Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from Certain Policies of the Present Administration and Their Effects: An Address Delivered Before the Boston City Club, Boston, Mass;, On April 13, 1916; In Relation to Certain Policies of the President Administration and Their Effects
It is well known to all of you that the Democratic Party has been in control of the affairs of the United States but twice in 50 years. Members of that party, therefore, have not had the responsibility of shaping the constructive policies of the Nation. Quite easily they have drifted into the attitude of being Opponents of Republican policies and affairs, rather than proponents of policies of their own. They have been against the Republican administrative endeavors, rather than builders of constructive policies of their own. Their habits of thought, therefore, have been such that it is not easy for them, when vested with power and responsibility; to take up the large and exacting undertaking of working out the details of legis lation or solving the intricate problems of executive administration.
