Sinopsis
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.

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
Mr. Chairman and Members of the Boston City Club: The theory that a man is lacking patriotism because he has affiliations with a political party and that his opinions are shaped by his party alliance rather than guided by consideration of the best interests of the country is held by many people but will not bear the test of analysis. Men do not form their opinions according to their political affiliations but form their political affiliations according to their opinions.
Undoubtedly a few men form their political affiliations because of the party connections of their forefathers or because of the particular section of the country in which they live and then adopt the political opinions of that particular party without having carefully judged the merits of the party's principles. But that is true only in exceptional cases, and it is the general rule that men judge first of the merits of principles and make their party affiliations according to their best judgment of what will promote the welfare of the country.
It is expected that this discussion will be partisan in its character. It is expected that the policies and principles of the Republican Party will be commended and the policies and record of the Democratic Party will be criticized. Some perhaps will attribute this attitude to purely partisan feeling and prejudice, but I trust that most of you will be considerate enough to believe that I am not making a partisan Republican speech merely because I am a Republican, but that I am a Republican because my study of governmental problems and political history has thoroughly convinced me that the adoption and maintenance of Republican principles in the administration of our Government will subserve the interests of the American people. If I were of the opinion that the principles and policies of the Democratic Party were superior, I should not hesitate to change my affiliations. I trust that my hearers will be generous enough to assume therefore that in what I have to say in adverse criticism of Democratic practices and accomplishments there is no feeling of partisan antagonism, no disposition to question the patriotism or personal integrity of Democrats, but an effort to show that, however honest and patriotic members of the Democratic Party may be, they have erred in the formulation of their principles and have proven themselves incapable in the administration of governmental affairs.
