Hughes May Campaign for Senate

H. Stuart Hughes, professor of History, would neither deny nor affirm yesterday reports that he will run for U.S. Senator from Massachusetts. Hughes may enter the already hotly contested Democratic primary or run on an independent ticket.

Reportedly, Hughes hopes such a campaign might focus attention on the issues of disarmament and world peace. A Faculty sponsor of Tocsin, he is on record as favoring unilateral initiatives.

Hughes' only comment yesterday was that the possibility of his candidacy is now "under consideration." Among the several groups which are willing to support him is Pax, a movement interested in peace-minded candidates and direct electoral action.
