Franklin Drew.
Franklin Drew was a North American political journalist and author based in Burgoyne. Sobel draws upon his accounts of the 1923 and 1928 Grand Council elections: The Guard Changeth: The Elections of 1923 (New York, 1931), and The Guard is Confirmed: The Elections of 1928 (New York, 1933) in chapter 27, "The Dewey Era."
Sobel quotes Drew's description of the leading figures in the People's Coalition from the second book, where Drew describes former Governor-General Calvin Wagner as "a decent and fairly intelligent man who unfortunately has the appearance of a contented hog." Drew goes on to say that "Governor Elbert Childs of the Northern Confederation has the faint aura of a circus-master, while N.C. Councilman Frank Evans, the party's most attractive candidate, manages to alienate potential supporters by his automatic opposition to every Dewey program."
