CHAPTER 4.

The Voice Of the People 10 Heard.
Gormly's refusal to accept the In
dorsement and become the nominee
OF the outs created a great sensation.
1t was an evidence. which by and by
sven the stupid could ~apprehend. that
Gormly literally meant what he said
when he declared that he was to be
an absolutely independent candidate,
tied to no faction. bound by no party.
entirely free and unfettered.
The men who rallied to his support,
while as innocent as babes In the prac-
teal politics affected by Lifey and
Benson. were nevertheless men Of
ebounding zeal. keen intelligence, and
high quality. Nor were the workers
that gathered round the new leader
entirely from the social set and circle
Of the Haldanes. Gormly In u way
or another employed . vast number
Of working men. His relations with
them had always been not merely

and generous. They we're organized

get their forces in line. And l think
that's all"
Not quite. Mr.. Haldane," said Lif-
fey.
What elsey"
You'll git the barrel open for the
necessary expenses OF the cam

Quite co." said Haldsne, dryly.
You may depend upon US to do what

Il think we've done a pretty good
nights work." said the district attor-
ney, rising to his feet.
Don't go yet" said Haldane. we
must Ak up the slate first, and that
will be all"
II was a half-hour later when the
last n departed from the house.
Haldane was quite aware Of the con-
ditions under which his fortune was
being increased and his power extend
ed. He had been brought in contact
with the naked reality OF the situa-
ton a great many times; but 1t
seemed to him that never before had
II presented itself in so hideous and
unattractive q guise as on that night.
The %fnancier was hardened. His con-
science, while keenly alive in other
directions, in matters concerning poll
tics and the people was scared and
indurated. But what had been said
and what he had discussed that night
had sickened him.
Haldane felt quite lonely, quite old.
as he sat there in the small hours OF
the morning, his cigar gone out,
musing over the situation. He pulled
himself together at last. The battle
was not lost. The enemy had not won,

HEALTH AS AN INVESTMENT
FraternaI Orders, Labor Unions and
Insurance Companies Erect
Tuberculosis Sanitoria.

AS all investment in the health Of
their members, four large fraternal
orders, two international labor unions
and one of the largest insurance com
panies in the United States have es-
tablished sanatoria for the treatment
of tuberculosis, according to a state
ment issued by the National Associa-
ton for the Study and Prevention of
tuberculosis. The Royal League, the
first fraternal order to establish a
sa~natorium, conducts a hospital for
its tuberculous members at Black
Mountain. The Modern Woodmen Of
America conducts one at Colorado
Springs; the Workmen's Circle, n
at Liberty, n. Y, and the Independent
Order of Foresters have one at Rain
bow Lake, n. Y, and will sOon open a
second one ct San Fernando, Cal. The
International Typographical Union has
since 1898 conducted a sanatorium at
Colorado Springs, and the Interna-
Gonal Printing Pressmen and Assist
ants Union of America has recently
opened a new institution at Rogers
Vile, Tenn. A leading life insurance
company is now erecting a sanator-
;um at Mt. McGregor, N. Y, which will
be the first Of its kind established
by an "old lire" insurance company.

every direction. Before cn- enemy
realized it, ample time had been Sc
cured in every possible assembly
room and there were nightly meetings
all over the city.
In the Gormly store itself was q
great auditorium In which free con-
certs. lectures, and entertainments
had been given for the employees and
patrons OF the store. This auditorium
had outside entrances and could be
completely cut off from the other
business. Every afternoon he assem-
bled In the auditorium the workers
and speakers, and every afternoon
there was the freest possible discus
sion of the issues. of what wss TO be
said in the speeches of the night, of
the places to be covered. The man
showed a genius for leadership and
direction that was amazing. He de-
veloped a power Of succinctly pre-
senting the facts, which In large
measure he was able to communicate
to his followers.
Livingstone Haldane's example had
been followed by not a few young men
OF fortune and position. II became in
a certain sense among a certain set
the fashion to campaign for Gormly.
Automobiles OF all sorts were avail
able for transporting speakers. and
classes and social distinctions were
wiped out In the greater issues in
volved. BY these methods what was
picturesQuely described In the city pa
pers as a whirlwind campaign was
inaugurated.
1t must not be supposed that the
opposition was idle; by no means
Never had its activities been so great,
It's energies so manifestly put forth.
1t had welcomed with Joy the news OF
the refusal Of Gormly to become the
candidate OF the minority party. LIZ
fey had at once decided in his own
mind that that settled the issue. Even
farther sighted men like Rutherford
were Of the same opinion. Haldane
alone, the wisest, shrewdest. and
ablest Of the group, was not con-
vinced, and under his vigorous though
secret urgings the ring redoubled its
efforts to beat the man.
At the proper time the proposition
from the party in power to make a
combination with the outs was sprung
upon the public. 1t was hailed on one
side as an evidence Of the fairness
OF the party in power and the Sachem
society. which many people imagined
needed no alliance of that kind. II
The Miller press. [volume] (Miller, S.D.) 190?-current, 1911-10-05

was considered as testimony to the
fact that the party in power had moth.
Ing to conceal, since it admitted the
outs to It's councils, and that it was
sincerely DESTROYS Of giving New York
a business administration In which all
factions and parties should be repre-
sented. There was truth in the con-
tention. too. The only faction or party
that would not be represented by this
alliance would be the common people.
Wiser heads. however, realized that
altruistic methods were inconsistent
entirely with the real spirit of either
party and saw in the alliance q ccr~
fession OF weakness. And the editorial
contingent Of the Gornly papers
seized upon this idea and made tho
most of it. In the beginning, CORN
ly's advertisements. including his Do
litical manifesto., had been printed
In every paper In the city. They were
paid for a. other advertisements are
and why not? But the Sachem 80
ciety had put the screws on certain
journals which owed much to its inIu.
ence, and because OF this pressure
they had summarily refused any more
Of Gormly's unique proclamations.
They professed themselves entirely
ready to print his business advertise
msnts at the ucual rates. Gormly
retaliatsd, Of course, by withdrawing
all advertising OF any sort from them,
and doubling the space he purchased
In the other papers. Naturally, there
fore. the press divided In two Q c
tons: those that rare sentrollsA BY
