Summary:
The narrative jumps forward to "three years ago," when Clarence Snopes turns down the invitation to run for "Lieutenant-Governor" and reveals his ultimate ambition: election to the federal government (132). At this point a "handful" (132) of voters, including the narrator, feel "shock and horror," "dread and fear" at that prospect (133).
