' & THE ALAMANCE GLEANER. 1 The Honorable f! Senator Sagebrush FRANCIS LYNDE . ~ I CHAPTER VnL TUI OAKBIT, WHEN the new* went out to the dwellera tn the **ge brush hills that BOM Da • j - •*»*» bad accepted • place on the railroad's legal etaff the first wave of aatoundment was fallow ed by many guesses as to what young Blount's action portended; The Plainsman, the principal daily and the leading organ of the reform ers, was the first to find an ulterior motive in Evan - Blount's appointment and its acceptance. The editor took a half column in which to point out I in emphatic and vigorous phrase the danger that threatened the common wealth in this very evident coalition of the railroad and the machine. The Lost Blver Miner, on the other band, was unwilling to believe that the I younger Blount waa acting altogether 1 In his father's Interest in taking .the place provided for him by the railway. ' Hints there were in this editor's com ment of a disagreement between fa ther and son, of differences of opinion which might later on lead to a pitched battle. The Daily Capital, however—the rafl i road organ—covertly Insinuated that nothing for nothing waa the accepted rule in politics; that if the railroad had made a place for the son U was only a Justifiable deduction that the , father was not as inimical to the rall ' road Interest as the opposition press : was willing to hare the pubUo .believe. Elsewhere in the state press com ment was divided as the molder* of ! public opinion happened to. read party loss or gain in the appointment of the new legal department bead. But on the whole the senator's son waa given the benefit of the doubt and a chance to prove up. Time would tell. Of the interview .between the father and son. In which Evan had* an nounced his Intention of accepting a place under-MeVlckar, nothing waa said in the newspapers, for the very good reason that no reporter was pres ent. If the young man bad been prepared for a storm of opposition he was dia appolnted. The interview took place In the evening of the day Mr. Mc- Vickar's private ear was attached to eastbound train No. 102, and the place waa the sluing room of the senator's private suit. Blount bad meant to give some of Hi" ethical reason* fee taking the step which would PUt />Qch a summary end to tl« attorney,gen eralship scheme. But when the time came and be bad brusquely declared Ms purpose of accepting the n I*9*ll appointment he did not And it entirely easy to aay the other things. "So McVlckar talked you over f waa the father's gentle comment "UHaU right, son. You're a man grovpv.M* I reckon you know best what you want to do. If it puts us on opposite aide* of the political creek we won't let that roll the water any mora than It has to, win we?" To such a mild mannered surrender or apparent surrender the purely Altai , emotions could do no less than to re -1 (pond heartily. "We mustn't let It," waa the quick reply, but after that be added: "I fed that I ought to make some explana tions, though. I've been going about with my eyes and ears open, and I moat confess that the political field has been made to appear most unat tractive to me. From what I cam learn the political situation in tkia state seems to be very frankly con trolled upon the principle of bargain and sale. I couldn't go into anything like that and keep my self rsapisl." "No, of course you couldn't, eon, so yon just took a place where you. could earn good clean money in your profes sion. I don't blame you." Blount was vaguely perturbed. He could not help feeling that Ma fatter Was keeping something back. "Ton think there will be men or lees political work in my Job with the railroad?" he aaked, detennhwA-to gat at the submerged facts, If than warn any. "Oh, I don't know. MeVlohar has hired yon to do a lawyer's work, and. I gueae that la what ha wBI aspect you to go, lent it T Mr. McVlckar had net defined the gnttee of the new assistant cponselshlp i very clearly. Bat ten was a strong Inference running tbMogh.aH aald to the effect that the UtWfUlf the legal depaitaaaat wootd aaanr with tt eome political reeponeOUlUea, At the moment Blount had boon rattier glad that such waa the case. The rice prtaKaet very thoroughly of the justtoe *1 the railroad* company's roatwifltm—thgt i the tawa of the state, if lighjly admto | Istarsd. amounted to a practical confl* cation of the company's property.

