In "Freckles M'Grath," Susan Glaspell tells how a cheeky elevator boy was inspired to have a major effect on the plans and councils of the mighty men of power and industry. This humorous by-way in the world of politics, reflecting something of Glaspell's time as a reporter in Des Moines, was originally published with a title highlighting the outsized political effect a young enthusiast was able to cause, "Freckles McGraw: A Young Statesman's Memorable Service to the Cause of Reform," in Munsey's 31.4 (July 1904), pp. 481-6. It was later revised and included with a number of other stories by Glaspell in Lifted Masks (1912). The version here narrated by Dan Haughey is the revised version from 1912.
