Mayor-elect Harry P. Cain (at right) and Public Utilities Commissioner-elect R.D. "Bob" O'Neil shake hands after their victory in the March, 1940, general elections. With 131 precincts reporting, Mr. Cain had an 1800+ lead over former mayor Melvin G. Tennent while Mr. O'Neil had a nearly 2-1 margin over longtime Utilities Commissioner Ira S. Davisson. Looking on is Tacoma School Board member Lyle Lemley, who easily won re-election to a three-year term. (T.Times 3-13-40, p. 1) ALBUM 12.
