Rep. Luce: ‘I’ll run, and win’
Greenwich, Connecticut (UP) –
Rep. Clare Boothe Luce (R-CT) said last night that she “certainly will run and win” in the coming Congressional election and scoffed at reports that she feared a “purge” at the polls by CIO Political Action Committee chairman Sidney Hillman.
Her announcement followed reports that she was considering not seeking the Republican renomination because of the resignation of her political advisor, J. Kenneth Bradley, as chairman of the State Central Committee, at the insistence of Governor Raymond Baldwin.
