Inquisitor for Inquisitor
Loudly have New York City’s Fusionists boasted that their Mayoral candidate, onetime Congressman Fiorello Henry La Guardia, has the backing of Inquisitor Samuel Seabury, whose municipal investigations ran Mayor James John (“Jimmy”) Walker out of the City Hall and into exile. Last week the followers of Independent Democratic Candidate Joseph Vincent McKee could match Inquisitor for Inquisitor with Fusion. On their ticket, as candidate for District Attorney, they got Ferdinand Pecora, counsel for the Senate’s Wall Street investigation, quizzer last spring of J. P. Morgan & Co., last week of Dillon, Read & Co. (see p. 54).
