CHAPTER TEN
Hank Johnson, Chuck Foster, Dr. Crookman and Gorman Gay, National Chairman of the Republican National Committee, sat in the physician's hotel suite conversing in low tones.
"We're having a tough time getting ready for the Fall campaign," said Gay. "Unfortunately our friends are not contributing with their accustomed liberality."
"Can't complain about us, can you?" asked Foster.
"No, no," the politician denied quickly. "You have been most liberal in the past two years, but then we have done many favors for you, too."
"Yuh sho right, Gay," Hank remarked. "Dem crackahs mighta put us outa business efen it hadn' bin fo' th' admin'strations suppo't."
"I'm quite sure we deeply appreciate the many favors we've received from the present administration," added Dr. Crookman.
"We won't need it much longer, though," said Chuck Foster.
"How's that?" asked Gay, opening his half-closed eyes.
