Rep. William A. "Billy" Glynn loomed as a certain winner in his blistering fight for a seat on the City Council as the scrappy legislator struck out again at "The narrow-minded bigots and fakirs whose committee plans to send Boston back to the dark ages when discrimination ran wild." Glynn was speaking against the committee known as the New Boston Committee.

Typical of the meetings being held for Representative Glynn will be one that will be held tonight at St. Marks Gym, 210 Townsend st., Ward 12. This rally is sponsored by colored friends of the fighting Representative. While in the legislature Glynn fought for all measures to benefit labor, the aged, and the veterans. He is particularly interested in the problems of young people. The Glynn Club is both a football and baseball team sponsored by the Representative. This is indicative of his real interest in young folks.

When he is elected to the City Council he pledges to continue to fight the fights of the "Little people" as he has fought them in the legislature. Glynn has always been available for information or assistance whenever he has been needed. This characteristic of "being always available" is expected to be a big factor when people cast their votes on Nov. 6.

Under the new set-up there will be only 9 City Councillors instead of 22 as in the past. Having one of the nine "always available" means a lot to the voter.

Many of the voters who voted in the primary voted for both Glynn and Banks as the election statistics showed. Rep. Glynn said at a rally at Boston University this week, "The New Boston Committee says they represent all groups in the city of Boston. If this was so why was Attorney Laurence Banks not endorsed by them?" No answer was forthcoming from the New Boston Committee late this week.
