Henry R. Rose was the 29th Mayor of Los Angeles from July 1913 to July 1915. He only served for one term. He was regarded as "anti- unionist". He was at first against the Mulholland annexation proposal but, after taking office, he switched positions.
According to the Los Angeles Times, Rose was: " socialist and progressive, Rose was also a crack pistol shot, winning many matches, even against the police chief."
Famous quotes containing the word rose:
“I am a rose of Sharon, a lily of the valleys. As a lily among brambles, so is my love among maidens. As an apple tree among the trees of the wood, so is my beloved among young men. With great delight I sat in his shadow, and his fruit was sweet to my taste.”
—Bible: Hebrew, Song of Solomon 2:1-3.
