I said this in this letter. and I want to repeat it. that I did not think Mr. GREENE of Massachusetts was dealing fairly with these people in holding out to them a hope that such a resolution could pass through this House. Therefore. knowing his attitude on the childlabor bill in the District of Columbia. as shown by his vote on May 9. 1909. knowing his attitude on the immigration bill. knowing his attitude on tariff matters. knowing his attitude toward the manufacturing -industries of this country. I did write this letter. and I used these words: Mr. Webster defines .a demagogue as "one who plays an insincere r6e in public life for the sake :of gaining political Jnfluence .or office. a poser in politics-. -one who panders to popular prejudice or. seeks to inflame reasonless passions in the advancement of his personal Interests." If he had had an Intimate acquaintance with Congressman GREEnE of Massachusetts. he could not have described the man. as he is known -to all men.
