INTRODUCTION

THE MOTION BEFORE THE HOUSE

This is a book a hundred million people would write if they had time.

I am nominating in this book--in the presence of the people, the next
President of the United States.

The name is left blank.

I am nominating a man not a name.

I am presenting a program and a sketch of what the next President will
be like, of what he will be like as a fellow human being, and I leave
the details--his name, the color of his eyes and the party he belongs
to, to be filled in by people later.

Here is his program, his faith in the people, his vision for the people
and his vision for himself.

No one has ever nominated a President in a book before.

I do it because a book can be more quiet, more sensible and thoughtful,
more direct and human, and closer to the hearts of the people, than a
convention can.

A book can be more public too--can be attended by more people than a
convention
