In 1913, Edward McCall was campaigning as the Democratic (Tammany) candidate for Mayor of New York -- but he was defeated in the November election.

Edward Everett McCall, unsuccessful Democratic (Tammany) candidate for Mayor of New York City; beaten in the November election by John Purroy Mitchel, a Fusion candidate. There are ten photos in the Bain/LOC photostream in which McCall appears.

I added him to Wikipedia last time: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Edward_Everett_McCall

Thanks Wystan. He looks like the perfect Tammany candidate, doesn't he? We'll fill in his name in the caption the next time we update the record. We're working hard to get corrections made to these records. Bear with us, and we'll get to as many as we can.

Edward Everett McCall (1863-1924) New York Supreme Court justice, and his wife, the former Ella F. Gaynor. In 1913, Edward Everett McCall was appointed by the governor to the Public Service Commission. in 1914 1913 also, Edward Everett McCall was running for mayor of New York City, with Tammany Hall backing. The daughters are Constance (standing) and Ella--Ella married William Maloney in 1915.

Fixed, thanks. I must have been conflating his name with that of writer Edward Everett Hale--totally different guys, obviously!

What is that on the right side of Constance's face?

If you look at the photo of Constance and the dogs, next to this, you can see that her hat has a veil; I assume it's probably the veil.

It is likely that McCall was named for the famous 19th-century orator Edward Everett (the windbag who shared the platform with Abraham Lincoln at the dedication of the Gettysburg Cemetery). That truly was an unflattering design on the veil that the young lady wore: it resembles a bad skin disease, or an attack of giant flying insects . . . .
