Coleman, McAlister | December 18, 1937 issue

add to cart   close window

This article focuses on Frank Hague, Mayor of Jersey city. The author says that the Mayor hurries from one conference of his lawyers and advisers to another, on both sides of the Hudson. Supposedly immune to newspaper attacks, he berates the New York correspondents for their stories about the doings in his domain. At the same time his large pack of trained seals on the Jersey City papers are urged on in their efforts to make it appear that between the innocent Jersey citizenry and the invading hordes from Moscow.
