For the first time in almost a decade, Murray Seasongood, mayor of this city since 1926, and a leader in the dominant charter group of the city’s municipal administration, is a private citizen. Although he led his ticket in 1927 he declined to be a candidate for re-election in 1929 and has returned to his private law practice.
Mr. Seasongood has been one of the most heavily publicized mayors in the country during the past few years because of his aggressive direction of Cincinnati’s revolt against machine politics. Under his mayoralty the city has changed from “the worst governed to the best governed city in America.”
