The Cardinal and the Railroad Kings of Lacedaemon
Pat O'Brien dominates Lacedaemon's politics and finances until Joe Dale, owner of the railroad and Daily Planet, ousts him after a franchise clash. Dale uses pressure, a bought press, and market tricks to crush O'Brien, who ends up $750,000 poorer but stubbornly retains control of the town.
