JOHN F. KENNEDY ON ABRAHAM LINCOLN: "A MAN WILLING TO RISK HIS POPULARITY IN ORDER TO MEET HIS RESPONSIBILITY"
Kennedy has some fun in this Democratic Party dinner speech pointing out how viciously two of the Party titans attacked each other: Thomas Jefferson thought Andrew Jackson "one of the most unfit men" for the Presidency, and Jackson likewise bashed Jefferson for considering himself "above the law." But Lincoln is clearly the President that Kennedy wishes most to emulate: "just 100 years ago, this nation was brought from the brink of disaster by a great President--a man willing to back up his words with deeds--a man willing to risk his popularity in order to meet his responsibility." He praises Lincoln's statement to his Cabinet on the day he announced the Emancipation Proclamation: "The Cabinet," Kennedy says, "had been carefully chosen to please and reflect many elements in the country. But 'I have gathered you together,' Lincoln said, 'to hear what I have written down. I do not wish your advice about the main matter--that I have determined for myself.'"
Also present are two pages of holograph notes outlining the themes Kennedy wants to raise in this speech, as well as some crowd-pleasing jokes: "Sen. Humphrey & I are running in Wisconsin. Pres. Truman says they are eyewash. Eyewash--that is the drink that is going to make Milwaukee famous. Nixon - been out there - going to the Rockefeller Memorial Lecture. Symington - fair fight - no survivors." He uses humor to try and defuse concerns over his Catholicism: "Religion - electoral college interdenominational, open up College of Cardinals. Dodd - trying to get them to change the unit role." Those notes made it into the speech as: "As for religion, they're working on a package deal -- if the electoral college can be changed into an interdemoiniational school, they'll open up the College of Cardinals...Speaking of the College of Cardinals, I heard that Tom Dodd had quite a discussion with them not long ago. He was trying to get them to abolish the unit rule." An important insight into the main themes of Kennedy's campaign, and his speech-writing methods.
