Hans the Cobbler and the Political Pull Scheme
A cobbler Hans narrates a tale of “pull” in politics as local officials and candidates court him for favors. He describes Alderman Hindk and a mayor promising influence in exchange for payments, and a police officer pressing for loans to maintain favors. The piece exposes mob influence on ward power and the lure of contracts and office through informal payoffs.
