THOMAS FOX POLITICAL MACHINE BOSS AFFIDAVITS AND DOCUMENTS RELATING TO HIS POLITICAL HISTORY. FILED WITH SENATORS AND THE POST OFFICE DEPARTMENT. LETTERS AND TELEGRAMS RELATING TO HIS FITNESS TO ... Fox, a major figure in the California Democratic Party and political boss of Sacramento, was nominated for the position of state postmaster in 1913. This drew a slew of objections, scores of which are printed here, from those who saw him as corrupt, a "corporation tool" of the Southern Pacific Railroad, on the take from gamblers and criminals, and worse. OCLC locates only three copies, at the California State Library, University of California at Davis, and California Historical Society. Scarce and quite interesting.
