friendly interest In his honorable ambi-
tion, TO lead men and mold the destinies
of nations. Senator Beck is a determin-
ed advocate OF the recognition of the
Cuban revolutionists by the.United States
and among the men who are opposed are
two of his oldest friends. They conspire
to make him change his views by becom-
ing Secretary OF State, and conforming
his opinions to those OF the President,
and when he refuses they try to gain
control OF the National Convention, and
offer him the Presidency on condition
that he abandons the policy that Will
prove ruinous to them. He refuses still,
and learns of their treachery to him be-
fore the convention is held and withdraws
his name. before his enemies had the op-
portunity of having IL placed before the
delegates and rejected. In the end the
Senator really gains control OF the conven-
tion. and succeeds in naming the nominee
he desires. The sentimental thread OF the
story Is the love OF the Senator for the
daughter of one of his Oldest friends, and
present enemy. Mr.. Goodwin's support
IL a remarkable one, and includes such
well known artists as Miss Annie Russell,
Miss Jean Clara Walters, Miss Estelle
