"Unlike my opponent, I Avas not reared in the lap of luxury. Fellow citizens, I was the son of poor but honest parents. They could afford onlA r one 'plane —an old three-seatci, single-motored job. I used to get up early in the morning to help my | father tAvist the propeller and tickle the valves so he could get started for the city. '■We hnd no luxurious 20-passen-ger cabin 'plane AvLtli expensive equipment. But our little 'plane 'taught us economy. I remember the first time the motor stalled, 1 jumped out and! made a safe landing— Avith a parachute mother had made for me out of a pair of dad's old pants!"
