Graduate Young Dems Endorse HHH-Muskie

NO WRITER ATTRIBUTED

The Harvard Law and Graduate School Young Democrats endorsed Hubert H. Humphrey for President Thursday night by a 17-10 vote.

The endorsement resolution--the first order of business for the club this year--condemned the war in Vietnam and the "gestapo-like tactics of the Chicago police and Mayor Daley." It expressed "regret" at the Vice President's conduct in these matters.

Stating that, "the Presidential election is too important to sit out," the resolution warned against the possible election of Richard M. Nixon, "a man who has never demonstrated sensitivity for the concerns we share," and praised Humphrey's tireless efforts for "positive and creative change."

Only 45 of the group's estimated 300 members attended the meeting, with only 27 remaining until the final vote.
