| 520 | _a"The System," as Uncovered by the San Francisco Graft Prosecution by Franklin Hichborn is a historical account written in the early 20th century. The book investigates the widespread corruption and graft that plagued San Francisco during the early 1900s, particularly under the Union Labor Party and the leadership of figures like Abe Ruef. The narrative details the mechanisms of corruption, legal battles, and the civic efforts that aimed to combat the entrenched “System” that enabled such misconduct. The opening of the book sets the stage by discussing the rise of the Union Labor Party, which came into power in San Francisco during significant labor unrest. It highlights the election of Mayor Eugene E. Schmitz, supported by political strategist Abraham Ruef, who manipulated the party structure to consolidate power while fostering corruption. The text illustrates how the emerging corruption became a focus of public outrage and prosecution, paving the way for a fierce struggle between the forces of reform and the established powers of corruption within the city government.
