| Summary | "The Candidate: A Political Romance" by Joseph A. Altsheler is a fiction novel written in the early 20th century. The book explores the political landscape of America through the eyes of various characters, primarily focusing on Jimmy Grayson, a young lawyer unexpectedly nominated for the Presidency. The story deals with themes of ambition, democracy, and the changing dynamics of American political life as it delves into Grayson’s character and the support he receives from those around him. At the start of the narrative, the atmosphere is electrified with excitement as Harley, a war correspondent, witnesses the nomination of Grayson, a young and relatively unknown candidate, at a political convention. As Harley hurries to inform Grayson and his wife of the historic news, he reflects on the unique opportunities presented by American democracy. This sets the stage for the budding relationship between Harley and the Grayson family, particularly with Jimmy's strong-willed niece, Sylvia Morgan. As they embark on the campaign trail, the interaction among these pivotal figures hints at a mixture of political maneuvering and personal dynamics influenced by their respective backgrounds, highlighting the tensions and uncertainties of the political arena.
