District Attorneyship Contest Shapes Norfolk Plymouth Politics
Republican leaders fear Governor Brackett may appoint Harvey H. Pratt of Abington to the vacant Norfolk and Plymouth district attorneyship. Pratt’s selection could tilt elections, while Judge Grover of Canton and Representative Harris of Bridgewater push competing bids. William O. Osborne of East Bridgewater emerges as favored by the Williams faction, with Arthur Lord of Plymouth withdrawing in his favor. Bar members back Pratt, creating a broad contest as predictions vary on the outcome.
