hwp Senator Samuel Foley died a minute ago
here at St Vincents.
At the bedside was political sidekick
Senator Joseph Paine.
Senator Joseph Paine speaking. I want
the Governors residence, Jackson City.
Hello?
Oh, Joe! Oh no!
It couldnt have happened at a worse
time. Tell Jim Taylor Im coming home.
- Yes, Joe. Right away.
- What is it?
Sam Foleys dead. Of all times...
Foley had to go and die on us.
- Who are you calling this late?
- Taylor, my dear.
- Whats up?
- Sam Foley died tonight.
Thats too bad.
Dont get excited. Is Paine coming?
Yes, Jim. Yes, Jim. Yes, Jim.
Hed drop dead
if you ever said no to him.
This is no time forjokes.
Ive got to appoint a new senator.
The Governor will see all committees.
The Governor will see all committees.
Tell the governor
I wont wait any longer.
I guess Taylors telling him what to do.
Tell them to wait.
Ill see them immediately.
Ive got to see those citizens. They
want a say in who goes to the Senate.
- Ten to one theyve got a man.
- Relax, Happy. Stop having kittens.
Tell Jim Taylor and Joe Paine they have
one more minute to make up their minds.
- You go and tell Jim Taylor.
- I will tell him.
Its high time
I told Jim Taylor a thing or two.
If you and Joell gab on about this
appointment, Ill see the committees.
- See them when were finished.
- Yes, Jim. But hurry, will you?
Well hurry.
Thats telling him, old boy.
With this Willet Creek dam coming up. -
- The man who goes to the Senate cant
ask any questions or talk out of tone.
- We have to be absolutely sure of him.
- I say Horace Miller.
Hell take orders all right.
Suppose we dont
go through with this dam?
Postpone it until next session
of Congress. Or drop it all together.
That would be a crime, Joe...
After all the work we put in on it.
Burying it in this deficiency bill
as nice as you please. -
- Having it approved. Its rolling
along... like taking candy from a baby.
Is it worth the risk of a scandal?
Whats the matter with you?
I wouldnt take the slightest risk -
- Now youve made such a great
reputation for yourself in the Senate.
Look at the campaign Ive started
for you in all of my papers
- Its a little obscure, isnt it?
- I dont know... Maybe.
But after all, youre the logical man
from the West for the national ticket.
At the convention anything can happen.
If what you say about the future is
possible, why not drop this dam?
We cant do it. Weve been quietly
buying up all the land around it.
Holding it in dummy names.
If we drop it now,
itll bring about an investigation.
It will show that we were going to sell
it to the state under phoney names.
The smartest thing for us to do is
to push it through the way its going.
All right. Appoint Miller
if you are sure he will take orders.
Dont worry. Hell take orders.
Come on.
- Just one more minute.
- Happy, weve got your man.
- Horace Miller.
- Horace Miller?!
A born stooge!
Horacell perform like a trained seal.
- What did I tell you, Joe?
- But if I throw a party man like...
For reasons I cant go into now,
it has to be Horace Miller.
Ive given you the man,
make out your ticket.
But I have to see those angry
committees first! Work for harmony!
Considering the candidates who answer to
the high qualifications of senators. -
- One name shone out like a beacon.
- The honourable Horace Miller.
- No!
- Hes Taylors stooge!
- The veteransll have no part of him!
The New Citizens Committee
wont stand for him!
So... they named their own candidate.
Who?
- You wont like him.
- Who?
- Henry Hill.
- That crackpot, that longhead!
- You should have killed that so fast.
- I couldnt. Those men...
Never mind. Forget it.
That bunch is out for blood...
I said: Forget about them.
Horace Miller goes to the Senate.
- I wont send Horace Miller.
- Oh, you wont?
No, I wont.
I wont let you stand there callously
and wreck my political future.
Your political future?
I gave it to you as a present.
I can grab it back so fast
itll make your head swim.
Youve got a nerve worrying about
your future when were in this spot.
The man is Miller.
Hello, Dad.
Is it getting you down?
- Is what getting me down?
- Youre in a pickle, Pop.
- Looks like Henry Hill or else...
- No, its Horace Miller or else!
I wouldnt appoint an old twerp
like Miller. Taylor or no Taylor.
- Whats Taylor got to do with this?
- Hes still running the show, aint he?
I wont have this conversation
carried on by the children.
Wont you listen to them for a change?
No doubt my children
could make this appointment.
- Thats easy, Dad. Jefferson Smith!
- Hes the only senator to have.
- He ought to be president.
- I like Jeff Smith.
- Me too.
- Now everybodys been heard from.
Forgive my ignorance, but I dont
know him from a hole in the ground.
- Head of the Boy Rangers.
- A boy?
No, Jeffs a man. Biggest expert we got
on wild game, animals and rocks.
Right now hes the greatest hero.
Its all over the headlines.
Didnt you see about the forest fire
all around Sweetwater?
Jeff put that out. Himself.
- If you really want a se
