You bet the working man is for Scoop Jackson. Listen to the way he talks to them. How many laborers here today are on the bricks? Jackson has always supported working men and women, and as president, he'll do even more. If you give me your vote, I pledge to you, five million unemployed workers will be back to work and off the bricks. Elect the Jackson delegates. Jackson means jobs.
