CHAPTER XVI. A Victory for the People. I arrived at Chicago the day before the convention and, going at once to our state headquarters in the Great iMorthern. shut myself in with Doc Woodruff. My doorkeeper, the memfcer of the legislature from Fredonia, Ventured to interrupt with the announcement that a messenger had come from Senator Goodrich. "Let him in." said I. As the door-man disappeared Doe glanced at bis watch, then said with H smile: "You've been here seven tninutes and a half Just time for a lookout downstairs 10 telephone to the Auditorium and for the messenger to drive from there here. Goodrich is on the anxious seat, all right." The messenger was Goodrich's fiandy-man. Judge Dufour. I myself bavo always frowned on these public exhibitions of the intimacy of judges In practical politics; but Goodrich had (many small vanities he liked bis Judges to hold his coat and bis governors to carry his satchel. One rouId say that such petty weaknesses would be the undoing of a man.- Fortunately, we are not as weak as our weaknesses but as strong as our Strength; and while the universal Weaknesses are shared by the strong, their strength is peculiar and rare. After Dufour had introduced. himself and we had exchanged commonplaces tie said: "Senator, there's a little conference of some of the leaders at headQuarters, and it Isn't complete without Jrou. So, Senator Goodrich has sent Ine over to escort you." "Thank you very courteous of you and of him." said I without hesitation, for I knew what was coming as soon as his name had been brought in. and Day course was laid out. "Bat I can't leave Just now. Please ask him I ho won't come over any time within the next four hours." Thi3 bland! and without a sign that I was cot; clous of Dufour's stupefaction fcr bis vanity made him believe that the god the great Dufour knelt to must be the god of gods. There is no more important branch f the art of successful dealing with men than the etiquette of who shall call upon whom. Many a man has in bis very hour of triumph ruined his cause with a- blunder there by. going to see some one whom he should have compelled to come to him. or by com- ' peliing some one to ome to him when be should have made the concession Of going.- I had two reasons for thus humiliating Goodrich neither of them the reasons he doubtless attributed to me, the desire to feed my vanity. My first reason was his temperament; I knew his having to come to me tvould make him bow before me in tpirit. as he was a tyrant, and tyrants are always cringers. My second reason was that I thought myself near enough to control of the convention to be able to win control by creating the atmosphere of impending success. There is always a lot of fellows who wait to see who is likely to win, so that they may be on the side of the man in the plum tree; often there are enough of these to gain the victory for him who can lure them over at ust the right moment.' As . soon as Dufour had. taken his huge body away I said to Woodruff:" "Qo out with your men and gather in the office downstairs as many members of the doubtful delegations as rou can. Keep them where they'll be bound to see Goodrich come in and go out." lie rushed away, and I waited working with the leaders of three farwestern states. At the end of two hours I won them by the spectacle of the arriving Goodrich. He came In, erene, smiling, giving me the joyously shining eyes and joyously firm band-clasp of the politician's greeting: Toot an outward sign that he would like to see me tortured to death by tome slow process then and there. Hypocritical preliminaries were not merely unnecessary but even highly ridiculous; yet. so great was his anger and confusion that he began with the "prospects of an old-time convention, with old-time enthusiasm, nd that generous rivalry which is the sign of party health." "I hope not, senator," said I. pleasantly. "Here we think the fight Is aver and won." He, lifted his eyebrows; but I saw bis maxillary muscles twitching. "We don't figure it out Just that way at headquarters." be replied oilily. "But. there's no doubt about it. your man bas developed strength in the west. "And south." said I. with deliberate Intent to inflame, for I knew howThe must feel about those deleyjtVj ' we bad bought away from him. There were teeth enough in his smile but little else. "I thisk Burbank and Cromwell will be about even ea the first ballot," said ru. . "May the best man win! We'rea!" working for the good of the party and the country.

