by Chairman Presson, and that news
was tocsin for town committeeman
who had been doing.
Thelismer Thornton, house leader,
party boss, knight of the old regime
and representative of all that the re-
formers had been inveighing against,
still controlled his district. That fact
was impressed upon all, and the more
vociferous the resulting complaints Of
the opposition the more apparent 1t
became that 1t was no mere skirmish
party that had been sent out against
him. He had whipped the generals
themselves. His methods were men
toned discreetly. His results were
made known to all men.
The fact that it was his grandson
who had been nominated was not en-
phasized as an item Of general knowl-
edge. That Thornton had been nomi

point.

who were waiting and wondering just
what this reform movement would ac-
complish in actual results. and that
means ability TO own and distribute
plums. 1t shifted the complexion
without any one being the wiser.
And yet as the tide of caucuses
swe!led and reports OF results flowed
into state headquarters Chairman
Presson and his lieutenants found
themselves unable to mark men with
the old gertrude of touch. There was
