tween the way the Democrat looks at
things and the way the Republican
looks at things When l say Repubil-
can. do not mean the average Re
publican who votes. for the average
Republican who votes has mighty
little Influence upon the average Re
publican who holds aigh ofice.
There IS wide difference between
the rank and file Of the Republican
party and the Republican leaders.
The average Republican IS like the
average DEMOCRAT But the high Re
publican looks at society from an en-
tirely different standpoint. The Dem
oerat believes that prosperity works
up from the people, and the leading
Republicans Of this country believe
that prosperity drips down. leaks
down from the higher classes. and.
therefore. when they come TO consid.
or policies. the Democrat and the av-
Srags Republican want policies Cor
the whole people. while The leading
Republicans Insist that II you lsgislats
for the weii-todo. they viii take care
Of the poor.

ment and society from these different
standpoints. that the Democrats
would more carefully guard the In
terests Of the common people than
these in charge % the administration
