Kennedy, Dick Conlon opened it. Gunther didnt care. As for Dick, he breathed easier after checking the contents. It appeared that the $12,000 solicitation which Conlon had just supervised for the Democratic study group ( DSG) had gone into the mails without hitch. Dick Conlon is staff director for the DSG, which is an organization af about 140 Democratic house liberals. DSG currently seeks to raise about $200,000 to help its members and other liberal Democratic candidates for the House get elected in November. DSGs mail solicitation is typical of current political fund drives. Candidates and political groups of both parties and various hues rely more and more on the kind of scientific mass mailing pioneered in commercial sales efforts. Forces backing Sen. George McGoverns Presidential bid are said to have the biggest and best liberal givers list ever compiled, Gunther the cats job, in his role as a noncontributing entry on the DSG mailing list, is to make sure everything has been properly folded p1 ?nd stuffed jv the PinteLr-letter wag addressed him to make certain the proper form letter and return envelope were enclosed. In this particular mailing, Sen. Kennedys part was considerably more important. First, his name went on the outside of the cream colored envelope to make sure it got opened and not thrown out as junk mail. Second, he had a letter inside, addressed to "Dear Friend. It started: "Twelve years ago John Kennedy defeated Richard Nixon with a call for change only to see his legislative proposals blocked by a reactionary Congress, Kennedy said. "We cannot let history repeat itself. Then came the pitch for money, to be parcelled out by DSG to help liberal Democratic candidates beat their Republican opponents. The mailing over Kennedys name went out to 100,000 persons, on DSGs own list of friends and past donors plus other liberal lists including that of Americans for Democratic Action. The cost including printing and third class postage was about 12 cents per letter. s |
