Photoplay (Jul-Dec 1922)

Photoplay Magazine — Advertising Section Our Leading Citizen (Continued from page 35) ing craft advertised to all the world that the candidate for Congress on the independent ticket was going far, far away, if the gasoline and the motor held out. Meanwhile Oglesby and de Mott were wasting no moments. Before the flush of anger had died out of their cheeks, it was chased out by a flush of gratification, when Bragdon, summoned to Fendle's office, quickly signed the undertaking that Dan had rejected. A telephone message to the Courier ordered that great moral daily to flop as quickly and as gracefully as the editor knew how, from the support of Dan Bentley to that of Bragdon. The machine was working in its most efficient manner, grinding the independent candidate into mincemeat. WHEN the conspirators heard that Bentley had been seen chugging down the river, a camping outfit in his boat, and Cale Higginson grinning happily at the tiller, Sam de Mott had another inspiration, and he was cold sober at that. "Now's the time to challenge him to a debate," he suggested to Oglesby and Bragdon. "He's sore about something, and he won't stop till he's miles down stream. That tub of his can't hardly make a mile an hour against stream if he did want to come back, but like as not he's going to camp out and not come back for several days. We can drum up a big meeting for tonight, challenge him to a debate with Bragdon, and then tell the world he didn't dare show up. We've got him hog-tied, boys." "You're sure he can't get back?" Bragdon queried, nervously. "Surest thing you know. Why, that boat of his '11 hardly run with the current, let alone against it." Katherine, busy with her women's committee, heard the gossip of Dan's mysterious departure, and hurried to his office to confirm it. His stenographer told of Oglesby 's visit and Dan's rejection of the proposal. She also divulged the condition of the Bentley campaign fund. Katherine saw the situation at a glance — or enough to satisfy her as to the course necessary in the circumstances. Dan had turned Oglesby down, and left the city because he had no means to carry on his battle. Oglesby had switched to Bragdon, and was taking every advantage of the situation. By this time the Courier had its extra out, with the news of Blagdon's challenge to a debate and the insinuation that Bentley had quit and dared not face the issues of the campaign. Katherine bought a copy of the paper. Then she had an inspiration. After hurried instructions to the young man who was nominally managing Dan's campaign, she drove home. At dinner she told her brother she believed she would like to attend the Bragdon meeting that evening. Sam de Mott had done his work well. There wasn't a corner of Wingfield that did not know about the challenge Bragdon had hurled so manfully at Bentley. The fact that Bentley was out of town before the hurling was done, was carefully ignored. So the biggest hall in Wingfield was filled with citizens anxious to hear a spirited battle, most of them believing that Dan would pretty near scalp Bragdon on account of the insinuations made in the Courier. It promised to be a triumphant evening for the Oglesby-de Mott-Bragdon coalition. As they watched the crowd gather, they looked at each other with wise smiles. Katherine sat beside her brother, expectant and nervous, as the minutes slipped past. Finally de Mott, the chairman of the meeting, rose, and rapped with his gavel, calling the meeting to order. "You have seen the announcements of the reason for this meeting," he said, in his best platform manner. "One of the candidates is here — the Honorable Cyrus Blagdon.
