Plot Summary:A dishonest political boss ruled a great state with profit to himself, until he made the mistake of nominating an honest, ambitious young man for governor. The candidate was elected, and the Boss got the surprise of his life when the executive announced that he intended to run the state himself, and did not need the help of the Boss in picking out his subordinates. Naturally he fell into disfavor with the political powers, but as the general public was satisfied, he decided that it did not matter. He failed, however, to realize that a crooked political organization stops at nothing, and the boss arranged a plot, that if successful would have ruined him beyond repair. A letter was sent to the Governor purporting to be from a man who would expose grafters who had robbed the state of millions. The writer explained that he was too much afraid to appear at the Capitol, so insisted that the Governor call upon him. The Boss figured that the Governor would fall into the trap, and enlisted the aid of an unscrupulous woman, who was ready to swear that the Governor had called to see her. Fortunately for the honest young executive, the stenographer of the Boss overheard the plot, and it shocked her. Yielding to a sudden impulse she confided in an elderly woman, who lived in the same tenement, and with whose son she was falling deeply in love. This woman urged her to inform the Governor, but the girl held back, fearing that she might be involved in the scandal herself, for she knew and feared the power of \"The Organization.\" Then as a last resort, the old woman revealed the secret to her son. He had been railroaded to prison for a crime he never committed, and being too poor to hire lawyers, seemed destined to serve out a long sentence. Finally the mother appealed to the governor, and he painstakingly investigated the case, decided that an injustice had been done, and pardoned the young man. This decided the girl and the Governor soon heard all the details of the plot. He decided to give the conspirators all the rope they wanted, and enlisted the aid of his cousin, who resembled him to a remarkable degree. Just when the Boss thought his plan had succeeded, he found that he had been tricked, and instead of ruining the Governor, was himself arrested on a charge of conspiracy and sent to prison for a long term.