"And I mean , to .do It" i "Of course yon do; youlve got to be honest with yourself—and with Mc- Vlckar. I don't mind telling you, eon, that I am squarely on the other aMe this time, and 1 bad boped you were going to be. But If you're not why, that's the end of-tt We won't quarrel about It" Now, this was uot;at all the paternal Attitude which the young man had prefigured. But before anything more could be said Mrs. Blount came to to remind them both that they bad a din ner appointment with Profesqor . An ners and his daughter and that there was barely time'to dress for It It was late that nlgbt, several hours after the Informal little dinner for- lira in the Inter-Mountain cafe, when the senator bad himself lifted from the lobby to the fourth floor and made bis way to the door of hie own apart ments. As waa her custom. bis wife was waiting up for him "Did you find out anything more?" aha naked without looking up from the tiny embroidery frame which seemed to be her constant companion at home or elsewhere. "Not very much. McVlckar has ,Used, things to suit himself. Evan'a law office position is to be pretty large ly nominal, I guess,* and Gantry's crowd is to see to It that he doesn't get to know too much, which mean* that the bribery la not to be done by the legal department In thla cam paign." "But they oan't keep him from find ing out about it" she protested. "They are going to try nighty bard anyway. Evan want* to believe that everything is on the high moral plane, and when a man wanta to believe a thing It's pretty easy to fool him. If II be.e.wlnolpg card to tbem If they can aendi the boy out to talk convincingly about the cleanllnees of the company's campaign. That sort of talk, banded out as Evan can do It If be Is convinc ed of the truth of what he Is saying. Will capture the honest ranchman ev ery time." "We must get him back." she said. "Have you thought of any plan?" "No." „ . She smiled. "ibave oplaa. Ho may tare to.Mke «»gvtarooorfe,ftf tnsat m*nt,-. and. H.may jwk* Jgm wry ill. Wofdd you mtod that?"

C., THURSDAY, APEIL 13, 1911. not required to take over toe old legal department office* In the second story of the (tattoo building, where all the other oScas o f the company were lo cated. Instead he was directed to lit op a cult of rooma in Temple court, the capital's moat pretentions uptown skyscraper, and there was something nor* than a hint that the Item of first coat need not be too closely considered. It was the vice president himself, writing from Chicago, who aathorlzed the new departure and loosened the purse strings. He wrote: Don't be afraid of spending a little money. Make your uptown offlae as at tractive as may be and arrange matters with Ackerton so that you will not be burdened with too much of the routine legal work. A successful lecal represent ative will be a good mixer, as I am sure you are, and will extend the circle of his acquaintance as rapidly and. as widely as possible. Tour appointment will ba fully justified when you shall have made your uptown office a place where the good clt- Isens of the capital and the state can drop In for a cordial word with the com pany's spokesman and for a better mu tual understanding of the facts. Acting upon this suggestion, Blonnt opened the Temple court headquarters and threw himself energetically into the. Indicated field. Ackerton, a tech nical expert with a needle-like mind andthe state code at his fingers' end», was left in charge of the working of fices in the railroad building, with In structions to apply to his chief only when be needed specific advice. At the uptown headquarters Blount gave blnfoelf wholly to the pleasant task of making friends. With a good •tore of introductions upon which to make a beginning and with the open handed, whole souled camaraderie of the went to help along, the list of ac qualntances grew with amazing rapid,. Ity. For the three or four weeks after Mrs. Blount had whisked the Annerses away to Wartrace Hall and the habitat of the megalaaauridae, the newly ap pointed "social secretary" for the rail read. as Honoris had dubbed him, re fused BO Invitations, never inquiring whether they were extended to his father's son. to the railroad company's legal chief or to Evan Blount in his proper person. During this social Interval bo snw little of his father, though he still oc cupied his share of the private dining room suit at the Inter-Mountain. Part of the time, as he knew, the sena tor was at Wartrace Hall, looking aft er hla huge landed estate and help ing to entertain the visitors from Mas sachusetts. But now and again the father came and went, and occasion ally there was a dinner for two In the hotel cafe, with a little good natured raillery from the senator's side of the table. "Got you chasing your feet right lively in the social merry-go-round these days, haven't tbey, son? Like It •s far as you've gone?" asked the ex cattle king one evening. ~.ir.