His paper had printed an "expose" of Kalloch, who struck back with bitter personal denunciation of his editorial foes. "It's a nasty mess," Francisco said disgustedly. "Broderick used to tell my father that politics had always been a rascal's paradise because decent men wouldn't run for office nor vote half of the time.... I'm going to write an article about it for The Overland.
And we've three hundred dollars in the bank." "Ah, yes," said the mother, fondly. "Maizie's a brave girl and a thrifty one. We're comfortable and independent, even though the rich grind down the poor." Her eyes lighted. "Wait till Kalloch is elected ... then we'll see better times, I'll warrant." Robert was too courteous to express his doubts. Later he discussed the situation with Francisco.
"I beg your pardon," he was breathless, half astounded by his own temerity. "But can I be of any ah service?" "Puppy!" stormed the elder man and stalked out haughtily. The girl's eyes encountered Robert's, shining, grateful for an instant. Then they fell. Her face grew grave. "You shouldn't have ... really.... That was Isaac J. Kalloch."

Prominent among these were P.B. Plumb, I.S. Kalloch, Judge T.C. Sears and C.V. Eskridge.
I look upon death as the most unimportant moment of life, and believe that not half the responsibility is attached to dying that is to living properly. This Rev. Mr. Kalloch is a baptist. He has a right to be a baptist. The first baptist, though was a heretic; but it is among the wonders that when a heretic gets fifteen or twenty to join him he suddenly begins to be orthodox.
"Oh, the preacher that's running for Mayor," Robert's tone was abashed. "But I don't care," he added, "I'm glad I did." Once again the girl's eyes met his, shyly. "So am I," she whispered. Isaac S. Kalloch was the labor candidate for mayor. People said he was the greatest pulpit orator in San Francisco since Starr King.
