Now he was dead, but remembered well, and as a presidential campaign costs much money legitimate money and his son was a prodigal giver, the leaders could not refuse to the younger Heathcote the place of national committeeman from his state. "What do you think of it?" asked Harley, at last. "I refuse to think," replied Hobart. "I shall merely wait and see."
He was no committeeman but simply a member of the throng. "Yo' sand a spickair to my dock," he said. "Pier feefty-two East Reever. I t'ink he make de boys come out." He sat down breathing heavily. "You don't need any speaker, go yourself," an Irishman called from across the hall. "I no spick," said the Pole emphatically. "You're spicking now, ain't you?"
In the fall his party selected a new ward committeeman, and though Markley had been treasurer of the committee for a dozen years, his successor was named from the Worthington bank, and they had the grace not to come to Markley with the subscription-paper asking for money.
Wasgatt turned to him after a rapid scrutiny of the make-up of the party. "I'd like to have the resolutions read," remarked the General, quietly. "Go ahead, Wasgatt," commanded Presson; and the committeeman advanced to the table under the chandelier and began to read. The preamble was after the usual stereotyped form; the first sections endorsed the cardinal principles of the party, and Mr.
It might have been because the band was playing too loudly; it might have been because General Waymouth's visage, grave, stern, almost forbidding, rather dampened the recent cordiality of the gathering. When Committeeman Wasgatt came into the room in tow of Harlan Thornton he found silence prevailing there. It was silence that was marked by a little restraint. The band outside was quiet now.
Harley flushed at his patronizing tone, and for a moment he was tempted to thrust him out of his way and proceed with his errand to Jimmy Grayson's room, but he reflected that it was better to let the committeeman make the rope for his own hanging, and he turned away with a quiet, "Very well, I shall forego the interview."
There were several shoe shops in the village, each employing from one to three boys, varying in age from fifteen to nineteen. Why could he not form a private class, to meet in the evening, to be instructed in advanced arithmetic, or, if desired, in Latin and Greek? He broached the idea to Stephen Bates, the prudential committeeman. "I don't know," said Mr. Bates, "what our boys will think of it.
One of the side lights of the great drama that is being enacted is the sentiment that develops for the Committee of Forty. Memorial societies in the states from which the several committeemen hailed, are formed to give the martyrs, as the forty are now called, a decent burial. Thirty-nine of the martyrs are thus honored by public interment. The one missing committeeman is William Nevins.
If you appreciate your Americanism, young man, show it by being a part of American institutions. Be one of these precinct committeemen, or a county committeeman, or a state committeeman, or a worker of some kind. If you do not, a bad man will; and that will mean bad politics and bad government. You see, this whole question of good government is right up to you.
"Oh, for that matter I'll give it to you," the committeeman replied. "We've bought another for the schoolhouse." A day or two after the old clock ticked away as soberly as ever on the wall of the Todd kitchen. "Took it home and boiled it in potash," Eph used to say; "and there it is, just as good as it was thirty years ago."
