Cold Party. During his Senate campaign, Brooke responded to the exaggerated threat of white backlash by taking the unusual step?for him?of raising the racial issue. He condemned both Stokely Carmichael and Georgia's Lester Maddox as "extremists of black power and white power." Brooke swamped Chub Peabody by 1,213,473 to 744,761 votes and took the Senate seat occupied for 22 years by Brahmin Leverett Saltonstall...
...Peabody is a problem," a Young Dem's official noted before the meeting began, "because of his unreserved support of the administration in Vietnam. Chub is not as close to the students as he once...
Brooke, one of the most successful vote getters in Massachusetts history, will be opposed by Endicott ("Chub") Peabody, 46, an unimpressive if well-meaning former Governor who was ignominiously defeated for nomination by his own Lieutenant Governor in the 1964 primary. This year Peabody won the Democratic nomination after a bruising battle with Boston's two-term mayor, John Collins, 47, an icy pragmatist whose political strength is based largely in the city, where he has mounted a brilliant if bloodless attack on urban renewal problems. Collins, a polio victim who is usually confined to a wheelchair, relied extensively...

Peabody, who won the convention but lost the primary two years ago, while he was still Governor, now faces a bitter duel with Boston's Mayor John Collins, who angrily claimed that he had been "jobbed" by party leaders. McCormack, nephew of U.S. House Speaker John McCormack, faces an easier race against former J.F.K. Aide Kenneth O'Donnell. Chief gainers from the Democratic infighting: Attorney General Edward Brooke, all-but-certain G.O.P. nominee...
...Saltonstall, 73, who is retiring from the U.S. Senate at year's end. Collins became mayor in 1960 by beating a strong Democratic rival backed by John F. Kennedy, has proved a tough, untainted administrator. His principal challenger at the June 10 Democratic nominating convention will be Endicott ("Chub") Peabody, 46, who was beaten in his primary bid for re-election as Governor two years ago, and has since taken elocution lessons to develop a more forceful speaking style. The likely G.O.P. opponent: State Attorney General Edward W. Brooke, also 46, who has been accused by conservative Republicans...
