Incumbent mayor John F. Fitzgerald withdrew in December,[2] citing illness; in actuality, Curley and attorney Daniel H. Coakley forced Fitzgerald from the race after learning of his indiscretions with a cigarette girl, Elizabeth "Toodles" Ryan.[3]
Curley was inaugurated as mayor on Monday, February 2,[4] and intended to continue also serving in Congress. However, on February 25, after political pressure mounted to unseat him, Curley announced his resignation from Congress, retroactive to February 4.[5]
This was the last January-scheduled general election for Mayor of Boston; the next mayoral election was held in December 1917.
