ssSit Down, said Frank Magne
AND ROOSEVELT SAT DOWN!
BY JOSEPH w. LaBINE

New Workers are casting wor-
ried glances across the Hudson
these days. Those who will
brave the ''outer world" that
lies over the river may some
day visit Jersey City and see
for themselves.
Jersey City, they allege, is in
the grips of a tyrant, a dicta-
tor, a reborn Huey P. Long.
His name is Frank Hague.
Mayor Hague has undoubted-
ly ruled all New Jersey at least
10 years, probably more. He
made A. Harry Moore a United
States senator, later a COVER
nor. More recently he sent his
personal attorney, John Milton,
to the upper house in Washing
ton. Since 1913 he has been in
absolute control of Jersey City,
an overgrown community of
$4,000 souls lying within eye
shot of Manhattan's towers.
Frank Hague is smart poll
tician. Behind his multi-col-
ored exploits lies a genius
for grasping votes and power by
methods that are exasperating but
legal. When a legislative commit
tee recently tried to seize Hudson
county vote records (on charge of
election fraud), Hague packed off
on a Florida vacation and his assist
ant in charge of the books was re-
ported ILL., This prompted a New
York newspaper reporter to COM
ment that the official "has been in
disposed on other occasions when
investigations involving his Office
were in progress"
At another time, in 1928, Hague
testified before a legislative COM
mittee investigating Jersey City by
replying, 81 decline to answer" to
practically every question fired at
him.
And He Sat Down!
The height of Hague's impudence
arrived one night in 1882 when
Franklin D. Roosevelt, campaigning
for the presidency, was being es-
corted by the mayor from gathering
to gathering. Mr.. Roosevelt was
just warming up to large outdoor
crowd when Hague, pulling at his
coat, snapped:
''That's enough. Sit down."
The future President of the United
States sat down.
Currently Frank Hague is in the
headlines as c. I. o. batter. He
has refused to open the civic doors
to John Lewis organizers. They
cannot hire a hall; Hague's eff
cient police simply run them out Of
town. The mayor, who once thought
lessly boosted that II am the law"
has arranged convenient legal
weapons to best the c. I. o. One
law prohibits distribution of nom
commercial literature, like c. I. o.
pamphlets. Another enables police
to arrest anyone who can't give sat-

isfactory reason for his presence on
Jersey City streets, thereby land
ing C. I. o. organizers in the city
cooler.
Today Frank Hague's well-oiled
political machine depends on such
unique implements as the SOS, 000,-
600 medical center third largest in
the United States and far too i'm
posing for such a small city, and a
government that is really efficient,
albeit expensive. To understand this
amazing situation one must exam
inc the background, from the time
young Frank Hague was an aspir-
ing Democr attic boss in Jersey
City's second ward. That was in
1908.
Started as Custodian.
Unimportant, but ascending,
Hague's first job was custodian of
the city hall at $1,000 a year under
Mayor Otto H. Wittpenn. Later, as
commissioner of the street and wa
ter board, he made friends both
with administration forces and the
lusty Commission Government

penn by throwing tremendous and
unexpected support to the league
and being elected to the first Jersey
City commission.
He was named commissioner of
public safety, tailor-made situa-
ton for the smart politician. Hague,
as head of the police and fire de-
partments, acquired a foundation on
which to build his personal political
organization. To his credit, he trans
formed Jersey City's police from a
corrupt lot of deadwood into an or
ganization of clear-headed, purpose
full young men. Whether his aim
was sincere is beside the point; the
new police and fire departments
awakened civic pride, and all hands
pointed at Frank Hague as the man
who had accomplished it.
Eventually he was elected mayor
and the Hague star assembled rapid
ly. Next step in cementing his po-
litical foundation was the Jersey
City medical center. Behind this
splendid nine-building institution is
a story of the mayors babyhood, of
the days when he was so weak and
delicate that his mother took him
each day to st. Francis hospital.
There she received sympathy-the
future politicians life was saved.
Hague never forgot the stories his
mother told him of those daily trips.
Today's medical center has been a
lifelong ambition, a humanitarian

BY JOHN ]. DAILY,

Visions of Washington as a small
town, when the grounds of the Capitol
were inclosed by an iron fence studded
with nine gates-some for carriages
and others for pedestrians-were re-
called in architectural circles today
as research artists went to work try
ing to fashion the history of the old
gatehouses and gateposts now down
on Constitution avenue.
Reason was President Roosevelt I
expressed desire to have the two re-
naming gatehouses and gateposts pre-
served for future generations because
OF their architectural and historic
value.
Two different sets of records in the
office of David Lynn, architect of the
Capitol and in the files of H. P.
Caemmerer. executive secretary of the
Fine Arts Commission, were checked.
From these it was determined that:
l. Charles Bulfinch, architect OF the
Capitol from 1918 to 1880, had a fine
penchant for designing fences and
gates-and he really spread himself
when he went to work on the gate
houses. As Mr. Caemmerer says.
They are lovely gems of architecture
in the classic design"
2. Mr. Bulflnch himself saw to it
that the gates and gateposts were
properly placed around the Capitol
Grounds. with the two gatehouses
guarding the entranceway to the great
terrace that ran from the western en-
trance down to Pennsylvania and
Maryland avenues.
These two gatehouses, one OF which
is now at Seventeenth street and Con-
stitutlon avenue NV. and the other
at Fifteenth street and Constitution
avenue. first won the admiration Of
President Roosevelt when he was
Assistant Secretary of the Navy. Oc-
casionally he walked past them, and
once or twice ventured inside. He
never lost interest in them. and when
he learned recently that. through lack
OF care, the old structures are dis
integrating. shabby and unkempt he
ordered all hands to get busy and do
something about it.
An act Of Congress. dated June %.
1874. sent the gatehouses and the gate
posts on their way out of the Capitol
Grounds. At that time, Frederick Law
Olmstead was directed to enlarge the
parking space around the Capitol
