The fact that thousands of voters
who have been allied with reform
movements intend to support the full

nominees for congress, has necessitat,

that they'll rake up every lie and slur

81 suppose SO. But that won't affect
the general issue either. You don't
seem to realize, Ansel, that this isn't
the ordinary routine campaign. It's
An effort to throw off Boss rule and
to free State. Politics and person
alities don't enter into it at all. I'd
as soon have run on the Republican
as the Democratic ticket If 1t weren't
that the Republican Party in this
State Is virtually dead. The Demo

Mountain State is practically the gov

Excuse me, Mr.. Standish," said a
clerk, entering from the outer Office,
"Mr. Conover would like word with
you"
The committee stared at one an
other, unbelieving.
"H'm!" remarked Ansel, breaking
the silence of surprise, II guess the
campaigns on in earnest, all right.
Shall you see him?"
Eyes. Show him in please, Gard
ner."
"He says, sir, he wants to speak
with you alone" added the clerk.
Tell him the Leagues committee
are in session, and that he must say
whatever he has to say in their pres
ence"
The clerk retired and reappeared
few moments later, ushering in
Gerald Conover.
A grunt of disappointment from
Ansel was the first sound that greeted
the long youth as he paused irreso-
lutte just inside the committee-room
door.
Good morning, Gerald" said
Standish, rising to greet the unex-
pected visitor; 1--WE thought it was
your father who"

face was still twitching. and his usual
ly immaculate collar awry from the
recent paternal interview.

A gasp of amazement ran around
the table. Then, with crow of de-
light, Ansel sprang up.

It's good for more votes than you
know, Standish! Why, man, it's
bonanza! When even mans own
son can't"
Standish cut him short.
Are you drunk, Gerald?" he asked.
"No. I'm mott" vociferated the lad.
"I'm dead cold sober, and I'm doing
this with my eyes open. l want to
Join your League. and I'll work like
dog for your election"
But why! You and 1 nave never
