In drawing the contrast between the two parties | it uses this language: “The Democratic party stands for democracy: the Republican party has drawn to itself all that is aristocratic and plutoeratic. The Democratic par. ty Is the champlon of eivil rights and opportunities to all; the Republican party Is the party of privilege and pri- vate monopoly. The Democratic party listens to the volee of the whole peo- ple and gauges progress by the pros perity and advancement of the aver age man; the Republican party is sub- pervient to the comparatively few who are the beneficiaries of governmental favoritism.” Taken as a whole, the Democratic national platform of 1008 is the most advanced and radical document ever adopted by a leading party In this country.
