Daily Kos has a short summary of Democratic National Conventions beginning in 1924. Several have attached the acceptance speech by the candidate of the time.
Very interesting is, Harry Truman’s acceptance speech at the 1948 Democratic convention. I was struck mostly by the plain language and the open partisianship of his speech. Perhaps in bold words we find more truth than those slight, pretty things spoken aloud for us to marvel over:
I have repeatedly asked the Congress to pass a health program. The Nation suffers from lack of medical care. That situation can be remedied any time the Congress wants to act upon it.
And we wait; we still wait.
