REPUBLICAN VIEWS OF THE CONSTITUTION.
know what our opponents claim / dis |
c4sSssd the question to some some, ey'a m IN my
yesterday. They claim extraordinary powers |
under what am pleased to call the blanket |
power OF the Constitution. viz. The general |
clause to do everything necessary to promote |
tho public welfare submit that u fair and |
just construction OF the Constitution does not |
give the Government any greater power than |
i contained IN the specified powers Of tho Con.
stitution. Whatever Is necessary to carry out |
the Spccted powers the general GOVERNMENT |
has a general power to do. but protest |
against tho modern Republican construction |
II that clause which; under tho theory |
necessary to promote the genera! welfare. that |
therefore they have right to promote their |
own individual welfare and tho welfare OF !
special and private interests Applause" .
>" The Democratic party has always been tho |
opponent Of Capitalization 0! tho powers in tho |
general Government. We ar. opposed to tn.
general Government assuming unwarranted
and unreasonable and unnecessary powers.
Let tho States control their domestic affairs.
Let the municipalities control municipal al
fairs. Let the Governmcnt simply carry out
the specified powers under the Constitution,
and then We will have u model government. n
government founded uron the will Of tho poo
pie. and u government which can hc admins
tered with safety. II was that great sttte-Inan.
