Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from The Price of Place His influence extended out into the district and he dominated some of the other counties also. He was a contractor and real-estate dealer, who couldn´t be elected to an office himself because of a general distrust of his methods and morals; but no candidate could be elected without the support of McManus and his organisation. McManus would have given half his fortune for popular recognition in the way of an elective office, but he knew what would happen to him if he went before the people. So he bossed the organisation, dictated the nominations, and took his preferment in the way of appointive offices and receiverships and other patronage distributed by the bigger bosses of the state and nation. "Give us the dope," he insisted. "Well," said Caulkins, "listen to this: ´Lincoln County, with twenty precincts missing, gives Marsh 2245 and Bolus 1762. Same precincts two years ago gave Hawkins 1936 and Bolus 1834."´ "It´s a cinch," commented McManus, "for Grant and Sheridan and Colby will do as well." "Don´t be too sure," cautioned Caulkins. "Two years ago we thought it was a pipe, and Bolus nosed in." That was the fact. After remaining steadfastly Republican, so far as its representation in Congress went, for twenty years, the fifteenth district suddenly became Democratic.
