Sullivan Hits Flanagan and Hecklers; Embraces "Lampy" as Campaign Ends

Carr Favored; Maguire Given Even Chance in Today's Balloting

With a final airing of their dirty linen, local politicos concluded their campaign for city offices last night as Cambridge prepares to cast its votes in the final election today.

City Councillor Michael A. Sullivan took a few parting shots at his opponent for the Ward 6 seat on the Council, William (Dice Shooting 'Bill') Flanagan, at a rally in Putnam Square.

To the cheers of his supporters, Mike told how he had to fight off five Flanagan "hatchet men" before he could speak at another rally.

"This is what the Harvard Lampoon thinks of me," Mike shouted as he waved a reprint of a cartoon in a recent edition of the funny magazine which portrayed him in a coat of armor driving out the snakes of radicalism from Cambridge.

At the rally, Richard M. Russell '14 termed his opponent in the mayoralty campaign, Mayer John W. Lyons, a "waster, libeler, and slanderer," and called upon the voters to save Cambridge from "bankruptcy and ruin." Lyons recently lost a $12,000 libel suit to John D. Lynch whom he had libelously attacked.
