Seven Harvard Liberals and two Radcliffe New Dealers take the subway this morning for James M. Curley's headquarters at 333 Washington Street, Boston, where they will attempt to persuade him to take a specific New Deal platform and push it through the Democratic State Convention which meets this afternoon.
This impromptu pressure group fools that if it can persuade Curley to take a definite progressive, liberal stand it can spike the Republican Liberal guns under Leverett Saltonstall '14, former speaker of the State House of Representatives.
William Chambers '39 from Missouri, Robert Lane '39 of New York, Arthur Lane '39 of Belmont, Ralph Taylor '39 of Somerville, Joseph Goehern '40 of South Weymouth, Logan Bullitt '41 from Maine, Irving Lewis '39 of Dorchester, and Sara Cummins and Ethel Pollok, both from Radcliffe, hope to catch Curley writing the speech which he will deliver to the Convention this afternoon.
According to William Chambers '39 in an interview last night the group has no illusions about Curley's record, but feels that it is politically expedient to support him.
The group represents the Middle Class voting block which Curley has reached only slightly, but which might be a valuable asset in the coming campaign for governor.
