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, "That's right: tell us what to do;" and I tell them. I say "Exercise our vote intelligently by voting for me." And they do. That's democracy; and a splendid thing it is too for putting the right men in the right place.
