Campaign Ad-Jackie Kennedy Speaking Spanish-1960

This was a campaign ad used by the Kennedy campaign during the 1960 presidential election. Here is a translation of what Jackie is saying in Spanish:

JACQUELINE KENNEDY: My dear friends, I am the wife of Senator John F. Kennedy, candidate to the Presidency of the United States. In these times of danger when world peace is threatened by communism, it is necessary to have in the White House a leader who is capable of guiding our destiny with a firm hand. My husband will always watch over the interests of all sectors of our society who are in need of the protection of a humanitarian government. For the future of our children, and to achieve a world where true peace exists, vote for the Democratic Party on November 8. Long Live Kennedy!
