The Changing Order — Joseph Altsheler

One man (better yet, a man and a woman) can make a difference. That seems to be the main theme of this novel.



From the EDITOR'S NOTE:



If you were a young man of wealth and leisure and wanted to learn to play the game of politics, how would

you go about it?



This is a picture, drawn true to the developments of the last two years which have shown the connection

between high finance and seemingly unimportant ward politics.



The Hero of the story is given a regular party nomination, and is groomed for the race by an astute ward leader. All surface indications prophesied his election. Instead, he was mysteriously defeated.



It is a very fascinating journey to follow him in his efforts to unravel the mystery, and to learn the methods he used in securing the utter rout of his enemies, his life's happiness being held in the balance all the time.
