James Michael Curley 1874-1958, American political leader, b. Boston. He held many municipal offices, served (1902-3) in the Massachusetts legislature, and became a power in the Democratic party of Boston before he served (1911-14) in the U.S. House of Representatives. Curley—whose colorful personality and shrewd political manipulations steadily increased his popularity—served three terms as mayor of Boston (1914-18, 1922-26, 1930-34) before he was governor of Massachusetts (1935-37) and again U.S. Congressman (1943-46). After Curley was once more elected (1945) mayor of Boston, he was convicted (1946-47) of mail fraud. He served (1947) five months in prison before his sentence was commuted by President Truman. After he fulfilled his duties as mayor (1947-50) and was defeated (1949) for reelection to that post, Curley was given (1950) a full pardon by Truman.
