County. His influence extended out into the district and he dominated some of the other counties also. He was a contractor and realestate dealer, who couldnt be elected to an office himself because of a general distrust of his methods and morals; but no candidate could be elected without the support of Mc Manus and his organisation. Mc Manus would have given half his fortune for popular recognition in the way of an elective office, but he knew what would happen to him if he went before the people. So he bossed the organisation, dictated the nominations, and took his preferment in the way of appointive offices and receiverships and other patronage dis tributed by the bigger bosses of the state and nation.
