Hague, Frank

   Also found in: Encyclopedia 0.03 sec.

Hague, Frank (1876–1956)

US politician. Initially running as a reformer, he was a Democratic Jersey City commissioner (1913–17) who created a political machine that allowed him to serve as mayor from 1917–1947. Despite charges of corruption, he controlled New Jersey Democrats, handpicking governors from 1919–1941. He also served as vice chairman of the National Democratic Party (1924–52). Constitutional reforms ended his control of state elections and dissatisfied voters rejected his mayoral successor in 1947. Hague was born in Jersey City, New Jersey
