THE WHITE HOUSE WASHINGTON October 1964 Mr. Marriner S. Eccles c/o Hotel Utah Salt Lake City, Utah My dear friend: You are making good progress in the campaign, and I am especially proud and grateful that you are putting forth an extra effort#. In this election, more than ever before, our Party1s cause is our country1s cause. The center of American life is being challenged by the fringes on the extreme. As Americans, even more than as Democrats, we must make sure that the cause of peace and freedom and decency wins on November 3. Moreover, we must make sure that the margin of victory leaves no doubt where the American majority standsĀ« I know that you and your fellow Democrats will give an extra measure of effort over the next weeks and days of this campaign. I am working, day and night, because I believe this election is a turning point in our national life, It gives me great strength to know that your campaign is going on day and night, too. I know too, that you are doing your utmost to make this an overwhelming election victory, and I appreciate it. Sincerely, Lyndon B. Jonnson
