Note on Mor La Vette Address Attacks American Democracy
The prepared address notes on pages 12 and 13 call out what is described as the blackest curse of American democracy. It argues organized interests seek not efficiency or fair wealth distribution but to impose higher costs on the public. It singles out J. Pierpont Morgan as a brain behind these changes and criticizes corporations for influencing living costs and the presidency. The tone mocks wartime democracy references.
