(Applauae) 'l'o aoat or ua Andrew J ackson appropriately haa beoome the a)'!!'lbol or certain great ideals.

And, if at t l aea his paulonate devot1on t o thla cause of the average cltl:en lent an amazing r.eal to hla thoughte, ,!2 hla apeeoh and !2 hla actlona, the people loved hlm for 1 t the !lore, They reall:ted the in tensity or the a t tacks made by hla ene::al ea, by those who , throat fro::! po•er and posl tlon, puraued hi• wl th rel ent- leu hatred.

(Applause) Backed not o nly by hh party but by thoueands who had belonged to other parties or bel onged to no party at all, Andrew Jackson waa cocpelled to fight e•ery i nch or the wax f o r the !deale and .!hJ: policies or the Democra tic -.- Republic (in which he bel1evod) thnt was hie ideal.

(Applause) Yea, lt aeeoed that aooet1clea all were agalnat him - -all but the people ot the United Statu. (Applause) Beo•uee history eo often repeats ltaelt, (laughtel) let me analyze rurther. Andren Jackson stands out in the centurr and a halt ot our independent hlatorr, (aa a great A::l.erlcan) not mer ely becauae he wae two- !leted, (and} .!!2]: oerelY beoa.uee he !ought tor the people' s rlghtl, but be- cause, through his career, he did as auch as any man ln our history to increase, on the part of the voters, kno'll'l edge of public problema and .!.!! interest in their solution. FolloWing the fundaclent&ls of Jefferson he adhered to the broad philosophy that decisions made by the average of the voters wou14 be more greaUy enduring tor, and helpful to, the Nation than dec1a1ons made by sr.la.ll aeg:nenta of the - 5- electorate repreeentlng sru.ll or epeel al olanee endowed wl th sreat adTan ;&gee of eoclal or eeonOIIIle power.
