Student Speakers Urge Election of Bacon at Cambridge Rallies in Practical Politics Work

Almost every evening students are telling local Republican rallies the "dope" on the governorship campaign. They are organized by the Practical Polities Committee in an effort to give them some actual experience in the great game of politics.

Each speaker is allowed from three to five minutes to express his own views on the Republican campaign. Neither the Committee nor Republican headquarters instruct him as to the contents of his speech; he composes it himself.

Among the men who have been active along this line are: Lincoln Bryant 2G, Charles R. Cherington '35, William L. Clark '36, George A. Dodge, 2d. '37, Francis D. Moorman '37, Vincent Palmer '35, Malcolm D. Perkins '86, and Robert L. Clifford 2G.

The work of the committee which is ander the leadership of Robert Grinnell '36, is of varied sort though it concerns itself largely with the "pick and shovel" end of the campaign. For instance, on Wednesday evening the committee is seeking 100 men who will act as ushers at the Rindge Technical School rally and help with its organization. Every day students are doing odd jobs at the Cambridge headquarters. On Election Day at least 100 men will serve as watchers in strongly Democratic wards and help transport voters to the polls.

This morning William M. Hunt, 2d. '36 will bring his radio car into service. Classes in Harvard Hall will find that the Thirty Years' War will be submerged beneath appeals for Bacon issuing forth from Hunt's amplifier. John McM. Case '36 is serving the committee as a newspaper man by reporting rallies for Boston and local papers.

Then there are about 20 men who are aiding Grinnell to prepare publicity and do some stenographic work. Among then are; Joseph F. Knowles, Jr. '36, Robert Amory '36, Oliver H. Straus '36. William W. Wolbach '38, and Sylvestor Cunningham '38.
