  7. « the image of the OCTOPUS: six cartoons, 1882–1909 » [archive du ], sur National Humanities Center,  : « In January 1899, after years of orchestrated delay in beginning the New York City subway, the issue came to a head. On one side were Tammany Hall and the businessmen who monopolized the city’s street railways and who wanted no competition from a subway. On the other side was the public demanding improved and less crowded urban transit. When a contract was awarded to one of the companies with no bidding, the public outcry led to huge mass meetings throughout the city. Gov. Theodore Roosevelt settled the immediate dispute (contributing to the Republican leaders’ expelling him from state politics). »
