Hearts and Politics (1910)
John Daly has been nominated for mayor on the reform ticket. The Machine, grown bold with a false sense of security, has exceeded all bounds and Atwood, the Boss, knows that his only hope is to tangle the reformers, He sends word to Sylvia Hartley that she must get Daly out of the way and Sylvia smiles contentedly. Reformers are little versed in the wiles of professional politics and fall easy prey, A pretended accident in front of Daly's home as he is ascending the steps furnishes the excuse for an introduction the more piquant because of its unconventionality and soon Daly is madly infatuated with the pretty politician. She artfully encourages his hopes while she makes no definite promise and a couple of weeks before the election she declares that she will not consent to marry him unless he will agree to give up politics. He assents and for a moment it looks as though the reform ticket would have no head, but in her haste to acquaint Atwood with her triumph Sylvia writes a note in Daly's office and does not know that she is using the top sheet of a carbon block. There are transfer sheets beneath and the letter is reproduced several times. These are found by May Belding, Daly's secretary, who is very much in love with her employer, and when the news of Daly's election comes he asks May in share his honors with him.All Releases
