The following report is extracted from the American Magazine Newsweek of iugust 6th. Id. Note.

In Massachusetts, where the bitter battle between the Kennedy, MeCormack and Lodge dynasties is in full swing, the political surprise of the year erupted last week when upwards of 125,000 signatures petitioning a place on the November ballot for an independent candidate for the U.S. Senate were filed with city and tovm clerks. H. Stuart Hughes, grandson of late Chief Justice of the United States Charles ivan Hughes, Harvard history professor, and candidate of the state's major peace and disarmament grcups, had accomplished the impossible.

Using about 1,500 canvassers, mostly women and college students who belong to the Committee for a ‘Sane Nuclear Policy and Political Action for Peace, Hughes easily had garnered the 72,514 valid signatures of voters needed to earn a place on the ballot as the first statewide independent candidate since 1948, when the supporters of Henry A. Wallace put him on the state ballot for president.
