I'm not speakin' of Tammany Hall alone, remember! It's the same with the Republican Federal and State officeholders, and every organization that has or has had jobs to give out--except, of course, the Citizens' Union.

The Cits held office only a couple of years and, knowin' that they would never be in again, each Cit officeholder held on for dear life to every dollar that came his way.
Some people say they can't understand what becomes of all the money that's collected for campaigns.

They would understand fast enough if they were district lead-em.

There's never been half enough money to go around.

Besides the expenses for meetin's, bands and all that, there's the bigger bill for the district workers who get men to the polls.
