About this Item

Black boards with orange design of a crowd raising signs. Orange titling on spine is faded but book is tight, square and free of blemishes and flaws, inside and out, other than prior owners signature inside front cover. Account of the career of mayor Frank Hague of Jersey City and a study of bossism in local and state politics. Hague has a widely known reputation for corruption and bossism and has been called "the grandaddy of Jersey bosses". By the time he left office in 1947, he enjoyed palatial homes, European vacations, and a private suite at the Plaza Hotel. His wealth has been estimated to have been over $10 million at the time of his death, although his City salary never exceeded $8,500 per year and he had no other legitimate source of income.
