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:
“Upon entering my vein, the drug would start a warm edge that would surge along until the brain consumed it in a gentle explosion. It began in the back of the neck and rose rapidly until I felt such pleasure that the world sympathizing took on a soft, lofty appeal.”
—Gus Van Sant, U.S. screenwriter and director, and Dan Yost. Bob Hughes (Matt Dillon)
