Harry Choate Foster[1] (August 27, 1871 – March 5, 1917) was an American politician who served as a member of the Massachusetts General Court and as mayor of Gloucester, Massachusetts. He was expelled from the Massachusetts House of Representatives in 1916 for conduct unbecoming a member of the General Court after he collected money from people interested in pending legislation.
