[Plunkitt of Tammany Hall by George Washington Plunkitt]@TWC D-Link bookPlunkitt of Tammany Hall CHAPTER 18 9/9
These workers are mostly men who want to serve their country but can't get jobs in the city departments on account of the civil service law.
They do the next best thing by keepin' track of the voters and seem' that they come to the polls and vote the right way.
Some of these deservin' citizens have to make enough on registration and election days to keep them the rest of the year.
Isn't it right that they should get a share of the campaign money? Just remember that there's thirty-five Assembly districts in New York County, and thirty-six district leaders reachin' out for the Tammany dough-bag for somethin' to keep up the patriotism of ten thousand workers, and you wouldn't wonder that the cry for more, more, is goin' up from every district organization now and forevermore.
Amen..
