Abstract

The Odds on Maverick

Munz, Charles Curtis | May 10, 1941 issue

add to cart   close window

The mayoralty term to which Mayor Maury Maverick was elected two years ago is coming to an end. His administration has been mildly liberal, not at all radical; mainly honest and enlightened. This is so marked a departure from the usual corruption that one would think his reelection would be practically unanimous. It will not be. Maverick bears the liberal taint and many of the power that in San Antonio frankly prefer conservatism and corruption. For the two years of his term as mayor Maverick's foes have harassed him every step of the way.
