CHAPTER XVI
9/15

"We need especially good organizers.

The fight won't be over to-morrow.

Even if we win this time, we must organize against Vetch and defeat him once and for all in the next elections." "Then you think he is really as dangerous as the papers are trying to make him appear ?" "I think," Benham replied shortly, "that he is in it for what he can get out of it." "Well, call on me when I can help you," said Stephen, as they parted; and a minute later when he reached the pavement, he found occasion to repeat his impulsive offer to Judge Horatio Lancaster Page.
"I've promised Benham that I'll do all I can to help him defeat Vetch." "You're right," returned the Judge, with his smile of discerning irony.
"I suppose we're obliged to fight him." "If we don't what will happen ?" "That's what I'd like to see, my boy.

I'd give ten years full measure and running over to see exactly what would happen." "Benham is afraid his crowd may send him to the Senate." "Perhaps, but there is always a chance of their sending him to Jericho instead." Stephen nodded.

"Yes, there's trouble already, I believe, over this strike." The Judge laughed with a note of cynical humour.
