The trial of an official of the United Railways began. Meanwhile the politicians rallied for election. Schmitz had been elected at the end of 1905. His term, which Dr.
"Been doing good business, Mr. Schmitz?" inquired the Justice, smiling. "Judging from appearances, one might think so." "Oh, fairly good," replied the Collector. "There is a rich blessing hidden in the dear earth.
He said good evening and thought he'd look in my ice chest. My heart did flutter, but I knew I was safe. I had scrubbed and polished that ice chest till it creaked and groaned the Saturday night before. The brass parts were blinding. But there was too much food in it for that hour of the night. He called Schmitz—Schmitz was abject reverence and acquiescence.
Francisco could not help reflecting that Ruef had borrowed a very fine presence indeed. Ruef asked Francisco to his table. He talked a great deal about politics. Schmitz listened open-eyed; Stanley more astutely. All at once Ruef leaned toward Francisco. "What do you think of Mr. Schmitz as a candidate for Mayor?" he asked.

As Schmitz's pernicketyness became during the next days more and more impossible to ignore, I solaced my harassed feelings with the thought of how much it must mean to Mrs. Schmitz to be away from Mr. Schmitz and his temperament and disposition for three blessed months.

Bribery would land them in the penitentiary." The girl leaned forward. "Ah, this isn't ordinary bribery. Anyone that wants a franchise or a license hires Ruef as his attorney.
And it's true that if the labor men effect a real organization they may name the next Mayor. Rather a disturbing situation." "Have you heard any talk about a man named Schmitz? A labor candidate?" "Yes, I think I have. The chap's a fiddler in a theater orchestra. Big, fine looking. But I can't imagine that he has the brains to make a winning fight." "Big! Fine looking! Hm!" repeated Stanley.
Schmitz was freed on a technicality, after being found guilty and sentenced to five years. Most of the other indictments were not tried, the prosecutor's attention having been diverted to the trail of the franchise-seekers, who have thus far eluded conviction.
Says he meant an order of Philadelphia cream cheese.” If he and Schmitz could only have gotten mixed a bit in the original kneading.... By Saturday of that week I began my diary: “Goodness!
