[7] Mayor Daley banned Bauler from attending public functions for a time shortly after the quote was published.

[12] Bauler had an early career in boxing, and contrary to the claim made above it has been argued that he first acquired the nickname "Paddy" while in the ring as no one without an Irish name would be taken seriously.

[14] Paddy first ran for 43rd ward alderman in 1925, at which time he was a timekeeper at the County Treasurer's Office, although he was defeated by Republican incumbent Arthur F. Albert, 6,936 votes to 4,193.

[18] Bauler operated a speakeasy at Willow and Howe streets during prohibition and once prohibition was repealed became the first person to obtain a liquor license in Chicago[19] His two-story political office on North Ave. and Sedgwick avenues was also a saloon called De Luxe Gardens.

"[25] In 1933 he shot two Chicago police officers[26] (non-lethally) because, in his words "...they swore at me and called me a fat Dutch pig".

[22] From an early age he was also friends with Charlie Weber, who played a prominent role in the politics of the area and would eventually serve as alderman for the nearby 45th ward from 1955 to his death in 1960.
