1t was a half-hour later when the
last one 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
1t presented itself in SO hideous and
unattractive a guise as on that night
The financier 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

every direction. Before the enemy
realized 1t. 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 .
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 OF 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 was to be
said in the speeches of the night. OF
the places to be covered. The man
showed 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 few young men
OF fortune and position. 1t 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 whirlwind campaign was
inaugurated.
1t must not be supposed that the
opposition was idle; by no means.
Never had its activities been SO great.
its 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. LII
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. 1t

was considered as testimony to the
fact that the party in power had moth
ing to conceal. since 1t admitted the
outs to its councils, and that 1t was
sincerely desirous Of giving New York
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 a con-
fession Of weakness. And the editorial
contingent Of the Gormly papers
seized upon this idea and made the
most Of it. In the beginning, CORN
ly's advertisements, including his po-
litical manifestos. had been printed
in every paper in the city They were
paid for as other advertisements are
and why not? But the Sachem So
ciety had put the screws on certain
journals which owed much to it's influ-
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
ments at the usual rates. Gormly
retaliateu. Of course. by Withdrawing
all advertising Of any sort from them.

in the other papers. Naturally, there

"Oh, a mile or a mile and a half. I
should say: but every possible right OF

Somebody else will get 1t. Of

wants"
"But It will be no good to anybody
else without what we've got" suggest
ed Van Slyke.
True: but we have got several hun
dred millions involved and can't adopt
. do-nothing policy. Probably ten
millions or even less will cover the
expenses required by rebuilding un-
der the old or new franchise, and that
ten million has us by the throat"
ut should be easy for five hundred
millions to freeze out ten." said
