“The book as it now stands is an admirable treatise on concrete as a material, but must be taken in connection with some reference book of design and construction to make a complete survey of the field of what may be called concrete engineering.”

Two men contend for political supremacy in their state and for the love of the heroine, in this political romance. One is the old Senator, the boss of his state, and the girl he loves is his daughter. The other is a young man of rigid principles who has been elected governor, whose growing power with the people menaces the older man’s prestige, and whose manly courage bids fair to supplant him as first in his daughter’s heart. The contest is bitterly fought, until honesty and youth and love triumph.
“Though the element of improbability is at times present, the book as a whole is very true to life, and as a present-day political study it ranks with the best romances of recent years.”
