May Call Chicago Pastor The Rev. Ford
The Tremont Temple Baptist Church heard Rev. T. Ford of Chicago preach yesterday as speculation grew he may succeed Rev. Dr. Henson. Ford leads one of Chicago’s largest Baptist churches and is praised for preaching and church business sense. The deacons did not yet decide, though one member called him a strong candidate. A call before vacation end seems unlikely given the period of candidate visits.

Political Sidelights on Boston Elections and Party Factions
The Independence League may back James H. Vahey if he wins the Democratic nomination. The league is nearly defunct and has no permanent headquarters. Rumors say Senator Lodge might press the Republican committee to back a Mayor candidate. Salaries dominate expenses in reform groups while the Republican committee touts lower office costs. The new Democratic State Committee opens at 16 Beacon Street with Clifton Loring as executive secretary. Ex-Mayor Fitzgerald will stay hands off in the district attorney race. Donovan may back James A. Gallivan for mayor, while Senator Doyle leans toward Dennison and the Charlestown lawyer could face a compromise. ONeill, long opposed to Fitzgerald, is not eager to campaign vigorously.
