Conte for Senate Drive Finds the Victim Flattered
Congressman Silvio O Conte of Pittsfield resisted calls to seek the Republican nomination for U S Senate against Edward Kennedy. Grassroots petitioners in Melrose collected about 200 signatures and plan to send completed sheets to Conte. Conte, sidelining the idea, said the race would depend on the candidate, and noted campaign spending questions in the 1st Congressional District. He will campaign locally over the weekend while resuming duties in Washington after early primaries.
