Reed Summary At the start of the 20th century, when Detroit was governed by essentially honest, reform-minded mayors like Hazen Pingree, some American cities such as New York were run by scoundrels and charlatans like George Washington Plunkitt. His vehicle was the notorious Tammany Hall, a vast political machine that held power through a patronage-fed bureaucracy. Tammany Hall bilked citizens out of millions of dollars and used its political power to secure its place and put everybody else in theirs.

65. George F. Will: Deregulating Politics Clinton operated on the ethical principle propounded by George Washington Plunkitt, the philosopher of Tammany Hall I seen my opportunities and I took em. http://www.campaignfinancesite.org/book/html/292.html

TABLE OF CONTENTS Download the PDF Article Deregulating Politics George F. Will This selection first appeared in Newsweek Will recounts that Wisconsin legislation restricting communication that has the purpose of influencing an election has led to suits in which legislators have sued on the grounds that they have been harmed by political messages criticizing their performance, thus demonstrating what Will considers the real motive behind campaign finance reform: "The political class thinks it has a right to ration the permissible amount of political communication because it really thinks it has a property right to the offices it holds." W hen Earl Long was Louisiana's governor, he did not think highly of the state's attorney general: "If you want to hide something from Jack Gremillion, put it in a lawbook." Nowadays if you want, as sensible people do, to discredit the drive for campaign finance reform, give the reformers ample opportunities to put forth their arguments. The more they talk, the more wind escapes from their movement's sails. Although Bill Clinton is almost negligible as a president, he may have one large, and largely wholesome, consequence. Having run his last campaign, he now favors new regulations on giving and spending money to disseminate political advocacy. However, suppose, as seems probable and by and large desirable, the final conclusion about his 1996 campaign-financing activities is that although what he did was often coarse and unseemly, it was nevertheless permitted by existing laws. In that case, his behavior will have produced the de facto deregulation of campaigning. That is, there will be almost nothing significant that the laws regulating campaigns will significantly inhibit. Which is as it should be.

Origins After the American Revolution several patriotic societies sprang up to promote various political causes and economic interests. Among these were the Tammany societies, founded in New York, Philadelphia, and other cities. The societies took the name of a Delaware chief, Tamanend, who is said to have welcomed William Penn and to have signed with him the Treaty of Shakamaxon. The Tammany Society, or Columbian Order of New York City, the only Tammany society to have a long life, was formed c.1786 and was incorporated in 1789. Divided into 13 tribes, corresponding to the 13 states, it had as its motto “Freedom Our Rock”; its rites and ceremonials were based on pseudo–Native American forms, and the titles of its officials were also pseudo–Native American. Although its activities were at first mostly social, ceremonial, and patriotic, the society gradually became the principal upholder of Jeffersonian politics in New York City.

var AID="08502081_1"; The Life of the Party, by Robert Kuttner Brooks, David Robert Kuttner, who is among the more prominent of the Democratic party's younger intellectuals, has the soul of a Tammany ward boss. ...On analogous grounds Kuttner opposes such policies, endorsed by a number of Democratic economists, as means-testing for welfare, by which programs are directed at those who need them... ...worst of all, they have espoused an endearing faith in the power of new ideas... ...He would thus have the Democrats promise and enact such programs as: national health insurance, all-day school grants, free child care, grants for home-buyers, job training, full-employment guarantees, and public-works programs... ...Thus, although he has some nice things to say about the denizens of liberal think tanks, basically Kuttner dismisses them as patrician meddlers, and worse, political nailfs... ...Most importantly, Simon believes that this wish list-which anybody from Michael Dukakis rightward would call disastrous for the nation-is actually in the national interest... ...Recognizing that the party's progressive elites, with their isolationist foreign policy and nihilistic cultural ideas, are a political liability, he argues that the Democrats can nevertheless win votes from the country's socially conservative majority if they run and then deliver on the bread-and-butter issues...

Reader's Companion To American History - -URBAN BOSSES AND MACHINE POLITICS I work for my pocket all the time, testified Richard Croker, one of Tweed s successors, and the legendary ward boss George Washington Plunkitt unabashedly http://college.hmco.com/history/readerscomp/rcah/html/ah_088500_urbanbossesa.htm

Entries Publication Data Advisory Board Contributors ... World Civilizations The Reader's Companion to American History URBAN BOSSES AND MACHINE POLITICS When Chicago mayor and political boss Richard J. Daley died in office in 1976, obituaries not only lamented his passing but commented on the demise of urban political machines. Thirteen years later when his son, Richard M. Daley, was elected mayor, critics warned of a "pin-striped machine," in which the Loop's politically connected lawyers would replace old-style precinct captains. But the father had once told the son, "I can put you on the ballroom floor, but you'll have to dance for yourself." To the critics' surprise, in the early days of the younger Daley's first administration, the music was that of reform. The Daley family saga illustrates the complexity of urban politics. Call a politician a boss rather than a leader, label party structure a machine rather than an organization—either sends the voter a clear message. That is why the prototype of the political boss, William M. Tweed, proclaimed himself to be a "Statesman!" Whether Robin Hood or scoundrel, corrupter or modernizer of cities, omnipotent dictator or mere cog in the many-spoked wheel of municipal government, the boss is an urban institution that must be understood if one is to know the history of America's cities. A century ago, when he wanted to reinforce his belief that local government in the United States was a conspicuous failure, James Bryce described the boss as "dominant among his fellows.... He dispenses places, rewards the loyal, punishes the mutinous, concocts schemes, negotiates treaties. He generally avoids publicity, preferring the substance to the pomp of power, and is all the more dangerous because he sits, like a spider, hidden in the midst of his web. He is a Boss."

Home Why VDARE.com / The White Doe? FAQ Blog ... Printer Friendly Version... Diversity vs. Civil Service Reform: Affirmative Action = Jobs For Democrats By James Fulford Affirmative action didn't start in the 1960's. It goes back much farther than that. What confuses people is that it used to be called “political corruption.” In the 1890's the "spoils system" allowed the winning party to get jobs for their loyal partisans. Tax money taken from members of all parties was used to pay the salaries of members of one party. Civil service reform finished that. For many years, when blacks had no political clout whatsoever, the Federal Civil Service was a place where they could get jobs when white employers refused to hire them. In the African-American community, the Democratic Party has a large group of loyal partisans. African-Americans
