HAND CULTIVATES CROP IN POLITICAL VINEYARD Knows What It Takes to Take the Cake By RON LAWRENCE Dafly Times Staff Writer There's an experiment being conducted in Delaware County that, if successful, could set a pattern for future elections. It simply is a hand shaking, door-knocking, literature- passing kind of campaigning for public office. The practitioner of this brand of campaigning is Henry Gouley, the Democratic hopeful for U.S. Congress from Delaware County. This distinguished appearing, well-dressed middle-aged man is becoming a common sight throughout, the county, from the rural areas to the densely populated sections of He may be seen on a sidewalk or on a front porch, in a beauty parlor or a restaurant, or anywhere people congregate.

Gouley's philosophy of campaigning simply is to meet the people whose votes he is seeking. "I'm doing it this way because I think the public gets to know the candidate and is more likely to consider him. There it nothing like a personal appearance and I can do it without any attacks on my opponent. For all practical purposes, hand-shaking and door- knocking campaigns are the- Democrats best bet in Delaware County. Gou ley readily admits that the powerful Republican machine makes elections cut and dried.

He Just as readily admits that the Democratic party is a week minority. As Gouley sees it there is only one way to place the Democrats in the commanding position and that is by his kind of campaigning- This reporter spent an hour one afternoon with Gouley in Chester's llth Ward. The retired attorney discarded pride and reservation as he went among the people. There was no room for modesty or shyness: In front of a supermarket, he stopped several persons as they entered and left, handed them pamphlets and cards and then talked unpretentiously to them. He asked them their opinions on national and international affairs, particularly the U-2 incident.

But he dwelled nostly; on medical aid for elderly persons and the cost of living. From there he went to a clothing store, where he was rebuffed momentarily when the proprietor thought he was a salesman. After that there were several more stores, a taproom and a restaurant, where Gouley passed out his literature to the diners and the waitresses and then ad- dressed them ill once. In a beauty parlor, be talked with women while they sal under dryers. He went from house to house, talking with housewives.

Whenever he saw someone on the street, he- would amble up to then? and shake their hand. There was little time for rest, although the weather was hot and There were few who scoffed at him or rejected his efforts to talk to them. Most listened intently and courteously and talked freely with him. Several looked suspiciously at him until they became convinced of his sincerity. Occasionally, he unwittingly introduced himself to a Republican worker, but their conflicts of political sentiments did not deter him.

He estimated he has talked with 5,000 people since he began campaigning the week after the April 26 primary election and of these only about 25 ignored him. Gouley has been averaging 250 conversations and introductioaf a day and hopes to talk with at least 50,000 persons by the November election. His campaigning has taken him to such odd places as commuter stations at 6 a.m., where he makes his pitch to woikers in between trains. Once, he rode train into Philadelphia, talking with the commuters. There is a lot more at stake than winning a seat in Congress.

A successful campaign by Gouley could alter drastically future political efforts in Delaware County.
