President Edward Bates

• President in: Tripod Worship, the second volume of Nora Cummings' Tripod Trilogy
• Born in a world where the Martian invaders of H. G. Wells' The War of the Worlds proved resistant to Earth microbes and have ruled the world for over a century. Born to a physicist father and from a young age trained in science at the secret Underground Harvard, hidden in deep tunnels under the Rocky Mountains. Realizes that efforts to duplicate the Martian heat ray are futile, as the task is far beyond the resources available to the hidden resisting humans. However, he finds an alternative which is possible - a shield protecting against the heat ray. Protected by such shields, human artillery can be brought into play and destroy the Martians' Tripod Fighting Machine. The Martians, having grown complacent, are swiftly destroyed in large parts of North America, and submarines are sent to share the secret with Resistance groups in Europe, China and South Africa. Having no military talent, Bates left the fighting for those more qualified for it, but in the aftermath showed an enormous administrative and political talent. The Resisters, coming into the open, were virtually unanimous in accepting him as Provisional President, pending the time when elections could be held. This proved far longer and more difficult than the Resisters thought, when dreaming of Liberation from the Martians. First, they had to contend with Gerald The Fat and Camburcio the Green Egg, two leaders of the collaborator militia which was set up by the Martians, who used to hunt other humans for the Martians' consumption and get richly rewarded for it. Deeply hated and knowing that they could expect nothing but summary execution, the two and their followers kept fighting for several years before being finally subdued. Even then, there was the problem of Tripod Worship, the religion created by the Martians at the advice of their human collaborators. In Tripod Worship, the Martians were worshiped as gods, and having one's blood drained by them was considered a Holy Act, ensuring one of Eternal Bliss. To his chagrin, Bates discovered that Tripod Worship was still very much alive in various parts of the country, and that its followers hated Bates as a Profaner, Desecrator and God-killer, and were fervently praying for the Martians' return. In some places, it was possible to get rid of the cult - but there were big enclaves where it was deeply rooted, especially in the Pacific Northwest, the Southwest, the Deep South, The Ozarks and the Appalachians. At a special session in the Provisional White House - actually, a well-preserved pre-Martian farm house in Kansas - Bates firmly vetoed the idea of militarily conquering these enclaves and forcibly rooting out Tripod Worship. Not only would it drain much of the resources needed to rebuild the country, it would be morally corrosive and destroy any chance of the United States becoming a democracy again. The fledgling provisional government would be thrust into the role of a religious persecutor, forbidding people to practice a religion they believed in, however unpalatable; the more determined the government in seeking to uproot Tripod Worship, the more martyrs it would create. Much better, rather, for these enclaves to be left alone for the time being, for later generations to deal with and hopefully re-integrate them with a minimum of violence. "Our immediate task is with the ordinary people, just emerging from a century of horror - those not caught up in this vile cult. Even they need very much patient education" he said. "I estimate at least ten years, more likely fifteen or twenty, before people understand democracy and can hold elections and we have a Congress which can examine the Old Constitution and decide how much of it we should keep and what we need to amend. And I hope that when Presidential elections are held, an opposing candidate will emerge to defeat me by a landslide. That will be my greatest victory!"
