Excerpt from Speech of Hon. Elihu Root: Secretary of State, at Utica, New York, November 1, 1906
My Friends and Neighbors:
A demagogue is one who for selfish ends seeks to curry favor with the people or some particular portion of them by pandering to their prejudices or wishes or by playing on their ignorance or passions.
We are witnessing in the State of New York one of those tests of popular government which often have come in the past and always will come when a skilful demagogue attempts to get elected to office by exceeding all other men in the denunciation of real evils and in promises to cure them.