*Lv "it's all In the day's work," laughed the younger man. "I'll' need" ail the 'pull' I can get a little later on, won't i r "I shouldn't wonder If you did, son; I shouldn't wonder If you did And I reckon you're doing pretty good work. Wan It McVlckar's Idea or your own—thl* sudden splash Into the social water hole?" "I don't mind telling you that It is a part of the new policy," returned the social Mplaslier, still smiling. "We are out to make friends this time, friends who will know Just what we are do ing and why we are doing It." "H'mr mused tlie senator. "So pub licity's the word. Is It?" "Yes, publicity Is the word. Tbo Gordon people say they are going to ■how ua up. There won't be anything to show up when the time cornea. We are going to beat tbem to the IHll boardn." —~ * "You can't do the circus act—ride two bora** at ooee and do the aame stunt oa both, son," the senator re marked ifravely. "If you're really go ing to put the saddle and bridle on the publicity nag you've got to turn Ibe other one out of the corral." "It la already turned out," averred the young man. -not affecting to mis understand "We buy 09 votes In this Campaign." The stout assertion was good as far .as It went The new division counsel made It and believed It But a Utile later be could not help wondering If be bad been altogether candid In mak ing It The ofllcee In the uptown skyscraper were not exclusively s railroad softs* center where the disinterested voter could come and have the facts ladled out to blm without fear or favor o» the part of tbe ladler. Tbey bad com* to.be also a rallying point for a hetero geneous crowd of ward workers, wire, pullers and small politicians most or' whom were anxious to be employed or retained as henchmen. Some of these "stretcher men," ar contemptuously called tbem hftd _beeß-eBa»loy«d In past campaigns; others were etHI the beneficiaries of .the railroad, bokllag payroll place* which Blount acutely suspected were Chiefly sinecures. Latterty this contlagent of strikers and be el era bad been greatly augment ed and It was begtoning to make Its flMrti mora emphatic. A dote* times • day Blount had the won phrase "nothing for nothing" dinned Into hla ears, and be waa shrewdly sus pecting that hla efflce had been made a dumping ground foe the ether de partments. Seeing Gantry, Blount took as early opportunity of aajlng: "tee bare, Dick; you fellows down town are making my office a cesspool, and I won't stead for It Garrtgan, that aaloon keeper In tbe Second ward. MMe np today to aak for a free ticket to Worthlngtot and return, and when 1 panned blm down he admitted that /on aent htm to me." "I did." aald Gantry, grinning. "Wby otherwise hare we got a postgraduate, double certificated political manager, I'd like to know?" "I gueee we may as well fight this out right hero and now, Dick," said Blonnt coolly. "I'm not chief rote buyer /Ear the Transcontinental con- W-" 1 "Who aald you worst" retorted the traffic manager. "If aaya Itself If I am to cut the pie and hand out places of It to theoe grnb stakers that you and Qarsoa and Bent ley and Klttredge are fending to me." "This time Gantry's gnu «»«■ play ful, but behind It there was a shrewd flash of the Irish blue eyes that Blount did not see. "I gupfw the company will be willing to furulsli a few small plea If you think you need them to go along with your Temple court office fittings," he aald. "Ah!" said Blount calmly, giving the exclamation the true Boston Inflection. oo*w "\ f U LV / "I'M AOT.NO TO FIR* THKU OUT NECK AXE ONOR." "You are cither too shrewd or not quite shrewd enough, Dick. You cov ered that up with a laugh so that 1 might take It 11s a joke If I happened to be too thin skinned to take It in disreputable earuest. Let us under stand each other. We are fighting In the opeu lu this campaign. Publicity la tbe word. I have Mr. McVlckar for my .authority Anybody who wants to know nuything about tbe railroad com pany'a business In this state can learn It for the asking and at flrat hand. Becrecy and all the varloua branda of political akulduddery that have been admitted In the paat are to be shown the door. This is the Intimation that was made to me. Wasn't It made to you?" Gantry did not reply directly to the direct demand. On the other band, he very carefully refrained from answer ing It lu any degree whatsoever. "You have your Job to hold down and I have mine," he returned. "What you say goes as It lies, of course, but I shouldn't be too hard on the little brothers If I wee# you." "If by the 'little brothers' you mean the pie eaters I'm going to fire tbem out neck and crop, Richard They make me excessively weary." Gantry's playful mood fell away from him like a castoff garment "I don't quite believe I'd do tbnt if I were you. I£van. There are pie eat both sldes jn every ntost, and, while they cau't do any Vauso' any great ainouilc of good, they can often do a good bit of barm. I wouldn't be too bard on tbem If I were you." "What would you do, or, rather, what did you do when yon were man aging tbe atnte campaign two years ago?" Inquired Blount pointedly. "I cut the pie," said tbe traffic man ager simply. "In other words, you let thla riff raff blackmail you and Incidentally put a big black mark against tbe com pany's good name." "Ob, no; I wouldn't put It quite that strong. Not many of these little fel lows ask or expect money. A free ride now and tben on the railroad la a boo! all they look for."

