,oanced Tammany Hall as "a quasi
,rinanal organization held together by
lie cohesiveness of public plumber"
Mr. Jerome, so that Mayor Hylan's
segabors might know about it, re-
yisved in detail the story of Hylans
connection with Goslin, the French Jail
bird, and the Black Diamond Automo-
bile Company. He tod again of the
sollspse Of the Eagle Loan and Savings
organization, of which Mayor Hylan
vas director, and the sorrow it
brought upon the $500 depositors. He
rscited the Mayors own sob story"

tells 1t himself, and then showed that
Henry Curran's life history is an even
better account of how a poor boy can
rise by unaided effort.
