Democrats Hear Speakers At Field Day In Biddeford
At Alumni field in Biddeford on Sunday hundreds attended the 19th annual Democratic field day where most major candidates spoke. Lucia Cormier of Rumford was ill and unable to attend. Senator Edmund S. Muskie served as master of ceremonies after opening remarks by Mayor Clement H. Deschambault. Congressman James C. Oliver, seeking re election, urged backing for a stronger M 60 machine gun contract and passage of a distressed area bill. Fellow candidate Governor Frank Coffin contrasted party platforms and faulted Republicans for lacking a work oriented program.
