When you first meet Tiny Duffy, he is Willie Stark\'s lieutenant governor, the second in command of the state. Later you discover that he was one of the men who deceived Willie during Willie\'s first campaign for governor. Willie, however, wooed Tiny away from another political camp and made Tiny his chief lackey. Tiny has no loyalty to any political faction--he seeks his own selfish interests and will grovel, if that\'s what it takes, to maintain a position in state government. But Tiny should not be underestimated; he is a dangerous man. So, like Jack, you may wonder why Willie has raised Tiny to such a powerful place in state politics.
