Last year, as acting Mayor for 16 weeks after James John Walker's flight, clean-cut, grinning little Joseph Vincent McKee was the idol, the White Hope of thousands of New Yorkers who mortally hate & fear the yoke of Tammany.

...vigorous police drive against parking automobiles all night on Cambridge streets has been instituted this fall by Captain Joseph J. Donahue of the Cambridge police.
