It's being translated into renewed vigor. I have never seen the Republican Party fired up as it has been fired up in the last three or four days since I became chairman about two years ago. There is a tremendous surge of enthusiasm and of spirit in the party.\"\nAs Alcorn finishes speaking, the next clip shows an unidentified white male reporter making notes in a notebook.\nIn the next clip, an unidentified reporter says, \"Your opposition says in getting fired up, you're getting pretty rough, and sometimes a little dirty. What do you say to that?\"\nAlcorn replies, \"Well, I've realized that when you tell the truth about some of the things that they've said and done, it hurts, and they feel a certain immunity when they get rough, but when they're answered, they think the campaign is getting tough. Mr. Butler said yesterday the Democrats had used admirable restraint in their language. I wonder if he'd read Harry Truman's latest [tribe?], when he referred to some of our speeches as political garbage. Now, if that's the kind of restraint Democrats want in this campaign, I can only say that people are going to be treated to some unusual language.\"\nAs Alcorn finishes speaking, the next clip shows another unidentified white male reporter making notes in a notebook.\nIn the next clip, Alcorn is speaking but his words are not audible for the first moments of the shot. He then says, \"I feel that in 1948, we had it won about two weeks before election. We lost it in the last two weeks. The Democrats are experiencing the same thing, and I think we're going to see history in that respect repeat itself.\"\nAs Alcorn finishes speaking, the next clip shows unidentified members of newsfilm crews, apparently all white men, recording the event.\nTitle supplied by cataloger."]},"rights":"http://rightsstatements.org/vocab/InC/1.0/","requiredStatement":{"label":{"en":["Attribution"]},"value":{"en":["In Copyright (http://rightsstatements.org/vocab/InC/1.0/)\nHenry W.
