The Emergence of the Political Machine
Political machine was an organized group that controlled the activities of a political party in a city and offered services to voters and businesses in exchange for political or financial support.
![Page 73: Life in the Gilded Age. Bellwork Why is the Gilded Age called the Gilded Age? What are inventors? Which inventions do you think have had the biggest impact.](https://reader034.fdocuments.in/reader034/viewer/2022051215/56649e045503460f94af017c/html5/thumbnails/73.jpg)
Organization of the machine Machine was run by a boss It was like a pyramid At the top was the city boss who controlled
jobs in police, fire, and sanitation, and controlled the city government.
They tried to help immigrant problems and so won immigrant votes and loyalty.

Corruption It was like the mob You had to go through the
boss to get things in a city: new businesses, licenses, inspections, money for schools, hospitals, etc.
The machine then got paid for providing these governmental services

More corruption To keep the machine running they falsified
elections Put in names of dog, children, and dead people Had more votes than registered voters
Used kickbacks Machine would chose a worker that
contracted for a government job, the worker would charge more than necessary and kick back a fee to the political machine
