Reeves volunteer Henry R. O'Donnell said their rally was "like an old-time political rally with signs, a band and a big bass drum."
School committee candidates also did some last minute campaigning in the area yesterday.
"I handed out literature in Harvard Square this morning. We newcomers have to push to the very end," said committee candidate Alice L. Turkel.
Campaigning proceeded at a furious pace throughout the city yesterday.
Incumbent Councillor Katherine Triantafillou and challenger Henrietta A. Davis shook hands with pedestrians in Central Square and citizens at the Cambridge Senior Center, according to campaign aides.
"We don't want to look back Wednesday and wish we had done more work," Davis said. Bonnie Smith, campaign manager for council hopeful Marty Connor, said Connor was distributing leaflets at the Alewife and Porter Square subway stations. Spampinato said last minute efforts included "calling voters, checking our list of targeted voters, getting poll watchers and helping people to the polls." Council candidate Robert Winters, a Harvard math preceptor, said he sent a mass mailing to voters and shook hands in Central Square but would not campaign near campus. "It's absolutely fundamental that students should not play any role in a professor's outside political affairs," Winters said.
