Abstract: In the Boston mayoralty election on December 18, the reform element won, ex-Congressman Andrew J. Peters, formerly assistant secretary of the treasury, being elected mayor by a plurality of about 10,000 voters over Mayor Curley, his nearest opponent in a bitter three-cornered fight. The victory of Mr. Peters, regarded as a representative of the Back Bay and business elements of the city, was due in large measure to the strong run made by Congressman James A. Gallivan, who by his vigorous “anti-gang” campaign against Mayor Curley drew from the latter many votes which doubtless could not have been attracted to any candidate regarded as “high-brow;” he ran only 10,000 votes behind Mayor Curley.
