SENATOR HUMPHREY Cl:LLS FOR 'GOVERNMENT WITT A HEART'

America needs "government with a heart", Senator Hubert H. Humphrey declared

last night in a television broadcast formally opening his campaign for re-election.

In outlining his philosophy on domestic issues, Senator Humphrey said:

"A free society, ba sed on principles of individual liberty and social justice, require s respect for human rights as well as property rig]lts ••• Capital and labor are not enemies; they are and must be partners.. Busi­ness is entitled to a fair and reasonable profit . Labor deserves a fair arrl decent wage . Farmers are entitled to equality of opportunity with other segments of our economy.

"Americans ALL want and deserve an ever-better standard of living, that comes with a full economy.

"But America t.s government, in my op1.m.on, must be concerned about more than cash registers and bank accounts and economic reports -- it must be a government with a heart, concerned about its senior citizens, its children, its handicapped, and its veteranse 11

On foreign policy Senator Humphrey said:

"Our objective must be peace -- peace with honor, justice and freedom. To attain that obj ective, we must be dedicated in our belief a nd pr ac­tice of democracy , at home and abroad. r;e must build a s hield of strength for our defense against the evil and aggressive force of Communism. But the only vvar we seek , as freedom-loving people , is ·war agai nst inequality, disease , poverty, and fear . The se are the breeding grounds of world strife and Communism; they represent the world-wide challenge to American leadership -- and to freedom-loving people everyvvhere."

Senator Humphrey told his t elevision audience that in the days ahead he wanted

to "discuss frankly 1. ith you my serious concern about some of the trends in our

country today, and my reasons for bein g concerned. I want to report fully to you

)n my record, and the record of the present Administration."

In outlining the kind of a campaign he intends to conduct Senator Humphrey said1

"Hy life has been dedicated to making democracy effective, extending its blessings to all the people.

"With that background, I think it is understanable why I feel Minnesota's best interests will be served by a clean, hard-hitting campaign that re­flects the spirit of fair play. 1.1e here in I1ti.nnesota can and should set an example of politics at its best -- competitive but decent. We want and should v1elcome a serious discussion of the issues. For the good of our country, we need an informed people to soberly pass judgment on those issues.

"All campaigns should be based on truth, not smear. By our campaign let us reflect our belief in the democratic processes, and maintain the same high level of ethics during our campaigning that v1e seek to encourage in public life.

"So let's all of us work together in conducting a campaign that strengthens democracy by appealing to reason and judgment, not a campaign that weakens democracy by exploiting hysteria, emotions and fear.

"I give you my pledge that such shall be my goal," Senator Humphrey said.

Senator Humphrey declared that "government, in a democracy, is everybody's

business ••• whether you are a housmvife, a businessman, a farmer, an industrial

vrorker, or a professional man or woman, it is your business to be conceDned about

the kirrl of berica we have.

"You make that choice a t the ballot box.

"That's why I like to think of my campaign in the coming election as 'Operaticn

.AnBrican' - another step in the buildin g of our democracy. 11

As far as possible, speeches should be lll(3morized in advance, or at least practiced often enough so that the content can be presented in the time allowed.

The show is essentially set up in a series of somewhat formal~~ed con­versations. Consequently, it has been necessary to dovetail each speech with the ones preceding and following it.

worked. in the rebuilding of the .D-F-L Party in Minnesota.

It's a mstte: of record ~hat the voters of the 4th

election, he waa re-elected by a majority of ------

Al1d finally i I want you to meet John Blatnick: from

Chisholm, who has been in the United States House

of Representatives since 1946~ He is the author

of the Hinnesota taconite law" which is the basis

for the development of this great new industry in

our state, and he has done more than any one man

in our state 0 I suppose, in working for the rede .... •·

velgpment of northeast Vunnesota -- for a real

pros ram of reforestation, conservation, and agri-

cultural development .

John Blatnik is a veteran of Horld 1~ar II, with

an exciting record as a member of the Intelligence

corps~ and the Office of Strategic Services. Some

day, ask him to tell you about his eight months

behind enemy lines in Jugoslavia 1 working for the

rescue of k aerican airmen who had bailed out over

t hat countryo

Hell, t hese are the men ·t<rho have been working for

your interests in the United States House of

Representatives.

But let's meet them in persono Gentlemen, what

are the prospects for a truly Democratic congress

I would say that they are excellentr Senator Humphrey9

I don 1t think the people in my district are satisfied

with the Republican tax bill, which gave the greatest

relief to the 10% of our population which needs it

least, Congressman ~Wier, does your experience support

mine?

WIER:

It certainly does, Gene. And Iid like to add my

own belief that the public is r eady for some real

action on improving our unemployment compensation

laws.

