they were adequate...
...that you don't need a 4-lane
highway for a horse and buggy.
When Stark boasts of his great
school system, his critics say:
"You can't go to school
and work fields at the same time."
They question the benefit
of these projects...
...charging that need and poverty
is as great as before.
Willie Stark has never forgotten
the source of his power:
The people who supported him.
He still keeps his touch
with these people of the backwoods...
...making periodic trips
to such places as Kanoma City...
...now famous as his birthplace.
For those who say Stark
is a man of destiny...
...there are others who claim
that he is evil.
A man who cares neither
for the people or the state...
...but only for his own
personal power and ambition.
Obviously, these ambitions go
far beyond the state's boundaries.
Just how far,
only time will tell.
Meanwhile, he is here.
From the looks of things,
he is here to stay.
Willie Stark.
Messiah or dictator?
How do you like it?
- How Many theaters will play this?
- All over.
Hear that?
All over the country.
There's one thing I didn't like.
That "Messiah or the dictator."
That's our view.
That's the way it stands.
That's the way it stands
as of now.
How are you Making it, Pa?
How are you, ToM?
I Made soMe refreshMents.
- I'll get theM.
- I'll help.
No, thank you.
Thank you kindly.
The boys have to get back
to Make the Morning editions.
Set theM up on the porch.
We'll take pictures here first.
Mrs. Stark.
Take one down there.
Shoot it up this way.
You're still a great cook.
I better be getting back to town.
Nice to have spent the day
with the faMily.
Goodbye.
Take care, Pappy.
How do you like
the new radio I got you?
You can get police calls on it.
I'll show you.
This one for police calls.
Car 62, proceed to 518 Oak Street.
Tom Jones is beating his wife again.
- Car 62, proceed to 518 Oak Street.
- Now this one, go ahead.
We interrupt this
for a special announcement.
Today, the body of Richard Hale,
father of the girl who died...
...in the governor's son's car,
was found.
A medical examination revealed
he was beaten to death.
The charge of murder...
...has been hurled
at the administration...
...by Stark's opponents,
led by Judge Stanton...
...lately an outspoken critic...
Your friend, the judge.
Thus an almost forgotten incident
provided the spark that might set off...
...the explosion needed to rock
Willie Stark out of power.
The latest report says impeachment
proceedings may be institut...
How long will it take to pack?
CoMe to the city with Me.
- Why?
- Because I need you.
- What for?
- I'll explain later.
- I'll wait outside.
- Stay. I want you to witness this.
She can bear witness too.
- I'M going back to get Duffy.
- You stay right here.
SoMebody's got to go back
to the capital.
I'll go.
Tell Duffy not to do anything
until I'M there.
Now that he's in trouble,
he needs us.
He can lead us around like Monkeys
and say, "Feel sorry for Me...
...a faMily Man with a wife
and a crippled son!"
Shut up!
- Why don't you leave us alone?
- Leave hiM alone?
How Many scrapes
have I gotten hiM out of?
Stop!
It's not hiM they're after.
It's Me.
How Many half-wits
Must I pay to square this?
What do you think this will cost Me?
What do you think it cost hiM?
A Man builds for his son.
That's all he builds for.
Give Me a drink.
She'll go.
No good.
No good.
Mr. Speaker!
I offer a house resolution:
Whereas Willie Stark...
...governor of the state...

- What's the score?
- They're lined up against you solid.
Were you there?
- What would I be doing there?
- Selling Me out.
- How Many votes have we got?
- Eleven.
- We need 20.
