Artists and Writers for Hughes.

H. Stuart Hughes ran as the independent candidate in the U.S. Senate race in Massachusetts in 1962 against Democrat Edward M. Kennedy and Republican George Cabot Lodge. A Harvard professor, Hughes sought the peace and progressive vote and was called the "spokesman for a humane and positive approach to our national and international problems" by his supporters. Walter Grossmann, Librarian at Widener Library, was chairman of the auction of artists' and writers' works which was held on Oct. 19th in Cambridge, Mass. and raised $10,000 for the Hughes campaign.
