"me too" campaign then laid
down a postwar economic goal
of 60.000,000 productive jobs In
a nation freed of wartime con
trols over wanes, prices and nro.
ductlon. He foresaw easier busi
ness taxes to spur Industrial de
velopment and promised that the
veterans of thlE war "can crow
unoies on ineir own larms instead
of having to sell apples on street
corners."
The whole economic outline, he
said, will give the republican
orators "more opportunities to
sav "mo too" in what he termed
"the strangest campaign I have
ever seen."

"And thev go on to say: 'These

way to victory; and, if you elect
us. we promise not to change that
