[Albion Wilde]

In Philly, ward leaders and miscellaneous thugs would have entire voting machines put on dollies and removed from polling places, either to suppress, augment or otherwise tamper with the actual votes. They also had wads of WAM (walking around money) for every election to bribe street corner vagrants to go and vote Democrat.

By golly, shades of Chicago! I remember an old, old-time politician by the name of Paddy Bauer, he of the rummy eyes and flushed face, with a beer always hoisted in his hand saying, “Chicago ain't ready for reform.”

I pray that Philly and Chicago turn themselves around and make Paddy choke on his words, (actually it's too late for Paddy..he died some time ago.)
