I WAS born and raised in Jersey City and I delivered Frank Hague's newspapers. My boss collected the tips and kept them, which gave me my first lesson in following the money, the prime requisite for anyone interested in understanding politics. Why? Because where money comes from, where it goes and what gets done with it can tell you a lot about getting elected, staying in office and, sometimes, going to jail.

IN 1955, when Joseph F. Sullivan became a reporter, New Jersey was as much a state of farms as of pharmaceuticals. Hudson County was still, post-Hague, a Democratic machine. Governors were still chosen by clubhouse politicians. Each county sent only one senator to Trenton -- the 21 Club, it was called. Statewide politics belonged to moderate Republicans. Instead of Ross Perot, there was Henry Krajewski, a pig farmer from Secaucus who liked to run for President. Bruce Springsteen was far off, and so was the income tax.

Once upon a broadcast dreary, while reporting market theory, Over a quaint and curious pie graph depicting tax-abatement lore, I was wrapping, just recapping, when suddenly there came a tapping, As of someone gently rapping, rapping at my newsroom door. " 'Tis our pollster," I concluded, "tapping at my newsroom door, only this and nothing more." Back then to my news desk turning, all my heart within me burning, Soon again I heard a tapping, somewhat louder than before. "Finally," said I, "an intern is returning with the numbers From the focus group du jour. We'll see then where we're trending As to complex questions ending in subtleties like this week's 'either/or'; And hope the answers vary from last week's quite contrary scientific survey Framed as 'neither/nor.' "

The Moore Corporation said yesterday that it had advanced in its bid to take over Wallace Computer Services Inc., capturing three of eight board seats at Wallace's annual meeting. Among those unseated was Robert Cronin, Wallace's president.

Moore is offering $1.4 billion for Wallace, a business forms supplier, which has rejected the offer as inadequate. Wallace's shares fell $1.25, to $57.75, on the New York Stock Exchange yesterday.
