pretty sure it was James Micheal Curley Evacuation day was his way of getting the Irish holiday in Boston of St. Patricks day

It was James Micael, as he is known in this area. Ther have been many stories aabout him over the years, paricularly as the related to his coddling the "Irish vote". He told people to "vote early and vote often", which basically meant they might have been called upon to cast a second vote in his favor. A problem with this tact was that the Boston Election Commission found votes cast in the names of deceased people from his following.
