Elections in New York State |
---|
An election for Mayor of New York City was held on November 7, 1905.
Candidates included incumbent mayor George B. McClellan Jr., newspaper publisher and two-term U.S. Representative William Randolph Hearst, and reform advocate William Mills Ivins Sr.
McClellan was reelected with 37% of the vote.
There was evidence of electoral fraud against Hearst linked to the Tammany Hall machine, as well as violence and intimidation against Hearst poll watchers.[1]
