...chiefly relied on what Fox called the "old Bill Bates approach." Bates, the district's last Congressman, proposed to cater to the individual needs of every voter. Saltonstall called this the "people-to-people approach." It meant promising special favors for the shoe, fishing, leather, and electronics industries that make up the economy of the North Shore.
