"Two young Republican Clubs cannot exist on the Harvard campus," Alec B. Dawson '59, president of the Harvard Young Republican Club stated last night.

The HEC was granted a charter by the State Committee of the Massachusetts Republican Party last July 16 at what Dawson called "a poorly attended meeting of the State Committee in the middle of the summer, when many HYRC supporters were absent."
Dawson said the State Committee, which had refused HEC applications three times previously, relented this summer because "it is granting charters to nearly everybody who asks for one between now and November in an effort to maintain party unity until the election."
