| Description: | Speeches of Dwight D. Eisenhower (Ike, Dwight Eisenhower, Dwight David Eisenhower) Excerpt from 1952 Republican National Convention, Chicago, Illinois LSs crowded convention floor; MS Dwight Eisenhower waving to crowd from podium, almost hitting Mamie Eisenhower with his outstretched arms; MS Eisenhower accepting nomination: "You have summoned me on behalf of millions of your fellow Americans to lead a great crusade for freedom in America and freedom in the world. I know something about the solemn responsibility of leading a crusade. I have led one. I take up this task therefore in the spirit of deep obligation. Mindful of its burdens & of its decisive importance, I accept your summons. I will lead this crusade. Our aims, the aims of this Republican crusade are clear. To sweep from office an administration which has fastened on every one of us the wastefulness, the arrogance and corruption in high places, the heavy burdens and the anxieties, which are the bitter fruit of a party to long in power. To achieve these aims we must have total victory, we must have more Republicans in our state and local officers, more Republican governments in our states. A Republican majority in the United States house of representatives and in the United States Senate and of course a Republican in the White House." | |
