- Frank Hague (January 17, 1876 – January 1, 1956) was an American Democratic Party politician who served as the mayor of Jersey City, New Jersey from 1917 to 1947, Democratic National Committeeman from New Jersey from 1922 until 1949, and Vice-Chairman of the Democratic National Committee from 1924 until 1949. Hague has a widely-known reputation for corruption and bossism and has been called "the grandaddy of Jersey bosses. " By the time he left office in 1947, he enjoyed palatial homes, European vacations, and a private suite at the Plaza Hotel. His wealth has been estimated to have been over $10 million at the time of his death, although his City salary never exceeded $8,500 per year and he had no other legitimate source of income. His desk, which is still located in City Hall, has a specially designed lap drawer which could be pushed outward towards the person with whom he was meeting. This allowed his "guests" to discreetly deliver bribes in the form of envelopes containing large amounts of cash. During the height of his power Hague's political machine, known as "the organization," was one of the most powerful in the United States controlling politics on local, county, and state levels. Hague's personal influence extended to the national level, influencing federal patronage and Presidential campaigns.
- Frank Hague, maire de la ville de Jersey City (New Jersey) de 1917 à 1947. Son rôle a été déterminant dans la nomination de Franklin D. Roosevelt comme candidat démocrate en 1932. Il a été récompensé de son soutien à Roosevelt en 1932 par le financement d'un complexe médical comprenant une maternité baptisée Margaret Hague, du nom de sa mère. Frank Hague était connu pour sa corruption. Alors qu'il était maire, il était un familier des grandes demeures, des vacances en Europe et disposait d'une suite privée au Waldorf-Astoria. Sa fortune a été estimée à 10 millions de dollars à sa mort, bien que son salaire municipale ne dépassa jamais 8 000 Dollars par an et qu'il ne jouissait d'aucune autre source de revenu légale. Son bureau, qui a été conservé à l'hôtel de ville de Jersey City, avait un tiroir conçu spécialement pour pouvoir être poussé vers les personnes que Hague recevait. Cela permettait à celles-ci de donner des pots-de-vin discrètement sous la forme d'enveloppes pleines d'argent en espèces. Il avait l'habitude de charger des employés de la ville de malmener ses ennemis et de neutraliser l'opposition politique, ce qui eut un echo dans la presse nationale américaine lorsque ses hommes de main interrompirent un rassemblement auquel participait le candidat du Parti Socialiste Américain, Norman Thomas, qui fut racompagné de force à un ferry le ramenant à New York. Son usage de la fraude électorale est également légendaire aux États-Unis.
