Excerpt from Tammany Hall Ammany, for nearly a century, has con stituted the political agency by which the major mass of the voters of New York City has made effective its preferences in regard to the rule of the city for good or for ill to the worst harvest yet reaped in the wide field of universal suffrage. This ruling organization of adult male voters has sometimes been for years together only a plurality of the voters of the city profiting by the divisions of its opponents, and it has sometimes itself divided by fission, a part pre ferring to use one of the many agencies organ ized in imitation of Tammany but for seventy years there has never been a time at any elec tion when it was not perfectly clear to every unprejudiced observer that a clear plurality of the voters resident on Manhattan Island, pre ferred, other things being equal, to re-elect rulers whose primary selection had been de termined by this political agency.fortunes.

Talcott Williams was born on July 20, 1849, at Abeih, Ottoman Turkey (present-day Lebanon).
Talcott was brought up in a household where five languages were spoken daily, early acquired the foundation for a knowledge of Eastern languages and culture. He was sent to America to be educated, and graduated from Amherst College in 1873.
That same year he joined the staff of the New York World and became successively Albany correspondent, assistant night editor, and night editor. In 1877 he went to Washington, where, as correspondent first for the World and later for the San Francisco Chronicle and the New York Sun, he emerged as one of the outstanding political reporters of his day.
So thorough was his grasp of public affairs that in 1879 the Springfield Republican, a newspaper of outstanding national importance, invited him to become one of its editorial writers. Two years later he left the Republican to write editorials for the Philadelphia Press.
There followed thirty-one years of prodigious activity, during which time he became managing editor and subsequently associate editor of the Press. His editorials were brilliant, and in art, literature, and drama his penetrating reviews brought him recognition as Philadelphia's leading critic. He studied finance, and for a number of years wrote a weekly review of business conditions. During this period also he twice collected anthropological material in Morocco for the Smithsonian Institution and the Archaeological Museum of the University of Pennsylvania. His wide interests led him to clip and save news items likely to be of value in his work.
In 1880 he began clipping newspapers for items of political or personal interest. As the scope of journalistic interests widened he was soon clipping upon every subject. By 1900 hundreds of boxes were required to hold the accumulated masses of information which became the foundation for the "morgue" of the Columbia School of Journalism, containing more than 1, 400, 000 clippings.
In 1912 he left the Press to become the first director of the Columbia University School of Journalism, which Joseph Pulitzer had endowed. He brought to the task of organization the benefit of thirty-nine years of active newspaper life. What was more significant, however, he brought the background and the vision of one who all his life had been noted for a deep scholarliness rare at that time in the development of journalism as a profession. In planning a curriculum for the new school he combined cultural courses with practical training as he had combined them in his own life. The text for his classes in international affairs was the morning's cable copy, which his own experience as a political reporter enabled him to interpret. It is significant of his deep understanding that in 1912 and 1913, he was lecturing to his classes about the coming of the World War, its causes, its participants, and its probable outcome. He proved himself a prophet in more than politics, for in bringing to the school Dr. Edwin E. Slosson to teach a general course in science he foresaw and to a great extent originated the reporting of scientific news, which until that time had not been considered of popular interest.
In addition to numerous reports, articles, and sections of books, he wrote Turkey, A World Problem of Today (1921) and The Newspaper Man (1922). He was professor emeritus from 1919 until his death on January 24, 1928.
