SUMMARY:Cartoon shows a smiling Thomas F. Meaney walking out the door, carrying a rolled up paper labeled "Senate Confirmation." President Roosevelt tells a defiant Senator George Norris, "After all, George, doesn''t the end justify the Meaneys?" On June 30, 1942, Senator Norris spoke for more than three hours on the Senate floor, opposing the nomination of Meaney to a federal court because of his close ties to Mayor Frank Hague of Jersey City. The Hague Machine was known to be one of the most corrupt in the country, but because it strongly supported Roosevelt, the president continued to channel patronage through it. The Senate confirmed Meaney the next day. MEDIUM:1 drawing. CREATED/PUBLISHED:1942 July 3. CREATOR: Berryman, Clifford Kennedy, 1869-1949, artist.
