Russell Opens Campaign In Tenth District Speech Next Saturday
Worcester reports John E. Russell will open the campaign in the tenth congressional district with a Spencer speech next Saturday evening. He aims to approach within 50 to 400 votes of election to unsettle the incumbent. Rice’s letter of acceptance is not yet written, and district committee control is disputed after a nomination error left Forest E. Barker off the list. Bates allies hold the organization to counter Rice, while E. F. Thompson is named U S inspector for the election at party urging.
