JFK campaigning in the Midwest Large crowd gathered in town square. John F Kennedy walking onto crowded platform, waving and smiling. JFK speaking to crowd (buzz throughout speech) "I come today and present to you a clear alternate between the Republican party and the Democratic Party, between the party of progress and the party of standing still, between the party that looks ahead and the party that says we ought to stay where we are. I ask your help in this campaign not nearly because it affects our party but because that this is the most dangerous time in the life of our country. I don't think we could possibly afford to stand still."
