...Hall, in which Tammany Boss Carmine De Sapio appeared as one of the smartest political pros in the city's history. TIME's evaluation of De Sapio in that story (TIME, Aug. 22, 1955) got considerable documentation last week at the New York State Democratic convention in Buffalo, where De Sapio clearly came out on top as the new strongman of his party-not merely in New York City, but in New York State.

...Rochester and Buffalo, 75 miles apart in upstate New York, Republicans and Democrats met for the election-year business of selecting candidates. Two days later the Democrats left Buffalo tattered and torn with party strife (see below), and beaming Republicans took dead aim on November with a unified front for an appealing ticket.

Hogan, a Roman Catholic (for ticket-balancing purposes) and a pro's pro. Indeed, De Sapio had been making approving sounds about Hogan ever since March. Among his main reasons: Hogan is far from being one of the A.D.A.-type liberals who, De Sapio thinks, have long been getting more political plums than their vote production is worth. And, as opposed to a liberal darling, a Hogan...
