“I talk democracy to these men and women. I tell them that they have the vote, and that theirs is the kingdom and the power and the glory. I say to them You are supreme: exercise your power. They say, Thats right: tell us what to do; and I tell them. I say Exercise your vote intelligently by voting for me. And they do. Thats democracy; and a splendid thing it is too for putting the right men in the right place.”
