  Samuel William Yorty - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Samuel William Yorty (October 1, 1909 – June 5, 1998) was an outspoken politician from Los Angeles, California.
Yorty's administration was criticized for failing to cooperate with efforts to improve conditions in neighborhoods such as Watts, but he accused other leaders of raising false hopes and of action by communist agitators, having always categorically rejected any criticism of the city's police or fire departments.
Yorty had received strong support from influential New Hampshire publisher William Loeb, stating that President Richard Nixon had "caved in" to anti-war senators and that he had never agreed with the government's policy on the war.

 Adlai E. Stevenson Papers | Seeley G. Mudd Manuscript Library
His paternal grandfather, Adlai E. Stevenson, served as Grover Cleveland's Vice President during his second term, was nominated for the office with William Jennings Bryan in 1900, and ran unsuccessfully for Illinois governor in 1908.
Because Stevenson was drafted for the 1952 Democratic presidential nomination, correspondence pertaining to the 1952 campaign dates only from late July, while later correspondence shows that Stevenson began preparing for the 1956 campaign in 1955, if not almost immediately after his defeat in 1952.
Because of the large volume of correspondence that Stevenson received, his responses are often quite brief, almost cursory, while the incoming correspondence is generally more loquacious.
