POLITICAL NOTES: Again, Gillis

Out of Salem Jail, brash and blustering as ever, marched Andrew Joseph (“Bossy”) Gillis, red-headed roughneck Mayor of Newburyport, Mass., having served his two-month term for violating ordinances of the Newburyport town council (TIME, Sept 3 et seq.’). Newsmen surrounded him. After “bawling out one of them for a story he had not liked. His Honor joined his friends, the Newburyport fire chief and superintendent of streets, and drove away to get refreshments and see a football game.
