Rensselaer Semi-Weekly Republican, Volume 41, Number 118, Rensselaer, Jasper County, 5 November 1909 — Tammany Candidate Elected Mayor of New York City. [ARTICLE]

Tammany Candidate Elected Mayor of New York City.

William Gaynor, the democratic candidate for mayor of New York, was elected, but all other “Tammany” candidates were defeated. It was the most complete rout given the Tammany crowd for years, and they lose complete control of the city’s finances, which they have controlled for many previous administrations.
