Precisely so. The democrats who
have been applauding the president
and hailing him as democrat have
overlooked the most undemocratic
and at the same time the most dan
gerous tendency Of his policies
the tendency toward Capitalization.
That is the quintcsScncc Of all that
is opposed to democracy. His cen
