"
You
hate
and
fear
the
socialists
,
"
he
remarked
to
Mr
.
Morse
,
one
evening
at
dinner
;
"
but
why
?
You
know
neither
them
nor
their
doctrines
.
"
The
conversation
had
been
swung
in
that
direction
by
Mrs
.
Morse
,
who
had
been
invidiously
singing
the
praises
of
Mr
.
Hapgood
.
The
cashier
was
Martin
’
s
black
beast
,
and
his
temper
was
a
trifle
short
where
the
talker
of
platitudes
was
concerned
.
"
Yes
,
"
he
had
said
,
"
Charley
Hapgood
is
what
they
call
a
rising
young
man
—
somebody
told
me
as
much
.
And
it
is
true
.
He
’
ll
make
the
Governor
’
s
Chair
before
he
dies
,
and
,
who
knows
?
maybe
the
United
States
Senate
.
"
"
What
makes
you
think
so
?
"
Mrs
.
Morse
had
inquired
.
"
I
’
ve
heard
him
make
a
campaign
speech
.
It
was
so
cleverly
stupid
and
unoriginal
,
and
also
so
convincing
,
that
the
leaders
cannot
help
but
regard
him
as
safe
and
sure
,
while
his
platitudes
are
so
much
like
the
platitudes
of
the
average
voter
that
—
oh
,
well
,
you
know
you
flatter
any
man
by
dressing
up
his
own
thoughts
for
him
and
presenting
them
to
him
.
"
"
I
actually
think
you
are
jealous
of
Mr
.
Hapgood
,
"
Ruth
had
chimed
in
.
"
Heaven
forbid
!
"
The
look
of
horror
on
Martin
’
s
face
stirred
Mrs
.
Morse
to
belligerence
.
"
You
surely
don
’
t
mean
to
say
that
Mr
.
Hapgood
is
stupid
?
"
she
demanded
icily
.
"
No
more
than
the
average
Republican
,
"
was
the
retort
,
"
or
average
Democrat
,
either
.
They
are
all
stupid
when
they
are
not
crafty
,
and
very
few
of
them
are
crafty
.
The
only
wise
Republicans
are
the
millionnaires
and
their
conscious
henchmen
.
They
know
which
side
their
bread
is
buttered
on
,
and
they
know
why
.
