March 29, 1952. Address at the Jefferson-Jackson Day Dinner. President Harry Truman speaking, Whoever the Democrats nominate for President this year, he will have this record to run upon. I shall not be a candidate for reelection. I have served my country long, and I think efficiently and honestly. I shall not accept a renomination. I do not feel that it is my duty to spend another 4 years in the White House.

Richard Nixon and Patricia Nixon at Republican 1952 national convention. Dwight Eisenhower (Dwight D. Eisenhower, Ike) Ladies and Gentlemen, 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 of 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 burden and 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 anxieties which are the bitter fruit of a party too long in power.
