Lawford Gains Favorable Welcome From Town's Democrats 6 The Fremont News-Messenger Wednesday, October 26, 1960 disappointed with the arrival were of a family delegate rather than the presidential candidate himself it was well hidden beneath a mask of excitement in the warm reception they showered on his sister. For nearly two hours she stood, in pumps, behind A gold high theatre rope before the stage in the American Legion Home and smiled enthusiastically at the 1,000 or more persons who pushed by to look closely at the wife of a famous movie actor and blood relative of a famous politician. The strain of thousands of miles of traveling on Jack's behalf was not evident in her manner. Strains of the tune 'High Hipes' rang from an organ in the background. SHE WORE impeccable white gloves and clasped warmly the extended hand of each and every person, flashing a pretty smile and offering personal greeting that would endear her to them for many a moon.

Easily recognizable from her pictures, she talks in the familiar family New England accent mixed with that of the West Coast, which has been home for several years, combined in a pleasing throaty voice. She presents the appearance of a welltrained anodel, standing startlingly erect. Freckle-faced, her skin is coated with an even tan from what was probably more restful days before the arduous campaigning began for brother Jack. Fremont has been a must on campaign itineraries for a number of political figures in this--the most important and competitive election year to date.

The scene at the Legion was near confusion in the opening minutes as women and men alike rose quickly from the chairs they grabbed on arrival while awaiting the lovely lady. Changes in plans were necessary two or three times before events moved smoothly. GALLONS of hot coffee and dozens of tempting cookies were served by ardent Democratic lady campaigners as the guests passed by the ereceiving line and on to the buffet. This reporter couldn't help wondering how many of the women attending were expecting one Phyllis Kirk who for many years played opposite Mr. Lawford in the "Thin Man" series and for equally as long was linked mistakenly with him as Mrs.

Lawford. Any resemblance between the ladies, both very attractive, would be far fetched. Nor is there any mistaking the Kennedy look in Mrs. Lawford. What's more, this reporter wondered "why that handsome Peter didn't come along" and there were a few other gals who thought that way, too! Anyway, it was an exciting event and it will probably be a time before we are so blessed again.
