So long as I speak the truth and do not maliciously | slander or injure the reputation of another, I may express my, feel- ings on any subject—I may even criticize the elected representa- tives of our government and with- out fear of reprisal, the humblest | laboror may even rebuke the head of our government. Freedom of worship and freedom |of peaceful assembly are other | things that Democracy means to |me. The right and privilege of ownership of property is a wonder- ful privilege which we enjoy under our democracy and makes of every American a partner in our demo- ‘cratic system. Our system of free enterprise has brought to us a liv- ing standard unattainable in any |other country in the world. Com- | munists often criticize our capital- | ists without realizing that they are |small people who through owner- ship of stock in our many corpora- |tions are business partners in our | free enterprise system. I like our democracy because it assures me freedom from fear. No | matter what I say or do within the law, I have no fear of reprisal, I do not Year that if I reach a pos- ition of influence and become a threat to those in power that I will be secreted away to a political prison. I have no fear of unlawful search—and even the army may not requisition my home to quart- er its soldiers without my permiss- ion. Democracy means all of this to me. Democracy is very dear to me for all of these reasons and I will do everything I can to preserve it. If I am constantly vigilant, I will never lose these things that I value so highly. Many times in the past have I risen to the defense of Democracy—and many times in the future will I do so again—and never have its enemies prevailed against it—and never will they prevail against it so-long as I continue to use judiciously the same power- ful secret weapon I have used in the past—the secret ballot. It seems to me that no one can look upon a democracy such as ours without a feeling of pride and hope. The future is in no way cer- tain. But of one thing, all Ameri- cans can be sure—if there is a way to peace and plenty and security, it is along the road marked freedom and opportunity for all men—the road we are following in this coun- | try. This is what Democracy means to me!
