Armstrong, Edward
2016
He told me on his last two election nights, \"I'd pray I'd lose because I didn't want to quit.\" The Armstrong Ring, which then ran the city, was named for long time Mayor Edward Armstrong. It made common cause, but sometimes clashed with, the Courthouse Ring based in DeLand. Armstrong - who was referred to in the pages of this newspaper as \"10-Cent Ed\" because of the rule that city workers kick back 10 percent of their salary to the mayor's slush fund - was about to start his fifth term in office when he died in 1938. His lieutenants carried on in his footsteps. [Long] was elected on a platform of changing this and did what he promised to do. With characteristic modesty in later years, he wrote to the News-Journal to complain that \"the headline 'Hart Long cleans up gambling corruption' gives me far more credit than I deserve.\" He then listed his many allies.

Lane: The Great City Hall Standoff was 80 years ago
2016
The governor \"laughed robustly\" when informed of the move by a reporter, the Daytona Beach Morning Journal reported. \"Oh ho, that's fine, that tickles me,\" [David Sholtz] said. \"CITY HALL AN ARMED FORTRESS ... COPPERS HOLD RIOT GUNS AT WINDOWS ... Mayor [Irene Armstrong] Commands Police to Occupy City Hall ... Resists Expulsion Edict Charging Incompetency.\" \"It will soon blow over,\" was the calming headline of Daytona Beach Evening News' editorial a few days into the crisis. Which didn't sound convincing, but it is what happened.
