"This is a call to the youth of America--to Young Democrats, Young Republicans and all young people whose first interest is their country. The election is over: let there be no bitterness in the hearts of the losers, no vindictiveness in the winners. Those who lost fought for an ideal just as tenaciously as those who won.
