Support Candidates He also laid down four main functions of these committees: 1. they are set up so as to seek the most desirable candidates for political offices at all levels of government: 2. the committees should actively support and iwork for the candidates during land after their nominations, and I at election time; 3. they should acUve\y promote trie interest ot voters in becoming enrolled in the party; and 4. the committees are designed to develop a phil- osophy of government within the individual, and a means by which that philosophy may be continually renewed in the light of current conditions. Individuals Develop Philosophy Ayer believes that a person should develop a strong and un- wavering political philosophy; the person should try to build up his party in the light of his philosophy. This, he noted, was a contributing factor in the grad- ual swing of the state of Maine toward the Democratic party. Another reason for the switch was the fact that Maine is and has been in very poor economic shape, and the Democrats have promised that they would make determined efforts to do some- thing about it. • Unions Provide Money Ayer made numerous person- al statements in reply to certain questions raised by the students. At one point, he declared. "I am opposed to anything that limits my freedom, so long as I exer- cise my rights, and respect the rights of others." In another instance, he assured one student that the labor unions in this area were extremely in- • XMtf is kindest to your taste" says TV's George Gobel.
