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:
“And in the next instant, immediately behind them, Victor saw his former wife.
At once he lowered his gaze, automatically tapping his cigarette to dislodge the ash that had not yet had time to form. From somewhere low down his heart rose like a fist to deliver an uppercut, drew back, struck again, then went into a fast disorderly throb, contradicting the music and drowning it.”
—Vladimir Nabokov (1899–1977)
