My countrymen: You have called upon me to assume the highest office within our gift. I accept the trust humbly and gratefully. My sole determination is to be President for the people. The office of President is the highest in the land. It can be the humblest also, if we regard it as we must - in the light of basic democratic principles. The first of these principles is the declaration of the Constitution that “sovereignty resides in the people and all government authority emanates from them." This simply means that all of us in public office are but servants of the people. As I see it, your mandate in the past election was not a license for the selfish enjoyment of power by any man or group of men. On the contrary, it was an endorsement of the principle - at times forgotten - that the general welfare is the only justification for the exercise of governmental power and authority. Your mandate was a clear and urgent command to establish for our people a government based upon honesty and morality; a government sensitive to your needs, dedicated to your best interests, and inspired by our highest ideals of man's liberty. We have a glorious past. Now, we must build a future worthy of that past.
