Plunkitt of Tammany Hall

CHAPTER 14
3/6

You don't have to pay for advertisin' in the papers.

The New York papers tumble over one another to give columns to any new organization that comes out against Tammany.
In describin' the formation of a "Democracy" on the $50 basis, accordin' to the items I give, the papers would say somethin' like this: "The organization of the Delicatessen Democracy last night threatens the existence of Tammany Hall.

It is a grand move for a new and pure Democracy in this city.

Well may the Tammany leaders be alarmed; panic has already broke loose in Fourteenth Street.

The vast crowd that gathered at the launching of the new organization, the stirrin' speeches and the proclamation of principles mean that, at last, there is an uprisin' that will end Tammany's career of corruption.
