Recounting a letter from Bela Tokaji to the Times, the author quotes Tokaji’s positive views on the popular government and his surprise “that independent voters do not show greater enthusiasm in what he terms the propaganda […] for popular government.” Tokaji remarks on the ways in which political machines in New York have “ceased to be a dominant factor in the body politic.”
