The honorable Johathan Caldwell, former mayor of Cincinnatti Ohio was visiting his daughter in Pittsburgh, during a highly contested mayoral election.
The reform candidate was Richard Martin, a popular judge.
Caldwell, who was part of the Cox machine in Ohio, didn't have much use for reform candidates. He told his daughter, "That fellow Martin will never get elected."
He was right. Martin never did become mayor of Pittsburgh.
Johnathan Caldwell was my great grandfather, and Richard Martin was my grandfather.
