Percy V. Long

Percy V. Long (March 26, 1870 – October 28, 1953) was the City Attorney of San Francisco for two periods, first from 1902 to 1906, and then from 1908 to 1916.[5] In September 1900, Long won the Republican nomination for Justice of the Peace, taking his bid to the convention floor to overcome a last-minute effort by party bosses to place a different name in nomination as part of a larger political deal.[1] During his service as city attorney, Long hired George Lull as an assistant in his office in 1908.[9] Towards the end of his service as city attorney, Long was "mentioned as a possible mayoralty aspirant",[10] but did not become a candidate.A Progressive Republican, Long was one of the directors of the 1924 United States presidential election campaign of Calvin Coolidge for President of the United States, denouncing efforts by the third-party candidacy of Robert M. La Follette to invoke Theodore Roosevelt as a model, which Long characterized as intended to cover up "the radical character of the La Follette campaign".
