The primary election vaa echedded for the first week in May
1923. Between January snd May, the "usual" police crimes — extortion,
bribery, white slavery, bootlegging, robbery, murder — were cherged to
Los Angelee officers. The Influence of gemblers, in end out of city
hdl, vas brought forward. The Record eccueed Mayor Cryer, on rather
good evidence, of deliberately avoiding a chance to uncover mnlfeaasnce

Record, supported the mayor in the election. Cryer won easily, receiving more than twice the combined number of votea caat for hia four

| Description | Joseph Gerald Woods. The progressives and the police: urban reformers and the professionalization of the Los Angeles police. University of California, Los Angeles (Ph.D., history), 1973. Published by University Microfilms International (Ann Arbor, Michigan, USA), 1982. PART OF A SERIES: A critical component of the Commission's investigation centered on the idea that governance of the LAPD was shared between the Office of the Chief of Police, an administrative body, and the Board of Police Commissioners, a citizen body. To better understand the dynamic between these two entities, the staff of Heller, Ehrman, White, & McAuliffe researched the history of the Los Angeles City Charter, focusing primarily on its provisions regarding the distribution of power and the structure and organization of the LAPD. Included in the series are reproductions of reports, dissertations, article clippings, excerpts from city documents, and charter amendments related to the charter's conception and development over time. The series also includes several summaries of expert witness interviews regarding the effectiveness of this structure. |
