==Boston fire commissioner== In 1906, Daly resigned from the Army and returned to Boston, where he entered the bond brokerage business and served as an assistant football coach at Harvard. On August 18, 1910, Boston Mayor [[John F. Fitzgerald]] appointed Daly to the position of Fire Commissioner. He took office on September 16, 1910, following confirmation from the civil service commission.<ref name="Boston Globe"/> He was removed from office by Fitzgerald on January 26, 1912. According to Fitzgerald, Daly was dismissed because he had neglected to sign paperwork approving a pension for John J. Carney, a former member of the department, before the man died. Daly contended that the reason for his removal was political, stating that "there has never existed any honest or proper reason for the Mayor's desire to remove me from office...He wished promotions, transfers, appointments and contracts awarded in a manner which did not seem to be in the best interests of the city... The grossest administration would have been very acceptable provided the political machine could have milked the department for the countless favors it lives on".<ref name=Fired>{{cite news |url=https://www.newspapers.com/clip/106674337/mayor-removes-daly-cole-for-fire-head/ |title=Mayor Removes Daly, Cole For Fire Head |newspaper=The Boston Daily Globe |pages=1, [https://www.newspapers.com/clip/106674432/mayor-removes-daly-cole-for-fire-head/ 2] |date=January 27, 1912 |access-date=2022-07-31 |via=Newspapers.com}}</ref> Daly opposed special pensions "as a matter of principle" and contended that Carney, who had not yet completed his probationary period, had not died as a result of anything related to his duties with the fire department (Carney contended that his illness was caused by getting soaked while putting out a fire and not being able to change into dry clothes for several hours).<ref name="Fired"/><ref>{{cite news |url=https://www.newspapers.com/clip/106671717/daly-opposed-special-pensions/ |title=Daly Opposed Special Pensions |newspaper=The Boston Daily Globe |page=9 |date=January 30, 1912 |access-date=2022-07-31 |via=Newspapers.com}}</ref>

==Military career== In 1912, Daly sought reinstatement into the Army through action of the [[United States Congress]].<ref name="Berth"/> Daly's reinstatement was strongly opposed by Representative [[James Michael Curley]], who attacked Daly for having failed in his prior duties (specifically the matter of John J. Carney) and stated that Daly was only able to get a bill introduced through his Harvard connections. He was also opposed by Representative [[James Robert Mann (Illinois)|James Robert Mann]], who disagreed with the practice of restoring officers to the Army and also criticized Daly's lack of success following his departure from the Army. Representatives [[Andrew J. Peters]], [[Augustus P. Gardner]] [[Samuel W. McCall]] spoke on Daly's behalf, as did Representative [[William F. Murray]], who had lost his chance for a West Point appointment to Daly. [[Chief of Staff of the United States Army|Army Chief of Staff]] [[Leonard Wood]] also supported Daly's reinstatement. The bill passed shortly before the [[62nd United States Congress]] died and was signed by President [[William Howard Taft]] on March 4, 1913.<ref>{{cite news |url=https://www.newspapers.com/clip/106672087/daly-restored-to-the-army/ |last=Robinson|first=Norborne|title=Daly Restored To The Army|newspaper=The Boston Daily Globe |location=Washington |page=11 |date=March 5, 1913 |access-date=2022-07-31 |via=Newspapers.com}}</ref>
