Section 2: What is George Washington Plunkitt's position on drinking? How does he substantiate his opinion of liquor and politics?

Section 3: What role does Plunkitt see for political party bosses to play within the Democratic Party? Why does he feel that way?

Section 4: Plunkitt and his crowd claimed to be patriotic. Do you think they really were? Why or why not? Explain.
