By NOBLE REED Balancing a cup of tea with a record of no spills in three weeks is the enviable accomplishment of Reginald H. Sullivan, Democratic Mayoralty candidate. He has attended tea parties in every section of the city nearly every afternoon for three weeks. And he thoroughly enjoys them, even though many times he has found’ himself the only male sipper in a crowd of 200. ("I wish I had time to attend more of these,” the City’s ranking bachelor said the other afternoon as he walked into a South Side garage where more than 200 women were poising their cups for his entrance. Asked why a garage was chosen for a tea party, the reception committee said there were no private residences or public buildings in that vicinity large enough for the crowd.
Other Candidates Vanish
Cups were stacked six deep on three large tables and as the pouring ordeal was started, Mr. Sullivan was ‘swallowed up” in the crowd of women well-wishers. Meanwhile, 14 other candidates
who attended the speaking program preceding the tea had vanished. But not the former Mayor. He takes his tea where he finds it, and with relish. ‘The thing I like best about campaigning for office is meeting people,” he said. “I enjoy talking with them and hearing their problems.” The people he talks with in his daily rounds from about 9 a. m. until 11 p. m. are not all Democrats, either. “I meet and shake hands with ‘many people on the streets every day that I know would never vote the Democratic ticket, but that doesn’t matter with me because they're all old friends, some of whom I went to school with years ago.” Strolls Delayed
It requires 15 minutes to half an hour for the former Mayor to walk one block downtown these hectic campaign days because nearly every other person he passes stops him to chat about palitics. “Hi; Reg,” came a voice from down the street. : Frank Cones, Republican candi_date for County Treasurer, grabbed Mr. Sullivan's hand and they exchanged enthusiastic greetings. The Republican candidate wished Mr. Sullivan every kind of luck except winning the election. “We've been good friends for 30 years,” the former Mayor remarked. He does a Id of campaigning over the phone. This gets him out of bed bright and early sometimes. “I answer phones and talk with callers all morning,” he said. ; Three days this week: his phone campaign work got out of hand and he missed his lunch altogether to get to a tea party on time.
Four Speeches a Day
Mr. Sullivan makes an average of four speeches a day, one or two at afternoon teas and two every night. Sometimes he speaks at three meetings in one night. “My main idea of campaigning for office is to assure people of a _ a business-like administration without favors to any special groups,” he said. The candidate spends several hours every day going through offices and stores, shaking hands with everyone from the proprietor to the janitor.
