    Big Tim Sullivan - political hard man who met an ignominious end.
  • Jim Rees said:
    Larry Mulligan was Big Tim's half brother. Can't figure out who Hicks is. Ignominious end, yes, but 25,000 turned out for his funeral. That's after his body went unrecognized for two weeks and he nearly ended up in potter's field. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Timothy_Sullivan

    Photo is dated 7-17-1913.
  • Betty Berg said:
    Nice work Wystan. Almost missed it inverted on the right edge.
  • BobMeade said:
    Mona, I have trouble reading the dates, but once someone like Wystan has found a date on the plate negative, then we can do a search of the New York Times to find out more. If we go to the advanced search funtion of the NYT archive, and knowing that Tim Sullivan is the most well known person in this group, let's search of "Tim Sullivan" from July 1, 1913 to July 31, 1913: query.nytimes.com/search/query?frow=0&n=10&srcht=... Then scan the headlines and dates together, and we see a headline "Big Tim Sullivan Returns Imroved; Presence of Politician on Imperator a Secret Until Ship Reaches ..." and dated July 17, 1913. Usually, we look for an article dated the day after the date on the negative, but there is no article for July 18, 1913 in this search. So let's try the one on July 17, 1913: query.nytimes.com/gst/abstract.html?res=9904E5DD163DE633A... and here: query.nytimes.com/mem/archive-free/pdf?_r=1&res=9904E... Neither of these articels exactly correlates with the date on the plate identified by Wystan, but we get a good idea of the fact that a sick Big Tim is back in town.

    His biography?
  • S Jones said:
    William Lorimer (1861-1934) Republican U.S. Congressman and Senator (1909 - 1912) English born but groomed in the Chicago "Boss" politics system, Lorimer was eventually drummed out of the Senate on charges of corruption and election fraud. Somehow, that black mark on his reputation didn't keep him from running La Salle bank for five years.

    he looks shady!
  • Richard Norton said:
    William Lorimer (April 27, 1861 – September 13, 1934) was a United States Senator and Representative from the State of Illinois. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/William_Lorimer_(politician)
