Why TKe Times Supports The Democratic Party-I

This is a declaration of faith faith in the principles and ideals of a political party which has had its moments of greatness at those times when it was battling for the rights of man. . In this year of 1948 it would be easy not to be a Democrat. It has been nearly a century since the Democratic Party, has been so beset with strife and storm. On its left it has been weakened by the idealistic, if misjrirded, liberals who have followed the siren song of Henry Wallace. ' : On its right it is afflicted with the carbuncle of reactionaries following the states' rights "Dixiecrat" banner. Its leadership, honest and earnest as it is, is uninspired. And even in the inner circle about Candidate and President Harry S. Truman there is dissension and indecision. . the Republican opoos''ticn is strong and confident. Its leader, Gov. Thomas E. Dewey, is incisive, vigorous and sure of himself. His advisers are seasoned, canny and united. Followers of the two splinter groups which have so badly weakened the Democrats Party are equally fanatic in their devotions although as far apart as the poles. Even though "their numbers total but a minor- fraction of the electorate or of the Democratic Party their "kamikaze" frame of mind makes the battling of them one of weary discouragement. Whv, then, should cne be a Democrat in 1948? THE FIRST AND GREATEST REASON. That is an abiding belief in policies which transcend personalities, policies which have, lived for a century-and-a-half and which will continue to live as long as there lives a man on this earth who has within him the spirit of human dignity. Thomas Jefferson was more than the founder of a political party. He was the great prophet and spokesman for a spiritual faith. When he wrote in the preamble to the Declaration of Independence "We hold these truths to be self-ev'dent, that all . men are created equal, that they are endowed by their . Greater with certain unalienable Rights, that among these are Life, Liberty and the Pursuit of Happiness. That to secure these Rights, Governments are instituted among Men, derving their just powers from the consent . of the governed" he was voicing' the ageless hopes and aspirations of millions . who had preceded hfm and millions more in the generations to come. Throughout all his h'fe, in his every public act and public utterance, Thcmas Jefferson confirmed this unswerving i belief in the individual man. He it was largely who guided the wr'ting of the first 10 amendments tc the Constitution the Bill of Rights. These new reccgn'fd as the4 bulwark of our liberties, are concerned with the individual and his rights. They were designed to protect him against tyranny and oppression. Next in the galaxy of great Democrats was Andrew Jackson. Like Jefferson he believed in the common man and fought his battles lustily. The "better'' people, the "upper crust", were horrified at his inauguration when thousands of unkempt, unknown, uncouth followers of Jackson swarmed over the Executive Mansion, hailing the President by his first name and slapping him on the back. Never dur'rg his eight years in Washington did Jackson overcome the disapproval of the self-annointed aristocracy for his complete democracy. Never was he forgiven for having made the "little fellow" conscious of his political power and independence. 1 Yet h?s name shines in our. history as one of the greatest cf Presidents for that very reason. Coming up to modern times, the two great leaders and snokesmen for the Democratic Party have been Woodrow Wilscn and Franklin D. Roosevelt. . In the 21 years they occupied the White House, the ancient democratic doctrines of Jefferson and Jackson were given new life. Again it was the individual and his welfare which were of supreme importance to the government. Under them the shackles of "invisible government" the insidious control of great private interests were stripped from the body politic Human rights again became paramount to propei ty rights. Twice when the forces of tyranny abroad threatened to sweep democracy from all the world, it was these two Democratic leaders who met the challenge and aroused the people to the danger. 2 It .was they who visualized a world governed by law and order and who proposed and initiated organizations to protect man's rights everywhere. It was they who foresaw that the world, like the nation, cannot survive half-free and halfslave. What have the Republicans to offer in the face of this record of the Democratic Party? Who are the leaders who laid down their princinles- and what are thev? . The Republicans boast and justly of their great humanitarian founder, Abraham Ivncoln. Yet Lincoln's mournful funeral cortege had hardly reached the martyred Presi

dents grave at Springfield before his party had betrayed him. Since the death of Lincoln what Republican stands forth as a champion of man's rights? What Republican administration, beginning with Ulysses S. Grant and ending with Herbert Hoover,, had as its chief and first concern the advancement of the welfare of the mass of the people? What is there in the past 78 years of Republican history to give the average citizen any reason to think that a Republican administration would not, as always, operate upon the principle that if those at the top are taken care of, some- ; hc.w the little fellow will get along? The Progressives ? What have they to offer ? A party . with a leadership so naive as to allow its control to fall almost completely under the domination of followers of the greatest police state on earth certainly offers no hope, regardless of

A-party whose sole interest is the preservation of doctrines repudiated by the American people for generations? A party based upon bigotry and sectionalism? Is there any hope for America in that? . The Democratic Party is in a dire plight today. That we know as well as anyone else. But what the Democratic Party the genuine Democratic Party stands for is as great and shining today as it ever was in history. And it is perhaps more important today than ever before.

By tradition, she's entitled to the last word. So Packard has built it for her! She might not care whether what's under the bonnet is a "free-breathing" straight eight, or a turbo jet. But when . she praises delightful responsiveness, and the soothing smoothness of Packard power ... we like it! (What man ever put so dainty , a shoe against an accelerator pedal and got such results?) She might not care whether Packard's superior roadability and handling ease are achieved by advanced engineering, or by happy little gremlins.
