Hey, Jack Burden!
The boss wants to see you.
Jack, ever hear of a fellow
called Willie Stark?
No, whod he shoot?
ltll be the other way around
if he keeps it up.
Hes got the boys in the
Kanoma County courthouse worried.
Politician?
Whats he running for?
County treasurer
or something like that.
Whats so special about him?
They say hes an honest man.
-l want you to hop into your car.
-You promised me a vacation.
That can wait.
But theres a girl l know.
She can wait too.
The question is, can l?
And the answer is, get up there.
Right.
What did you say his name was?
The fellows name.
Stark. Willie Stark.
I found him in Kanoma City.
A typicaI, hot, dusty,
backwoods county seat.
--lie in order to line their own
dirty pockets with taxpayers money.
When have Kanoma citizens ever
witnessed a campaign like this?
Why is the opposition
so anxious to defeat me?
Why have they used every dirty method
to make sure lm not elected treasurer?
lll tell you why.
Theyre afraid of the truth.
And the truth is this:
Theyre trying to steal your money.
Yeah, l said steal.
The commissioners rejected
the low bid on the schoolhouse.
Why?
Theyll say that
the job will be done better.
They would have you believe
theyre interested in public welfare.
Theyre interested in welfare, sure.
But its their own.
Lets look at their reason
in the light of the facts.
That factorys owned by
a brother-in-law of a commissioner.
That same brick factory
uses convict labor.
Sorry, Willie,
youll have to move on.
Why?
City Ordinance Number 1 05.
More than five people congregating
is disturbing the peace.
lf you folks will read
these handbills...
...my boy will pass them out among you.
Theres an ordinance
against that too.
Pass them out, Tom.
-Let him alone.
-Get that camera!
Willie, youre under arrest.
Where can l find Tiny Duffy?
Right over there, mister.
They told me l could get
my camera back here.
Who told you that?
People. Can l?
You the reporter thats been
snooping around town?
Are you Tiny Duffy?
What paper?
ChronicIe.
You come a long way to stick your nose
into other peoples business.
True, only my boss
on the paper cant see that.
lt aint any of his business either.
-Whose business is it?
-Them as thats tending to it.
County commissioners
the voters of Kanoma elected...
...to tend their business
and not take no butting in.
You a commissioner?
Names Pillsbury.
Dolph Pillsbury.
Me too.
lm a commissioner too.
Who isnt a commissioner?
Hes the head man.
Youre in a position to know--
ln a position to know nothing
and to say nothing.
l thought you said he was head man?
He uses my head.
Tiny, youre a card!
Aint he a card?
Hes a card.
Who thought up ordinances about
arresting someone for making a speech?
Whos arrested?
Aint nobody arrested.
Hi, Willie.
Did you apologize to Willie?
l apologized to Willie.
-Did you give him his handbills?
-l gave them back.
And give him back
his flag and his bag.
And give this man his camera.
lll be on that street
tomorrow, Mr. Duffy.
You go right ahead.
We all believe in free speech.
We got to.
lts in the Constitution.
My boy is distributing
those handbills now.
lts a free country, Willie.
lf you can convince people
to vote for you...
...you go right ahead.
What did you want to see me about?
l wanted you to meet a fella...
...that came all the way up
from the state capital to meet you.
A reporter.
Wants to write you up.
Maybe put your picture in the paper.
lm happy to know you.
Burdens my name. Jack Burden.
Can we go somewhere and talk?
That aint polite.
Dont you want to hear
both sides of the story?
l know your side.
Wheres the slate
your men took from my camera?
Must have dropped out.
Come on, fellas, lets relax.
lts a hot day.
Hey, Sugar Boy!
Bring some cold beer for the boys.
None for me.
Thank you kindly.
You know Willie dont drink, Tiny.
His wife dont favor drinking.
And Willies the teachers pet,
aint you?
lll have orange pop,
if you dont mind.
Orange pop?
All right, Sugar Boy.
Bring him some orange pop.
The pop, sir, is sold out.
Did you hear that, boys?
The p-p-pop is sold out.
Now aint he a card?
He stutters, Mr. Duffy.
But you dont say anything.
Lets go, mister.
This is my wife, Lucy, Mr. Burden.
-How do you do?
-Thats my pa.
Now well talk.
Youve been talking for a long time.
Willies got a lot to say.
You sleepy, Pappy?
You want a nap?
l want to hear it.
lm worried about Tom.
lts getting dark.
He should have been home.
Hes a strong boy.
He can take care of himself.
-How old is the boy?
-Fifteen.
How long have you been married?
Nine years.
He was a neighbors boy.
They were poor folks.
Both died.
l couldnt have any children so....
-Hes a good boy.
-Hes the best.
l couldnt love him more
if he was my own flesh and blood.
And now you, Mrs. Stark.
There isnt very much
to tell about me.
How did you meet?
l was teaching school.
One day, a pupil walked in.
lt was Willie.
l couldnt have a man in class,
and Willie wanted to learn badly...
...so l married him.
ls that the only reason?
Except that l l
