11/18 Here was a man who knew Kenneth, believed in him and was going to vote for him. She had a nice talk with the hardware man, and he gave her much useful information about the most important people in the neighborhood--those it would be desirable to win for their candidate. When he mentioned Thompson, she said: "Oh, he's impossible. I've talked with him." "Thompson is really a good Republican," replied Mr.Andrews, the hardware man. "But he's under Hopkins's thumb and doesn't dare defy him." "Doesn't he like Mr.Hopkins ?" asked Patsy, in surprise. |
