Political pointers and campaigning notes in Bridgeport
A well known Democratic leader predicts a 6000 to 8000 margin for Coolidge in Bridgeport. Leaders mock Walling as hopeless while fearing he may become a stronger third party force if elected. Lawrence Gil is viewed as the strongest local Democratic candidate for assessor. Voting machines are being demonstrated as campaigns weave through club events and card parties.
