...makes good in the West. Even the elements assisted in a noticeable congealing process as the first citizen of that boisterous, windy, middle western metropolis blew into town. For there persists a feeling that Mr. Thompson has vulgarized bigotry and ignorance,--a thing wholly abominable to the Bostonian tradition of suppression. "More and taller flag poles", is "Big Bill's" opening contribution to Americana. "All the better to sit upon," is the only reply from the birth place of that typically American pastime...
...total anachronism. Josef Paul Cukoschay (Jack Sharkey), Boston sailor, demonstrated the same thing some months ago (TIME, Oct. 25). At that time, all that Mr. Sharkey won was the right to meet Mike McTigue (TIME, March 14); from whom he won the right to meet his fellow Bostonian, Edward James Maloney; from whom he won the right to meet onetime Champion Jack Dempsey; from whom, last week, he was getting ready to try to win the right to meet Gene Tunney, actual champion du monde...

...anyone who knows how sensitive about such matters the true Bostonian is, how sincerely the readers of the Transcript feel such a blow, this item of news shadows the flight of Lindbergh, makes the flood a mere incident, and destroys the importance of Bozo's return to this hub of greater Boston. Small wonder that sleepless heads beat upon the blanched pillow of Beacon Hill; that hatred of Sacco and his partner in disaster faded as this news flashed. Many even forgot the fight to remove the Chevrolet sign from Park Square as they meditated upon the myth of Mary...
