； that never in the history of American Presidential campaigns has a candidate gone further than I did in attempting to create a united front。 However； I believe that all things should be given by constitutional methods and with the approval； accord and ratification of Congress。 Only thus can the people determine from time to time； the course they wish to take and the hazards they wish to run。
Mr。 Roosevelt and I both promise the peop1e in the course of the campaign that if we were elected； we would keep this country out of war unless attacked。 Mr。 Roosevelt was re�elected； and this solemn pledge for him； I know will be fulfi1led； and I know the American people desire him to keep it sacred。
Since November 5； I have received thousands and thousands of letters； as a matter of fact； tens of thousands of them； I have personally read a great portion of these messages。 I am profoundly touched。 They e from all parts of our country and from all kinds of people。 They e from Catholics and Protestants； Jews and Christians； colored people and white people。 They e from workers and farmers and clerks and businessmen； men and women of all the occupations that make up our American life。 All of these letters and telegrams； almost without exception； urge that the cause that we have been fighting for be carried on。 In your enthusiasm for our cause； you founded thousands of organizations； they are your own organizations； financed by you and directed by you。 It is very appropriate for you to continue them if you feel so inclined。 I hope you do continue them。 It is not； however； appropriate to continue these organizations in my name。 I do not want this great cause to be weakened by even a semblance of any personal advantage to any individual。 I feel too deeply about it for that
