...choice presented to Harvard voters by the Massachusetts gubernatorial race should be obvious from the fact that Mr. Curley is a veteran political buccaneer and Mr. Saltonstall is not.

Apparently it will continue tonight, in its self-appointed role of Station WLOW, as ardent campaigner for James Michael Curley, the American Legion, and the Cambridge Council. Thus far, nothing but enthusiasm has greeted the voice of reaction. Tune in at 7:30 o'clock...
