Every county officer is obligated to him, virtually every State officer owes his job to Pendergast support, and he personally lifted Governor Guy Brasfield Park from an obscure rural judgeship to the State House in 1933. Boss Pendergast finds politics "good business," supports a string of racehorses with his profits...
