Campaigning With La Guardia
The uncanny ability of Fiorello La Guardia to get out the vote — on his side — made him a nonesuch in New York politics. An avowed foe of Tammany and corruption, he was the most successful reformer of his day. ”The Little Flower was a Big Man,” writes ERNEST CUNEO, the young law student who was his secretary. ”But he never forgot to value every vote as though it were a marquise emerald.“ The article which follows, illuminating the La Guardia campaign techniques, is drawn from Life with Fiorello, to be published this fall by Macmillan.
