Plunkitt of Tammany Hall

CHAPTER 17
1/7

.

Tammany's Patriotism.
TAMMANY's the most patriotic organization on earth, notwithstandin' the fact that the civil service law is sappin' the foundations of patriotism all over the country.

Nobody pays any attention to the Fourth of July any longer except Tammany and the small boy.

When the Fourth comes, the reformers, with Revolutionary names parted in the middle, run off to Newport or the Adirondacks to get out of the way of the noise and everything that reminds them of the glorious day.

How different it is with Tammany! The very constitution of the Tammany Society requires that we must assemble at the wigwam on the Fourth, regardless of the weather, and listen to the readin' of the Declaration of Independence and patriotic speeches.
You ought to attend one of these meetin's.
