RECORD IS OPEN TO ALL.

Wait a moment. I know that kind well. And you can guarantee that any

supporter of mine comes out in the open and supports me. [Applause.]

And you can guarantee also that after he has supported me, and I

have accepted his support, I won’t repudiate him afterwards. [Great

applause. A voice: “That is a square deal.”]

And finally, you can guarantee this, that you can search from the top

to the bottom of my record in the past and of my record in the future

and you will never find that I have done or am doing or ever shall

do for Mr. Perkins or for any other human being [applause]――wait a

minute――or for any other human being one thing that I wouldn’t tell

to this audience in its entire details. [A voice: “We believe it.”

Applause.]

[Voices: “Put him out.”] Not a bit. I am glad to have him stay in.

Don’t put him out. [Applause.]
