Plunkitt of Tammany Hall

CHAPTER 5
3/10

Come along with your carvin' knives and have a slice." They don't pretend to ask the Goose's consent.
We don't own our streets or our docks or our waterfront or anything else.

The Republican Legislature and Governor run the whole shootin' match.

We've got to eat and drink what they tell us to eat and drink, and have got to choose our time for eatin' and drinkin' to suit them.

If they don't feel like takin' a glass of beer on Sunday, we must abstain.
If they have not got any amusements up in their backwoods, we mustn't have none.

We've got to regulate our whole lives to suit them.
