CCA Endorses Fifteen Candidates For Council, School Committee

The Cambridge Civic Association has recently made public a list of 15 candidates for City Council and School Committee whom the organization has endorsed in municipal elections to be held Nov. 3.

CCA-endorsed candidates for City Council include Edward A. Crane '35, Joseph A. DeGuglielmo '29, Bernard Goldberg, Richard E. McLaughlin, Manuel Rogers, Edward T. Sullivan, Ralph W. Ward, Mrs. Cornelia B. Wheeler and Mrs. Pearl K. Wise. The candidates for School Committee are William S. Barnes, Assistant Dean of the Law School, Hester E. Byrnes, Joseph G. Dever, Mrs. Catherine T. Ogden, Gustave M. Solomons and Charles M. Sullivan.

Hans F. Loeser, president of the CCA, in announcing the endorsements, characterized the organization's slate as "one of the strongest we have ever been able to present."

Notably absent from the CCA list are Mayor Thomas McNamara, elected last January with some CCA support, and Councillor Al Vellucci. Crane, DeGuglielmo, Mrs. Wheeler and Mrs. Wise are currently members of the Council, while Edward Sullivan is a School Committeeman.

Candidates in Cambridge elections run as individuals or with the unsolicited endorsement of non-partisan groups like the CCA. There are no formal party affiliations on the municipal level.
