A well-rounded story

A strong three-reel political number, with King Baggot and Leah Baird in the leads. Mr. Baggot makes an interesting figure as the upright young country politician just entering the senate in Washington. The gang of corrupt politicians pick him for a victim, but fail. Then they employ a bewitching female lobbyist to ensnare him. Jim fails in love with her, but she never betrays him, as her heart is won by a visit to his old home. Mrs. Allan Walker appears as the mother. This is a well-rounded story, convincingly acted and well photographed throughout. The scenes toward the close get up good suspense. A strong offering. - The Moving Picture World, August 29, 1914
