Election
Incumbent Democratic mayor Meredith P. Snyder had previously been elected in 1919 and was running for a fourth term. He was challenged by Republican George E. Cryer, who attacked Snyder for being corrupt and was supported by the Los Angeles Police Commissioner and the Los Angeles Times. Cryer stated that he was a non-politician and would conduct the business of Los Angeles "like any other business... quietly, effectively, efficiently." Former city councilmember Boyle Workman also challenged Snyder for the seat.
