Ex-Mayor J.J. Kaufman, wife Wavie, Mrs. Harry (Marjorie) Cain and Harry Jr. (Buzzie), at a tribute to Mayor Cain held at the Temple Theatre on October 2, 1944. Lt. Col. Cain was serving in Europe with the Supreme Headquarters Allied Expeditionary Force. Hundreds of friends and well-wishers from around the Puget Sound gathered to enjoy vaudevillian acts and listen to short speeches regarding the absent Mayor Cain. Governor Arthur B. Langlie popped in unexpectedly to praise Harry Cain highly. Mayor Cain would serve in the European theater from 1943-1945; subsequently returned home to resume his duties as Tacoma's mayor until he was elected as a Republican to the U.S. Senate in 1946.
