'If he was racist, none of us would support him.' --a Hispanic leader on Flynn
Though scheduled campaigning by the candidates ended at a rally in Dorchester last night, workers in every camp are planning to phone potential supporters throughout the day, and some will drive handicapped and elderly voters to the polling places.
The candidates are planning the following today:
* Lawrence S. DiCara '71 will vote between 10 and 10:25 a.m. at All Saints Church in Dorchester, spokesman Karen McCurdy said yesterday. She added that the DiCara campaign has been identifying voters for two weeks and will call them today. DiCara will tour different polling spots around the city during the day before watching the results from Chelsea's on State St., McCurdy said.
* David I. Finnegan will vote at 8 a.m. in West Roxbury. A Finnegan spokesman said yesterday that workers polled possible voters last night. Finnegan will await results in the Park Plaza Hotel's ballroom.
* Raymond L. Flynn will vote at 8 a.m. at the L. Street Bath House in Dorchester. Flynn spokesman Frank Costello said yesterday that the campaign has identified 35,000 possible Flynn voters and about 2000 workers will use phones and knock on doors to get out the vote. Flynn will await results at the Boston Teachers' Union hall in Dorchester.
* Dennis J. Kearney '72 will vote at Bradley School in East Boston at 9 a.m. and then will spend "a quiet day with his family." Kearney spokesman Lisa DcAmelio said yesterday. Spokesman Gregg Wilson said yesterday that the Kearney campaign is counting on votes in Wards One through Three--East Boston, Charlestown, and the North End--and will keep track of voters at the polls as they sign in.
Workers will phone voters who haven't yet cast their ballots. Wilson added.
* Melvin H. King will vote at 8 a.m. at Hynes Auditorium on Boylston Street. Spokesman Jacqueline Dee said yesterday that at least 2500 workers will work in 150 precincts around the city.
At 50 predominantly Black and Hispanic precincts, workers will try to bring out the vote through phones and door-to-door polling. Dee said, adding that workers will phone potential supporters at the 100 other precincts.
In Roxbury, a predominantly Black neighborhood where King's support is strongest, the campaign will use 20 vans, three buses, and more than 80 cars to drive voters to polling places. Dee said.
King will be at the Parker House on Tremont and School Streets tonight to await results.
