s that the Red
Flag is up to the people and not up to the White House--up to the people
in five hundred thousand factories and offices and stores, up to the
people on both sides of a hundred thousand counters, up to everybody who
buys a paper of pins or a pound of cheese while they are buying it, up to
everybody who buys a house or a watch or a cake of soap, a safety razor
or a railroad, up to everybody while he is producing, while he is buying
and selling, up to everybody individually and collectively to see that in
every ten cents they spend in this country and every ten minutes they
work in this country, the Red Flag--the civil war flag, is stamped on.

Only the people can head off the Red Flag--all of the people working on
it on their daily job all of the time.

The more our President believes that the work of dealing with the Red
Flag in this country is up to the people the more he gets the people to
believe it, puts the work off on the people, the better the work will be
done, the further the Red Flag will be from getting hold of the country
and the longer the President will be in the White House.

We call our President our Chief Executive. What we put him in the White
House and make him our chief executive for is that he shall have
imagination about a hundred million people besides himself, that he shall
have imagination about what the people can do and imagination about
getting them to do it.

An executive is a man whose work is making other people work.

We call the place in which we have our President live the Executive
Mansion. The best man to elect to live in it is the man who can make a
hundred million people work.
