If John Lupton a Down the line Nixon Man with a conservative record should by an Odd Chance win the senatorial primary against Weicker who is sometimes for Nixon and sometimes against him he would assuredly draw votes that would otherwise go to Independent Tom Dodd who thinks like Lupton on foreign policy matters even if he differs with him on firearms. So it is to Dodds advantage to have Weicker win. If Adaer Joe Duffey is the democratic senatorial nominee As seems possible and Weicker goes for the republicans Dodd would receive some right Wing votes in addition to the hard hat labor votes that at the regular school Board meeting tuesday evening the Board of education passed a Resolution which will place item 4 below before the voters of the school District at the september 14th school election.
