1909 Los Angeles mayoral special election
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The 1909 Los Angeles mayoral special election took place on March 26, 1909, following the recall attempt of incumbent Arthur Cyprian Harper.[1] George Alexander was elected over Fred C. Wheeler by a small plurality.[2] It was the first election "ever held in any American city for the recall of a mayor."[3] It was also the first election held after the charter amendment that instituted nonpartisan elections and made the office of Mayor nonpartisan.[4]
