Primer Alcalde - Ben S. Dowell 1873 - 1875

La Ciudad de El Paso fue incorporada por la Legislatura de Texas el 17 de mayo de 1873. En las elecciones del 12 de agosto, Dowell fue elegido como alcalde, con seis regidores. Sus primeras preocupaciones eran por la seguridad del suministro de agua, las definiciones de crimenes y sus castigos, la división de la ciudad en tres barrios y el diseño de un sello de la ciudad. Dentro de un mes, tres regidores renunciaron y un cuarto fue descalificado, por lo que en octubre hubo otra elección para cubrir las posciones. Durante su mandato, Dowell mantuvo correspondencia con el alcalde de El Paso Del Norte sobre el cambio del del río que era la frontera internacional. El alcalde mexicano propuso que acordaran una revisión de la línea, pero Dowell insistió en que tales decisiones solo eran autoridad de Washington y la Ciudad de México. Así que un posible acuerdo sobre la dificultad del Chamizal se pudo haber evitado con un saludo de mano a través del río. Dowell corrio para la reelección en 1874, pero fue derrotado por el abogado M.A. Jones sobre la cuestión de si los perros deben ser reentrenados; Jones apoyó un honorario y un alojamiento de licencia y ganó, 33 a 17. El frágil gobierno de la ciudad se desmoronó al año siguiente, revivido hasta 1880. Alrededor de ese tiempo, Dowell estaba sirviendo como comisionado del condado, después de haber sido elegido en 1878. Además de sus muchas propiedades en la ciudad, Dowell operaba un rancho en el Upper Valley. Él y Juana tuvieron cinco hijos: Mary, nacida en 1854, que se casaría con Warner Phillips; Juan, nacido en 1862; Nehemías, nacido en 1866; Elías, fecha de nacimiento desconocida; y Richard, nacido en 1875. Mary y Warner Phillips tenían un rancho en la tierra de su padre cerca de la actual intersección de Doniphan y Mesa. Sus dos hijos pequeños - Ben Dowell Phillips y John Newton Phillips - estaban cerca de la edad de los hermanos menores de Mary. Los descendientes de Mary continuaron viviendo en El Paso. http://www.elpasohistory.com/elpasohist/2-uncategorised/79-benjamin-s-dowell

Charles Edgar Kelly, Mayor, El Paso,TX circa 1911

KELLY, CHARLES EDGAR (1863–1932). Charles Edgar (Henry) Kelly, El Paso political leader, son of William H. and Mary (Woods) Kelly, was born in Fayette, Jefferson County, Mississippi, on June 11, 1863. He studied pharmacy at the Sisters of Charity Hospital in New Orleans and became a registered pharmacist. In 1883 he moved for his health to El Paso, where he later established the Kelly-Pollard Retail and Wholesale Drug Company. He was elected county treasurer four times between 1902 and 1910 and formed a political alliance with Joseph U. Sweeney, mayor of El Paso, who headed a strong Democratic party machine known as "the Ring." Rivalry within the Ring resulted in two factions, a reform group opposing open gambling and prostitution, and another group disposed to maintain the status quo. After the death on August 14, 1910, of Mayor W. F. Robinson, the city council appointed Kelly mayor; he was elected in 1911 and 1913 and served until 1915. Although he was accused of "bossism," Kelly's administration in practice was fiscally responsible. It assumed municipal acquisition of the privately owned waterworks, extended street lighting and paving, reduced the cost of fire insurance, voted funds for the construction of schools, and supported the building of Scenic Drive, which became a tourist attraction. Early in his administration the Mexican Revolution often threatened the welfare and safety of Americans living in El Paso. Mayor Kelly made national headlines when, in an El Paso hotel, he disarmed Francisco (Pancho) Villa, who had vowed to kill Gen. Giuseppe Garibaldi. With the revolution continuing to spill over into El Paso, Kelly demanded help, including military help, from the federal government. In a letter dated March 11, 1912, to President William H. Taft, he asserted that federal officials in El Paso were "doing everything to avoid irritating" our Mexican neighbors "rather than protecting American lives and property." As a result of his complaint, the United States government provided a show of force that brought about the desired effect. In the mayoral election of 1915 Kelly and his aldermanic team were defeated by a strong coalition of reformists, headed by Tom (Thomas Calloway) Lea, Jr.qv Though Kelly never ran for public office again, he was appointed by Governor James E. Ferguson to the board of regents of the University of Texas in March 1917 and served in that capacity until June 1923. In his honor a building at the University of Texas at El Paso has borne his name since 1921. Kelly brought the Texas Democratic convention to El Paso in 1914. He was a Catholic and a member of the Benevolent and Protective Order of Elks, the Knights of Columbus, the Loyal Order of the Moose, and several civic and social clubs. He married Miss Willie Word, a teacher, on May 27, 1897, and they had four daughters. Kelly died on July 26, 1932, and is buried in Evergreen Cemetery, El Paso. https://tshaonline.org/handbook/online/articles/fke76

Mayor - Richard M. Dudley 1923-1925 - El Paso, Texas

Mayor 1923-1925. Richard M. Dudley, engineer and El Paso mayor, was born near Waco, Kentucky, on January 1, 1862, the son of a Baptist clergyman. He helped build the New York harbor and later directed construction of the Chihuahua and Pacific Railway and the Mexico and Northwestern Railway, while in a Mexican partnership. In New York he built up his own contracting business and in 1896 married Fannie Moore of Tarrytown, New York; the couple had no children. In 1912 Dudley permanently settled in El Paso, Texas, where he organized the Texas Bank and Trust Company, which was later merged into the First National Bank. He was twice elected as a Democrat to the state legislature and was in his second term when he became embroiled in a bitter city campaign. The Ku Klux Klan was making a strong resurgence in Texas and controlled the school board in El Paso. As the anti-Klan mayoral candidate, Dudley was elected with his entire alder manic slate in an electoral setback from which the Klan never recovered. Dudley's administration was noteworthy for the construction of public buildings and recreational facilities, and he became the only mayor of El Paso to be elected without opposition when he ran for a second term. He was sworn in on April 16, 1925, but died in an El Paso hospital on May 1 of that year after undergoing ulcer surgery.
