The Life and Times of Frank Hague is a look at 30 years of local and political history in Jersey City, New Jersey, from 1917 to 1947, seen through the career of it's mayor. Viewed by some as a hero and seen as a scoundrel—"a dictator American style" by others, Frank Hague's tale is of one of rough and tumble politics, of a time before media packaged candidates.
The Online RealAudio of Frank Hague's story is told in six parts: |
He was the mayor of Jersey City, New Jersey, for thirty years. .. 1917 to 1947 – A working-class hero, a Progressive reformer, a “dictator-American style” – in high collar and spats, he was the ultimate Irish political boss. He could put a turkey on your Thanksgiving table, your brother-in-law on the police force, and your vote in FDR’s column. He could also put his hand in your pocket. ... It is a tale of an America that no longer exits – a time of rough and tumble politics – the days before media packaged candidates – when a street kid could rise from the slums to walk the halls of power.
2001. A co-production of the New Jersey Historical Commission and NJN Public Radio, written and produced by David Steven Cohen and Marty Goldensohn
