Powerful speaker campaign funds roll in in midterm preview
A four part series notes House Speaker Tip O’Neill easily draws large funds while Republican challenger Frank McNamara raises 550000 from Massachusetts, Texas oil men, and conservative fundraisers. McNamara criticizes spending and relies on outside PACs to counter O’Neill’s fundraising edge. The district includes Harvard MIT and Boston University. O’Neill’s 1952 entry and 78 percent win frame the race.
