Edwin J. Brown (1864-1941) was mayor of Seattle, elected in May, 1922, and again in 1924. He graduated from Kansas City School of Law in 1899, and worked as a dentist, thus earning the moniker "Doc" Brown. As a politician during prohibition, Brown personally did not drink alcohol, but supported the public's right to drink. When Brown left to attend the 1924 Democratic National Convention, he appointed city council member Bertha Knight Landes as acting mayor. Landes began her own law and order campaign, firing Police Chief William B. Severyns for corruption and closing down lotteries, punchboards and speakeasies. Upon his return, Brown reinstated the police chief.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Mayor Bertha Knight Landes )〕 In 1926, Brown ran for a third term, but lost to Landes. ==See also== * Anna A.
