Six University Alumni Run for Governorships, Senate Positions

Voters in six different states will decide Tuesday on the merits of a set of Harvard graduates running for major political office this year. Of the University's three candidates for governorships, two are Republicans, and one is a Democrat. Three Law School alumni are trying for the Senate--two on the Democratic ticket and one for the G.O.P.

Harvard is once again represented in the race for governor of Massachusetts; Arthur W. Coolidge, a graduate of the Law School in 1906, is running on the Republican ticket opposing incumbent Paul A. Dever.

In Connecticut, G.O.P. Representative John Davis Lodge '25 is trying to win the governorship away from Chester Bowles, Democrat James Roosevelt '30 is opposing incumbent Earl Warren in the California gubernatorial race.

Senate Fights

Robert A. Taft, LL.B. '13, is fighting to retain his seat in the Senate from Ohio against Democrat Joe Ferguson. In Idaho, D. Worth Clark, a Law School graduate of 1925, is attempting to return to his former place in the Senate. He is opposed by Republican Herman Welker. The Vermont race for the Senate is between Democrat James E. Bigelow, LL.B. '35, and incumbent George D. Aiken.

Among the less important positions, there are a number of Harvard men running for the House of Representatives and for state posts. This is especially true in Massachusetts and the rest of the northeastern area.
