  • Franklin Roosevelt, Frank Hague, and the Presidential Election of 1936 in New Jersey
    NJS: An Interdisciplinary Journal Winter 2016 120 “A Common Interest” Franklin Roosevelt, Frank Hague, and the Presidential Election of 1936 in New Jersey By Si Sheppard DOI: http://dx.doi.org/10.14713/njs.v2i1.30 The Great Depression and the New Deal forged a mutually beneficial alliance between President Franklin D. Roosevelt and Mayor Frank Hague of Jersey City. Each needed the other. Hague benefited from the federal funds he was allocated by the New Deal relief agencies. Channeling this government assistance through his political machine in Jersey City enabled him to consolidate his control over Hudson County and ultimately become the dominant figure of the Democratic Party in New Jersey. In return, Hague pledged to secure New Jersey for Roosevelt in his reelection campaign. Ironically, Hague got the better of this arrangement. Roosevelt’s personal popularity would have ensured his reelection in 1936 regardless of Hague’s level of commitment. But by entrenching Hague’s authority, as the New Deal tide ebbed over the ensuing years, and elections in New Jersey became more competitive, the President became ever more dependent on the capacity of the Mayor to deliver the votes he needed. This necessitated a policy of willful indifference towards Hague’s increasingly autocratic and corrupt maladministration. New Jersey today is a loyal “Blue” state, having delivered its electoral votes to the Democratic Party’s candidate for President in every election for a generation. That was not always the case, however; when Franklin D. Roosevelt ran for reelection in 1936, New Jersey was considered a key “swing” state.

    Political Ethics and Public Style in the Early Career of Jersey City’s Frank Hague Matthew Taylor Raffety1 Abstract This essay charts the political rise of Frank Hague, Jersey City's infamous mayor from 1917-1947. Although most historical attention focuses on his long tenure as mayor, Hague's pre-mayoral career provides an instructive example of how urban politicians used public spectacle, the media, ethnic identity, and middle class mores to redefine American urban politics. Before becoming mayor, Hague crafted a public persona that appealed to both middle-class and working-class ethnic voters by reinventing himself as a Progressive while still retaining the showmanship and personal appeals of machine politics. Hague straddled two distinct political traditions, presenting himself simultaneously as a "pol," rooted in the historical mores of the ―Horseshoe,‖ his home neighborhood, as well as a good government advocate, appealing to Jersey City's native-born middle class—focusing on clean water, public safety, and personal responsibility. In doing so, Hague provided a template for ethnic reform mayors who followed, from Fiorello LaGuardia and Richard Daley to Rudolph Giuliani and Ed Rendell. ―For better or worse, he knew how to run a show.‖2 Of all the political bosses who ruled the cities of the American East and Midwest at the beginning of the twentieth century, perhaps none was as feared, demonized, and beloved as Frank Hague of Jersey City, New Jersey (Figure 1). Curiously, however, the man who commanded the attention of contemporaries has received scant attention since his machine was ―buried‖ with a symbolic funeral in May of 1949.3 Contemporaries and historians describe Hague (1876-1956) as the archetypal American political boss.

  • Accountability, Effectiveness and Efficiency: a Study of the New Jersey Quality Single Accountability Continuum (Njqsac) in the Jersey City School District
    ACCOUNTABILITY, EFFECTIVENESS AND EFFICIENCY: A STUDY OF THE NEW JERSEY QUALITY SINGLE ACCOUNTABILITY CONTINUUM (NJQSAC) IN THE JERSEY CITY SCHOOL DISTRICT By ROBERT LEWIS FRIDAY A dissertation submitted to the School of Graduate Studies Rutgers, The State University of New Jersey In partial fulfillment of the requirements For the degree of Doctor of Philosophy Graduate Program in School of Public Administration and Affairs Written under the direction of Gregg Van Ryzin And approved by Norma Riccucci Frank Thompson Elizabeth Hull Newark, New Jersey January, 2018 ©2017 Robert Lewis Friday ALL RIGHTS RESERVED i ABSTRACT Complying with legal rulings and performance mandates has presented challenges in many of New Jersey’s school districts, particularly poor and urban districts. This study examined the policy background as well as grounded experiences of key actors involved in the administration of the Quality Single Accountability Continuum (QSAC), a system of accountability for performance in the Jersey City school district, a state controlled school district. QSAC monitors and evaluates the performance of school districts in five key areas: Instruction and Program, Personnel, Fiscal Management, Operations, and Governance. Its objective is to establish an exit strategy for state-operated school districts, building capacity and strategies that will lead to the return of the schools to local control. Using a case study methodology involving legal and policy analysis along with in-depth interviews of school officials, this study addressed the following questions: 1. What were the legal and policy factors that led to the state takeover of the Jersey City School District and the implementation of the New Jersey Quality Single Accountability Continuum? 2.

  • Municipal Reform in Atlantic City and Jersey City
    Municipal Reform in Atlantic City and Jersey City Central issues, problems or questions: How and why did progressive reformers attempt to combat political corruption and improve social services in New Jersey’s cities? Significance: This lesson explores how progressive reformers sought to abolish political corruption in Atlantic City and to improve the delivery of social services in Jersey City. New Jersey Core Curriculum Content Standards for Social Studies: 6.4 (United States and New Jersey History). High School: I-2 (Discuss the rise of the Progressive Movement). Objectives: After reading and analyzing primary source documents and listening to portions of a radio documentary or online lecture, students will be able to: • Analyze progressive reformers’ attempts to replace urban bosses by providing services to the urban poor, especially recent immigrants. • Assess the effectiveness of reforms designed to combat political corruption. Abstract: Middle school students will learn about Whittier House social settlement and the work of Catholic nuns and then decide which institution was best suited to assist Jersey City residents. After learning about political bosses in Atlantic City and Jersey City, high school students will write a short letter to the editor of the Newark Evening News in response to a cartoon depicting Governor Woodrow Wilson’s campaign against machine politics. Duration: Two 45-minute class periods.