EARSHALL:

I can second thatr Roye P~d just as important is

the record of the Republican administ;ration in

agriculture. Campaign promises have been thrown

to the vti.nd. The Republican farm program has

sent farm prices down while food costs have

continued to rise. Every month, farmers in

~unnesota are earning 2-1/2 million dollars

less than they did a year agoo

The ordinary consumer does not benefit from this

situation, because he has to pay more for his food

than he did a year agoo And businessmen and

factory workers are feeling the pinch, as farmers

have less and less money with which to buy the

things they need.,

The voters also know that the Democratic Congressmen

have supported liberal f forward--looking legislationo

For examplel the St. Lawrence Seawa~',~ which can meah

so much to the economic future of Ninnesota was finally

approved by Congress through the enthusiastic support

of Dewocratic Congressmeno We have opposed those ,, Republican~rograms which were against the best inte~ests

of the majority of our peopl et but we have continued

to fight hard for real, procressive legislationo

It's clear we ~ re going to have a big jo8 in the

people of Minnesotae

Congress ~ I wonder :i.:!' you would like to tell us

sorrething about what issues hel;:Jed ycu dec ide t o

I am very much concerned with agricultural problems,

Senator., 3efore the .. l952 election:! the Republican ,-

Representative from my di.strict announced that his

party defj~itely supported the principles of 50% of

parity for farm products, and he went into office

on the basis of tha t promise u

I think the vot ers of Minnesota are looking for

candidates who will consider their campaign plat-

form as sorrething to stand on after the election --~1

not simply as something to run on during the campaigno

SIEBEN:

All surveys show that small business rren have been

losing out in our economyc The Republican Party has

brought mo~e and more Representatives of Big Business

into the Administration, with the result that the

little fellow, the independent, is having more and

more trouble making a living, I think the voters

of Minnesota want t he independent business man,

th~ independent farmer, and the consumer to get

just representation in our Governmento

HJALMER PETERSEN:

Orville, I think the thing the voters

are looking forward to most is t.."'le vigor,

enthusiasm, and honesty they know you

bring to them. We have suffered so long

from a tired, lazy, indifferent, and

corrupt administration that your campe. 'l gns

to Build Minnesota's Future have swept li ke

a breath of fresh air through the s ·ta.te~

with ~--campaign to bring a good, modern -· highway sys~m to Minnesota, that will act

as a spl.Z~~oss, instead of handi"

things the voters are looking for this .. --

year is a return to simple honesty in

carefully hidden inefficiency and waste .

the long-concealed shortages, the supp~~

res sed reports. the perpetual stealing

of state f1.mds, the government by alibi

and press release~

They are looking for a return to r·ec·>

know that you stand for reorganizing

the government along the lines J.aid out

by the Little Hoover Commission~ They

know that that step alone would save

the t~ayers 4 and a half million

dollars a yearo

They are looking for an administ~ation

that vdll be soundly businesslike and

honest, and they know that they can find

that kind of administration only in the

D·F-L Party.

HANSEN:

The people are concerned about the

farm problem" Our farmers know that

the state administration has forgotten

them -- ~ doesn St care what happens

to them. They have seen the farm

situation grow steadily worse. and

no sign of any program from the state

HUMPHREY:

T hese are ~ fateful times6

Hone sty and sincerity and wisdom in

government ar e p3 rhaps more important

now than they have ever been in the

history of our country~

I dontt have any intention of telling

you how you ought to vote. That 's for

you to decide -- that's the .American

way.,

But I would like to say this . Th:ink

it overo Think it over carefully. We

have done the best we lmow how in trying

to help you get acquainted with the

Democratic~Farmer-Labor eRdorsed candidates.

As much as he possibly could, each one

has tried in p ast weeks to Jet you know

where he stands on public isrues, 1>ID.at

he thinks is right for our state and

ne:tion. Anit every one of them will

continue to do that in the weeks ahead,

right up to the geJreral election.

We have met h e r e with you tonight so

you might have an e l ection - eve look at the

men whas e names will appear on your ballot

tomorrow., I hope you have followed care­

fully what they had to say. I hope you

will comFe it with what their opponents

h~ve been saying-- with their opponents 1

program and policies -- if you can find

out what th e;)r are ..

After talking with these men , and

wo r king with them, and watching them to­

night, I know how ISm going to vote. I'm

going to v ote for every one of them, be-

cause I think that : s what :JWm: is the best

for our state and our country. But I•m

not trying to tell you how to vote.

Compare the candidates who are askiug

for your votes tomorrow. Try to select the

ones who will most effectively, most vlg­ourous ly, and most honestly represent the

best interests of yourself and your nolgh­

bors. Search your conscience. And then

vote. Only :ill that way can democracy con ..

tinue to function. Only in t hat way can

we achi eve in Minnesota a government cf the
