'On the Spot' Reporter Covers Kennedy Campaign by Mary Jo Murray Editor's Note: Mary Jo travelled with the local press mixing unbiased reporting with cheering for Kennedy at every stop. By the time the motorcade ar rived at Aurora, slie felt the senator give her that Haven't we met before look as they shook hands. The re porter marks her day a resounding success except in Elmhurst where a portly policeman carried her off the stage as the crowd ruslied Kennedy. Chicago suburbs may be Republican, but DuPage, Kane and Will counties went all out to get a look at Senator John F. Kennedy Oct. 25. IN HIS OPENING SPEECH at O'Hare Inn, Des Plaines, at 9:30 a.m., a wry smile crept across the senator's face as he asserted We're going to take the Democratic message to West Dundee. A capacity parking-lot crowd laughed through their applause. A chain of maids lined the motel's glass frontage with We Are for You, Kennedy, All the Way signs. Mothers with infants in their arms and chil dren at their sides waved Kennedy posters despite the cool crisp morning air. Senator Paul Douglas, Judge Otto Kerner and Kennedy staff members ac companied the candidate in converti bles, leading a 30-car motorcade of police, security men and press buses. Adlai Was Bad, but Egad Libertyville extended a tremen dous welcome to Kennedy.

The Republicans offered a reverse demonstration with signs such as Adlai Was Bad. but Egad Passing through Lake Zurich the motorcade encountered 300 observers who appeared apathetic to the goings on. However, a large group of chil dren filed across a schoolyard carrying a 30-foot banner demanding Stop, We Can't Leave the School Grounds, Stop The caravan obediently slowed down. A dozen giggling housewives kidded the senator by pushing Nixon- Lodge boosters up and down. AT THE NEXT STOP, Kennedy spoke before 700 workers at .the Chi cago Aerial Industries in Barrington. A Welcome Kennedy platform in the parking lot was his only gesture of support. The workers chuckled when the senator grinned his appreciation to distinguished Republicans for lis tening to him. After the usual hand shaking routine, the campaign con tinued to Barrington High School where Kennedy received a substantial ovation. Moving on to the Meadowdale Shop ping Center, 7,500 showed a diverse se lection of home-made signs for Ken nedy. Thanks for Coming, Jack. In All 50's (states), It's Kennedy for '60s. Navy Wants Skipper Ken nedy. We Hope It's a Boy, Jack these slogans covered the area. But the entire right side of the crowd pre dominated in Nixon placards. Women clutching children had waited two hours for Kennedy. They cheered even though they could not hear him due to a faulty public address system. A ten-year- old sprightly ascended a tree 25 feet from Kennedys' stand and shouted That's right, Jack as if he could read the senator's lips. As Kennedy left, the women seemed to bubble over with satis faction. Kennedy hopped out of his car on the way to Elgin to shake hands with a workman at Woodruff Edwards Inc. He remained gaping at it long after the senator's departure and seemed to say He shook my dirty hand AT THE ELGIN SCHOOL of Beauty Culture students swarmed the Massachusetts senator.