In the north end of the magnificent old building the sen ate met and at the south the house. For the first time in about a decade and a half the Democrats control the popular branch of Congress, aud will make laws. Instead of the big five —Uncle Joe Cannon, Jim Tawney, John Dalzell, Sereno Payne and Jim Sherman—Champ Clark, Oscar Underwood and their allies rule. Instead of John Sharp Willams or Champ Clark as minority leader, we find Jim Mann, and Floor Lender Payne has given way to Floor Leader Underwood. Thousands of people came to Washington to see the Republi cans go out and the Democrats go In. The galleries would not hold the crowds, aud being Democratic to the bone, the house leaders permitted men and woman Specta tors to enter and stand upon the floor of the house. On occasions like this it is the custom to admit persons by card. Consequently the demands for cards are great. After one secures his card he may not be able to get , in a gallery unless he goes early. The ruleof firstcome, flrstserved, 1 is practiced by the doorkeepers. ( That is the way it was Tuesday. Long before noou, the appointed > hour, the seats in the galleries ' were preempted and the doors packed with late arrivals. Hun -1 dreds with cards could not get In ' side the room. . For two hours every street car that passed near the capitol emp ' tied its load of humanity. Streams of men and women came from every direction. All sorts and conditions of people swarmed into , Hie corridors and blocked the hall ways. Among the well to-do and '« prospejpus of poor, hopeless vagabonds, _ .seeking pleasure among scores of better ' days.- I What a motley crowd I What curiosity! 1 The something in a man's heart that makes him long to gaae upon leading citizens of the day never fails on an occasion like that of Tuesday. Men who hud seen Champ Clark strolling about the ; streets of Washington like any other plain man, would have 1 given money to see him wield the gavel that Speaker Cannon turned over to him. The new men were not one with more intereeting than the older 1 ones. come of those present at the , opening of ihe new Congress are worth pen pictures. Aiqong the | most inspiring persons in the two houses, either aa members or spectators, were William Jen nings Bryan, Governor Harmon, Senator O'Gorman Marse Champ ; Clark, John Sharp Williams, Os | car Underwood, Jamee It. Mann, 1 Uncle Joe Cannon, Henry George, Victor M unlock, Senator Poindex j ter, Senator Briatow, Henat r La- Follette, Senator Cummins and * Senator Bailey. | Colonel Bryan, now a full-fledg ed cand'data hi the Democratic nomination for the presidency, in always diverting. His fine face, his large strong 1 mouth and bis square cut hair make him attractive to look upon. I have seen him here a dozen or * more times since I came to Wash > Ington in 1907. He likes to mix , with tbe statesman on the floor of , the bouse and to call on the boy* In the press gallery. The scribes 1 like him, far he is considered * "good copy." Like Theodore [ Roosevelt, Senator Tillman, Sena ' tor Bristow and Representative 1 Claud Kltchin, he talks with bis > mouth open, and la not afraid to ' be heard on public questions. Tuesday, while the congressmen were assembling for the session, the Nebraskan appeared, smiling | and a thunderous round of ap | plans went up. No man to the nation has been applauded more liberally and more enthaslastical ' ly than Mr. Bryan, lie inspires hurrah* and wbooplahs and hand claps. The ability to arouse tbe . multitude haa fooled him and hi* r friends. Men give their hearts I to persons for whom they would ' not vote. Bryan haa learned this to his sorrow. But nevertheless he can always get a rise out of a I crowd, and' in this respect be shines. I felt sorry for Judson . Harmon, the) man who rant well at the ballot box in Ohio, Tuesday for his ovation was feeble compar ed to that given Bryan, yet he did not seem to mind it. He realizes the difference. So does ' every other wise student of politi ' cul affairs. ' Governor Harmon is a fine look ing man. His ruddy face and his clear eye and his erect, alert body crowned with a magnificent head of iron gray hair, give him a dis tiguished appearance. He com mands respect from one and all. There is a great force in his very presence. Colonel Bryan and Governor Hariiion- shared • the honors of the day with Champ Clark, the new speaker, and Os car Underwood, the new head of the ways and means committee, aud leader of the Democrats on the floor of the house. Mr. Clark is known to the world. He has entertained through the Congres sional Record, the daily press and , from the public platform for de cades. He is as famous out of the house as he is in it. As an ■indi vidual performer the popular speaker has few superiors. He entertains and delights his audi ence with his lively lectures. In private conversation he is quiet and unassuming. In his breast he wears a great big, manly heart, full of the milk of human kind ness. He npeds no eulogy from me. Oscar Underwood is a deliberate pairs taking statesman, with de cided views and everlasting patience and courage. lie is not a spectacular man, but a substan tial one. The game of politics appeals to him and he playa it as the North Carolina mountaineer does checkers, from sun 1o sun. For two decades he has studied the tariff and know** it almost by heart. The schedules that he handles will know that they have been touched when he gets through with them. Jim Mann, the new Republican leader, is known for his ability to rftiseareal disturbance and his whiskers. No man can give more trouble to his opponents or show a heavier set of beard than Mr. Mann. Like the proverbial flea he is up and doing at the break of day whon Democrats are run uing amuck. He and Uncle Joe will fill tho house highway full of tacks for Democratic tires. Mr. Mann is not an orator but a scrap- , ping debater. The scent of battle delights him. Senator Williams, scrawny John Sharp Wlllams, with a head full of knowledge, is one of the attrac tive men in the senate. Senator O'Gorman and his family, a wife, si* girls and one boy, are attract ing much attention here. - A typical, old-time Americas family, is wliat they oall the O'Gorinans. The young women are hale and hearty and good look ing. So arc the senator and Mrs. O'Gorman. There are others too numerous to mention, all whom will «e eager ly watched throughout the session.