i cpeneu a arawer in tne table at

which I was sitting and took out a pa per. "We've , embodied our idea3 in this," said I, holding the paper toward him. "There's a complete platform. but we only insist on the five par agraphs immediately after the pre amble." He seemed to age as he read. "Im possible!" he finally exclaimed. "Preposterous! It would be difficult enough to get any money for Cromwell on such a platform, well as our conservative men know they can trust him. But for Burbank you couldn't get a "This Is a Timely Uncovering of a Plot to Turn. Our Party Over to Demagoguery." cent not a damn cent! A rickety candidate on a rickety platform that's what they'd say." I made no answer. "May I ask." he presently went on. "has ex-Gov. Burbank seen this this astonishing document?" Burbank had written it. I. confess when he first showed it to me, it had affected me somewhat as It was now affecting Goodrich. For, a dealer with business men as well as with public sentiment, I appreciated instantly the shock some of the phrases would give the large interests. But Burbank had not talked to me five minutes before I saw he was In the main right and that his phrases only needed a little "toning down" so that they wouldn't rasp too harshly on "conservative" ears. "Yes. Mr. Burbank has seen it," said I. He approves it though, of course, it does not represent his personal views, or his intentions." ? "If Mr. Burbank approves this," exclaimed Goodrich, red and tossing the paper on the table, "then my gravest doubts about him are confirmed. He i3 an utterly unsafe man. He could not carry a single state In the east where there are any large centerings of capital or enterprise not even our yellow-dog states." "He can and will carry them all." said I. "They must go for him, because after the opposition have nominated, and have announced their platform, your people will regard him as, at any rate, much the less of two evils. We have decided on that platform because we wish to make it possible for him to carry the neceesaxy western states. We can't hold our rank and file out here unless we have a popular platform. The people must have their way before election, senator, if the interests are. to continue to have their way after election." "I'll never consent to that platform," said he, rising. "Very well," said I, with a mild show of regret, rising also as if I had no wish to prolong the interview. He brought his hand down violently upon the paper. "This." he exclaimed, "is a timely uncovering of a most amazing plot a plot to turn our party over to demagoguery." "To rescue it from the combination of demagoguery and plutocracy that is wrecking it," said I without heat, "and make it again an Instrument of at least sanity, perhaps of patriotism." "We control the platform committee" he went on, "and I can tell you. Senator Sayler, that that there platform, cor nothing like It, will never be reported." In his agitation he went back to the grammar of his youthful surroundings. "I regret that you will force us to tight on the floor of the convention," f returned. "It can't but make a bad impression on the country to see twe "actions in the party one for the people, the other against them." Goodrich sat down. "But," I went on, "at least such a 9ght will insure Burbank all the dele rates except perhaps 200 or S00 you iirectly control. You are courageous Senator, to Insist upon a count c! noses on the issues we raise there." He took up the platform again, and began to pick it to pieces phrase by phrase. That was what I wanted. Some phrases I defended, some I conceded might be altered to advantage, others I cheerfully agreed to discard altogether. Presently he bad a pencil in his hand and was going over the crucial paragraphs, was making nterlineations. And he grew more and more reasonable. At last I suggested that he take t platform away with him. make th thanges agreed upon, and such othvyrs as he might think wise, and send it back for my criticism and suggestions. He assented, and we parted on excellent terms "harmony" in the convention was assured. When the amended platform cam back late ia the afternoon, I detailed Goodrich's messenger the faithful Dufour again. It was slfll the Burbank platform, with no c hanges e could , not concede. I hnd a copy made and i rave it to Dufour. saying: "Tell the

senator I think this admirable, a great improvement. But I'll try to see him to-night and thank hira." - I did not try to see him, however, f took no risk of lessening the effect created by his having to come to me. He had entered through groups of delegates from all parts of the country. He had passed out through C irowd. so well did my oasts employ r time his long stay with me gave them. On the next day the platform was adopted. On the following day, amid delirious enthusiasm In the packed galleries and not a little agitation among the delegates who, even to the "knowing ones," were as ignorant of what was really going on as private soldiers are of the general's plan of battle amid waving- of banners and crash of band and shriek of crowd Burbank was nominated on the first ballot. Our press hailed the nomination as a "splendid victory of the honest common sense of the entire party over the ultra conservatism of a faction associated in the popular mind with segregated wealth and undue enjoyment of the favors of laws and law-makers." When I saw Burbank be took me graciously by the hand. "I thank you, Harvey," he said, "for your aid in this glorious victory of the people." I did not realize then that his vanity was of the kind which can in an

instant spring into a redwood colossus from the shriveled stalk to which the last glare of truth has wilted it. Still his words and manner jarred on me As our eyes met. something in mine perhaps something he Imagined he saw made .him frown in the majesty of offended pose. Then his timidity took fright, and he said apologetic ally: How can I repay you? After all. it is your victory." I protested. 4 "Then ours, said he. "Yours, for us." (To Be otntlnuad.)

LIGHT TRUST STILL

ITS FIGHT Palladium Receives Letter Telling of Many Municipal Light Failures. AN AMUSING STATEMENT. THE COMMUNICATION SAYS THAT RICHMOND ALONG WITH OTHER CITIES HAS SOLD ITS LIGHT PLANT. That electric light plants operated by private capital have combined to drive out all municipal plants possible, is further attested by a letter which the Palladium has received from the Central News Bureau of Chicago. The letter is headed "Municipal Failures Throughout Indiana." The Central News Bureau, like many other similar concerns, makes contracts to get published anything a firm may desire. It sends out the material in typewitten form and many editors in want of copy use the stuff paying little attention to the contents. The letter rectived from the Centrtl News Bureau is of special local interest, as it contains the announcement that Richmond, along with a number of other cities, has sold its light plaut, after having failed to operate it at a profit. The statement is absolutely false, but that matters little to the news bureau, as long as the trust is willing to pay the publicity bill. What the Letter Contains. A part of the letter received is published. "Chicago, April 4. Reports just compiled by M. J. Francisco, au electric lighting expert, upon the operation of municipal lighting plants In Indiana show that municipal ownership has been such a general failure that many cities and towns have already abandoned or sold their municipal plants, and the indications are that several others will follow suit during the year. Complaint is made that the politicians as they have done in other states, have used municipal employes for political purposes, have appointed as municipal employes, men to whom they owed political favors, and without any regard to their ability to do the work required. This has naturally resulted in the rapid deterioration of the municipal plants, in poor service and high cost to the tax payers. Under these conditions the towns which have given over their plants and now obtain private lighting service consider themselves fortunate, while other towns which still operate their own work find the tax rate steadily .increasing the disconteI.it of the citizens growing. "Cherubusco spent ?25,Ov for a lighting plaut. was unable to make the first payment on its bonds and sold the plant. Dunkirk, Madison, Malone, Michigan City, Martinsville, Mishawaka, Wabash, Montpelier, Linton and RICHMOND ALL. SOLD THEIR PLANTS AFTER VARIOUS PERIODS OF FAILURE. The Malone plant was sold at a loss of $7,00O; the Michigan City, plant brought only ?2,'0; the Wabash, $18,000 investment was sold for iu nk: and the Montpelier outfit cost ?3S,OX."
