Plunkitt of Tammany Hall

CHAPTER 6
5/11

The Citizens' Union kind of a young man! I love him! He's the daintiest morsel of the lot, and he don't often escape me.
Before telling you how I catch him, let me mention that before the election last year, the Citizens' Union said they had four hundred or five hundred enrolled voters in my district.

They had a lovely headquarters, too, beautiful roll-top desks and the cutest rugs in the world.

If I was accused of havin' contributed to fix up the nest for them, I wouldn't deny it under oath.

What do I mean by that?
Never mind.
You can guess from the sequel, if you're sharp.
