Two prominent Massachusetts Democrats Edward J. McCormack and Endicott Peabody rallied audiences at opposite ends of the state last night for 1966 campaigns. McCormack, at the Crane Inn in Dalton, signaled he would run for governor, while Peabody, at a Statler Hilton dinner in Boston, outlined funds and plans to stay active in politics with possible U.S. Senate or gubernatorial bids.
