In this American novel from 1905, Jimmy Grayson, an almost unknown young lawyer from the West, is unexpectedly chosen as his party's candidate for President of the United States. Harley, a reporter for a New York newspaper, follows his campaign aboard a special train, and falls for Sylvia, the candidate's niece, an independent young woman from Idaho.
But powerful financiers in the party want Grayson to keep quiet about tariffs. A lively account of what goes on behind the scenes of an election campaign, and of the price of honesty in politics.
Its dialogue and travel scenes are easy to read in the language you are learning.
