“Secretary of State Upshur lobbied a number of senators and party officials but not the key men....By doing this, he spread a wide net of support but did not risk interference by powerful men who might be opposed to the idea. He did it slowly, too, day by day, state by state. He met senators in hallways, in restaurants, and under trees.” — William Penn
