Van Slyke and McRonald nodded “I think we’ve done a pretty good night’s work” said the district attorney rising to his feet “Don't go yet” said Haldane “We must fix up the slate first and that will be

business of his store His business rivals and associates indeed suggested and the suggestion was quickly seized upon by the administration papers that the whole thing was a clever advertising dodge and that Gormly was simply using his candidacy to boom his business There was no satisfactory answer to this which was one of the best argument could have been devised by the that and it was harped upon opposition Immensely although their leader was vigorously Justified from this charge by his army of fighters I'he expenses of the campaign were enormous Not one cent was paid out for bribery or for the purpose of influencing votes in any Improper way but the hiring of halls the payment of the expenses of meetings organization transportation salaries printing and so on aggregated an extraordinary sum Even Gormly himself had not realized how great these expenses would be but he paid them without His resources were vast blenching He put at the disposal of his candiand earndacy all the accumulations He saw ings of years that by the time the vote was taken his ready money would be expended Of course he would still have his great business which would be entirebut everything else ly unencumbered would go He still kept to his plan of printing every week sworn statements of his expenses challenging the other party to do the same The reason the society did not publish its expense account was not because it was ashamed of the amount for it was vastly greater than what Gormly expended They had nearly as many expenses as he except for the newspaper advertising which they got free
