...case is much the same with most of the other six incumbents in the race. Though their anti-rent control position may hurt them a little, Walter J. Sullivan (Ind.) and Edward A. Crane '35 (CCA) will probably top the ticket again and win election on the first round with votes from their respective bases among lower-income Irish and more affluent Irish. Vellucci will sweep up East Cambridge "number ones," add a few votes from Sullivan's surplus, get some more when weaker Italian and Portuguese candidates are eliminated, and make it into the winner's circle after...
Incumbent Thomas W. Danchy (Ind.) may also sweep into office on the surplus of Sullivan (a relative), if he hasn't already garnered enough "number ones" to win from his own North Cambridge base. Thomas H. D. Mahoney (CCA) should also win re-election with his "number ones" from the same base as Crane and a scattering of elderly votes from throughout the City...
...members of the current city council-Cornelia B. Wheeler (CCA) and Bernard Goldberg (Ind.)-are not running for re-election; where their votes go will be important in determining the other two members of the new council. In Wheeler's case, it is pretty clear: By a process somewhat akin to a laying-on of hands, she has been backing Robert P. Moncreiff, a former Rhodes Scholar and like her, CCA and a Republican. With this vote, Moncreiff seems to have a pretty good chance of election. The old Goldberg vote, on the other hand, will probably scatter; some...
GIVEN PR's aim of increasing minority representation, one of the more interesting questions about the race is the fate of the three black candidates: Thomas Coates (CCA), School Committeeman Gustave M. Solomons (CCA), and Henry F. Owen III (Ind.). Of the three, Coates appears to have the most strength. A former councilor, he began running again moments after he was defeated in 1967. Yet, if he or another black is to win, the black voters will have to mark their ballots one, two, three for the three black candidates. The frontrunner will probably still need some more support from...
...reported to have decided a week ago not to campaign for a one, two, three vote from the blacks. Whether the severely split black neighborhoods will do this without such prodding seems doubtful. Moreover, Coates or Solomons, in order to win, must either grab one of the four traditional CCA seats (an unlikely proposition considering the competition) or win as a fifth CCA revolution in City politics. So, at the moment, it is likely that Cambridge's blacks will fall just short of re-gaining representation on the council...
