Muskie for President MMW 72-2-60, a 60-second commercial. Well, I got off President Nixon's payboard last week because it's a sham. They're holding down wages while they're letting prices skyrocket. Prices going up faster since August 15th than before. And the only way this can be remedied is to put a man in the White House who will restrain inflation and increase employment. And that man, I believe, is Ed Muskie. That's why I'm here with him this morning. That's why I endorse him. People are not satisfied with the way controls are working. They're not equitable. They're not fair. What we really need is new leadership, a new president who will use employment as a way of dealing with the needs of people and employment and productivity as a way of dealing. And that's what we're dealing with inflation. Now, this, I think, is essential. What Mr. Woodcock and the other leaders of labor are saying. So that's why we're here. Well, I agree with you 100 percent that we need a new president. Next Tuesday is your time to help set things straight in America. Your vote for Ed Muskie will do it.
