will candidates for mayor, city councillor, and school today in a significant but unsuccessful preliminary election. Observes predict a turnout, with only 30 to 40 per cent of the city's 300,687 registered voters going to the polls. In the mayoralty race, even his concede that incumbent John F. Collins will draw the greatest number of votes, but by capturing the second place on the Nov. 5 ballot, they hope to follow the trail to success that Collins himself climbed in 1959. They acknowledge that they have agreed among themselves to support whoever comes in second. Most likely this will be City Councillor Gabriei F. Piemonte, who trailed Collins by only 2640 votes in the last primary. When he was re-elected to the City Council two years ago, Piemonte received the largest number of votes of any candidate in either the primary or the November election. He is the only mayoralty candidate this year to try to build a positive image of himself while criticizing Collins.
The other candidates--State Representative Julius Ansel (the dark horse), City Councillor Patrick F. McDonough, and William P. Foloy--have concentrated almost exclusively on attacking Collin's administration. Their strategy may be considered a tribute to Collins's wisdom in the 1959 primary, when Senate President John Powers was heavily favored. Collins built his campaigns around Powers, not around issues, and was elected mayor by a record margin. All four candidates assail Collins substantially the same grounds. They disparage his claim to have lowered the tax rate by $96, pointing to a new sewer service charge and higher water rates. They ask the reduction of MTA fares along with the dismissal of general manager Thomas J. McLernon, whom Collins appointed. And they attack the mayor's urban-renewal program, which they describe as heartless and unrealistic. Despite the scope of their indictment Collins's opponents have not waged very vigorous campaigns. The mayor seems content to stand on his record of building a "New Boston," and his responsibilities, in any event, make it difficult to get out and meet the voters. As a result, the mayoralty contest has generated relatively little excitement.
The city council race has, if anything, generated less. Although candidates are seeking approval, the seven incumbent city councillors are considered sure to be re-elected, and the 31 other candidates--none of whom, apparently, has either the financial backing or the inclination to campaign seriously--will share the 11 other places on the November ballot.The voting for the school committee is being watched primarily as a reflection of white opinion on the of do faste segregation in Boston's public schools. Although civil rights leaders have began a drive to register an estimated 15,000 who are eligible to vote, it will not bring results in time for today's elections. Mrs. Louise Day Hisks, the committee chairman, is expected to lead the ticket as a result of her firm stand against the NAACP. Since one of the 11 candidates for the school committee must be it may be Arthur Gartland, the only committeeman to acknowledge that do faste segregation exists.The polls will be in the city's from a.m. to p.m. workers will begin the vote in the around 9 a.m. and any trends should be apparent soon thereafter. Complete results will not be available until late is the evening.Of the 54 candidates whose names are on the ballet, only--George P. , Jr., running for city --is a Republican. He party afflictions are listed, but it has been 15 years since a member of the GOP has been elected to municipal office in Boston
