The crowd at the notification ceremony in New York City that took place on the steps of City Hall on Sept. 3, 1913, when Mayor William J. Gaynor was nominated for re-election. He had served as a reform mayor. Because the incorruptible Gaynor would not cooperate with the Tammany machine, it refused to nominate him for a second term. Instead, he was renominated by an independent group. Creator: Bain News Service. Photo by Heritage Art/Heritage Images via Getty Images.
