Orderly Crowd Turns Out for La Guardia’s Re-election

We took this picture at 1 a.m. La Guardia said to caption it: “We got the Mayor out of bed to pose for pictures.”

This is the election night crowd at Times Square, watching for results from the ‘Times’ bulletin board. The crowd was well behaved – in fact this election was the most orderly in the city’s history, with no violence reported.
