This was the final Boston mayoral election for a two-year term, and that was partisan in nature; a new city charter adopted in 1909 made the mayoral term four years, and made Boston municipal elections non-partisan.[2]
Hibbard was inaugurated on Monday, January 6, 1908.[3]
Note: In October, John A. Coulthurst was selected as the Independence League candidate, and he resigned his position as secretary of the Democratic state committee.[4] His still garnered some votes in the Democratic primary.
