The
governor
had
never
seen
him
before
.
Cowperwood
entered
brisk
,
fresh
,
forceful
.
He
was
as
crisp
as
a
new
dollar
bill
--
as
clean
,
sharp
,
firmly
limned
.
"
Governor
Swanson
,
I
believe
?
"
"
Yes
,
sir
.
"
The
two
were
scrutinizing
each
other
defensively
.
"
I
am
Mr.
Cowperwood
.
I
come
to
have
a
very
few
words
with
you
.
I
will
take
very
little
of
your
time
.
I
do
not
wish
to
go
over
any
of
the
arguments
that
have
been
gone
over
before
.
I
am
satisfied
that
you
know
all
about
them
.
"
"
Yes
,
I
had
a
talk
with
Judge
Dickensheets
yesterday
.
"
"
Just
so
,
Governor
.
Knowing
all
that
you
do
,
permit
me
to
put
one
more
matter
before
you
.
I
know
that
you
are
,
comparatively
,
a
poor
man
--
that
every
dollar
you
have
is
at
present
practically
tied
in
this
building
.
I
know
of
two
places
where
you
have
applied
for
a
loan
of
one
hundred
thousand
dollars
and
have
been
refused
because
you
have
n't
sufficient
security
to
offer
outside
of
this
building
,
which
is
mortgaged
up
to
its
limit
as
it
stands
.
The
men
,
as
you
must
know
,
who
are
fighting
you
are
fighting
me
.
I
am
a
scoundrel
because
I
am
selfish
and
ambitious
--
a
materialist
.
You
are
not
a
scoundrel
,
but
a
dangerous
person
because
you
are
an
idealist
.
Whether
you
veto
this
bill
or
not
,
you
will
never
again
be
elected
Governor
of
Illinois
if
the
people
who
are
fighting
me
succeed
,
as
they
will
succeed
,
in
fighting
you
.
"
Swanson
's
dark
eyes
burned
illuminatively
.
He
nodded
his
head
in
assent
.
"
Governor
,
I
have
come
here
this
morning
to
bribe
you
,
if
I
can
.
I
do
not
agree
with
your
ideals
;
in
the
last
analysis
I
do
not
believe
that
they
will
work
.
I
am
sure
I
do
not
believe
in
most
of
the
things
that
you
believe
in
.
Life
is
different
at
bottom
perhaps
from
what
either
you
or
I
may
think
.
Just
the
same
,
as
compared
with
other
men
,
I
sympathize
with
you
.
I
will
loan
you
that
one
hundred
thousand
dollars
and
two
or
three
or
four
hundred
thousand
dollars
more
besides
if
you
wish
.
You
need
never
pay
me
a
dollar
--
or
you
can
if
you
wish
.
Suit
yourself
.
In
that
black
bag
which
Judge
Dickensheets
brought
here
yesterday
,
and
which
is
in
your
safe
,
is
three
hundred
thousand
dollars
in
cash
.
He
did
not
have
the
courage
to
mention
it
.
Sign
the
bill
and
let
me
beat
the
men
who
are
trying
to
beat
me
.
I
will
support
you
in
the
future
with
any
amount
of
money
or
influence
that
I
can
bring
to
bear
in
any
political
contest
you
may
choose
to
enter
,
state
or
national
.
"
Cowperwood
's
eyes
glowed
like
a
large
,
genial
collie
's
.
There
was
a
suggestion
of
sympathetic
appeal
in
them
,
rich
and
deep
,
and
,
even
more
than
that
,
a
philosophic
perception
of
ineffable
things
.
Swanson
arose
.
"
You
really
do
n't
mean
to
say
that
you
are
trying
to
bribe
me
openly
,
do
you
?
"
he
inquired
.
In
spite
of
a
conventional
impulse
to
burst
forth
in
moralistic
denunciation
,
solemnly
phrased
,
he
was
compelled
for
the
moment
to
see
the
other
man
's
viewpoint
.
They
were
working
in
different
directions
,
going
different
ways
,
to
what
ultimate
end
?
