ry Sanger. Jr. And the minute take
the oath OF Office
"If you do
when do become national pov

and my backing. The senate is the
most powerful body In our govern
ment. Behind me will be the influence
of the principal financial combinations
in the country. Only one man In the
senate has the backing / shall have,
and he is an old man. Soon he must
die or retire. and his leadership will
fall to me. shall control the senate,
which controls all national legislation. /"
Sanger's eyes began to glitter.
"I'm not talking wildly. For some
time have been working solely to
this end. I'm not the sort to waste
energy. What suggest is now a GER
tainty-but for one thing. Between
me and my ambition there is but one
0bstacle-one man. Robert McAdoo."
Sanger's serenity was slowly giving
way to his inward excitement. Here
Is where Remington comes in. AS it
looks now McAdoo is sure to win. He
has got grip on this city that can't
understand. It is contrary to all po-

"Then you are responsible for the
ISLANDERS against Mr.. McAdoo?"
4 Nonsense! You have been listening
to the Dunmeades. We have publish

played at the right time and by the

mink when they hear that the dele
gates whose votes nominated him were
bribed with his money!
Another lie?'
II suggest the use of another word,

source. / want Paul Remington to
make the revelation. Think! The
whole state is watching MeAdoo-Mc-
Adoo, the reformed and reformer. In
the last hours of the campaign the man
who for years has been known as his
only close personal friend suddenly
breaks with him and exposes the re-

could withstand the reaction.

want you to marry Remington"
She looked at him curiously. i see.
You want to use me as bribe to buy

friend
bah! Don't be melodramatic.
There's no treachery here, no moral
