"Dear Donnie, did you receive the newspapers I sent you?"
Clutching the phone, Donnie sat before a stack of America's most influential newspapers—The Washington Post, Los Angeles Times, The New York Times—all of which featured entertainment sections buzzing with news about the Miss America Pageant.
"Dear Nucky, your efficiency is really too high. I'm now starting to worry whether our pageant committee staff can arrive in those cities on time!"
Organizing the pageant committee in Atlantic City was not a difficult task for Donnie, but the real challenge lay in how to set up polling stations in other cities across America.
This was precisely why Donnie had to collaborate with Nucky, because in Atlantic City, only Nucky had the capacity to establish relationships with other cities in such a short timeframe.
Before Nucky left Atlantic City, Donnie had reached an agreement with him that they could not possibly impact the entire country with the first Miss America election.
