Buck Possenden warns Sayler about consequences of opposing Dominick as reform momentum surfaces in Jackson County. Sayler wins a reform canvass amid business opposition but loses re election to Dominick backed by the Power Trust, revealing the hollow power of money in local politics. Edward Ramsay offers a potential bench seat through Roebuck’s influence, while Sayler contemplates personal and financial ruin and a distant plan with Elizabeth Crosby.
