Topics include shooting outside Democratic Executive committee meeting during tallying the primary vote (Oct. 15, 1915); dispensary sales; prohibition; gambling; crime; enforcement of blue laws; traffic accidents and problems; creation and abolition of a vice zone; protest from the Colored Civic League and Colored Ministerial Union to protest the showing of "The Birth of a Nation" (Jan. 13 1916); and the election (1919) of Grace over Hyde as the Democratic candidate for mayor. Scrapbooks include clippings documenting John P. Grace's second administration from 1920 to 1921. Volumes individually indexed.
