1909 Los Angeles mayoral election
The 1909 Los Angeles mayoral election took place on November 9, 1909, with a run-off election on December 7, 1909. Incumbent George Alexander was re-elected over George A. Smith in the runoff election.
Municipal elections in California, including Mayor of Los Angeles, are officially nonpartisan; candidates' party affiliations do not appear on the ballot.[1]
Election
Incumbent George Alexander won the March 1909 Los Angeles mayoral election to finish Arthur C. Harper 's term, and was now seeking a full term. He was challenged by George A. Smith , a fellow Republican and former Councilman, William C. Mushet , an Independent who was the Los Angeles City Auditor , and Oscar Eugene Farish , a Democrat and former Councilman.
In the primary, Smith and Mushet were close in totals to be included on the ballot for the runoff election, and some Mushet supporters floated the idea of Smith withdrawing to allow Mushet on the ballot.[2] [3] [4] [5]
In the general election, Alexander defeated Smith with a majority vote.[6] [7]
