Most Of the Boston newspapers are
opposed to Mayor Curiey's re-eiec-
ton, and several of them are attack
ing him bitterly. The Mayors reply
has been to threaten to sue for libel
The Mayor is also being attacked by
the Boston finance Commission, but
the efforts Of the commission to dis
credit him do not appear to be sue
cessful.
Altogether there are now six norni-
nees in the field for the Mayoralty.
While all are directing their attacks
against Mayor Curley, each one is
also making unkind remarks against
the others in the field, and the cam
paign is one Of general abuse.
Representatives Peter F. league
and James A. Gallivan' have been
charged by the Mayor with seeking
an opportunity to desert the Presi-
dent when he will need their aid to
force the aliens in the country to
serve under one of the allied flags.
James Oneal, the socialist candi-

ting that one Of them will defeat the
