After this caper, the Illiterates' Organization's through, as far as any consideration or patronage from the Radicals is concerned." "Well, that's pretty nearly the best thing I've heard out of the whole business," Lancedale said.
In this second room, a Literate teacher, one of the Lancedale faction, had a reading class of twenty-five or thirty.
"... But I bought myself a pipe line into Literates' Hall big enough to chase an elephant through," Cardon went on, ignoring the interruption. "This fellow Mongery, for instance." Elliot Mongery was one of Literate Frank Cardon's best friends; he comforted his conscience with the knowledge that Mongery would slander him just as unscrupulously, if the interests of the Lancedale Plan were at stake.
Chet, this is going to be one of the great political speeches of all time " Literate William R. Lancedale looked up from his desk and greeted his visitor with a smile. "Well, Frank! Sit down and accept congratulations! I suppose you got the returns?" Cardon nodded, dropping into a chair beside the desk. "Just came from campaign headquarters.
And now, the Associated Fraternities of Literates had come to monopolize the ability to read and write, and a few men like William R. Lancedale, with a handful of followers like Ralph N.
