Scope and content
On Saturday September 6, 1952 a sound truck caravan carrying the Pierce County Youth for Cain set out from the Winthrop Hotel to drum up support for Senator Harry Cain's re-election. The Senator's daughter, Marlyce "Candy" Cain, handed out candy canes from a small basket, as various speakers took turns at the microphone. Cain supporters taking part in the caravan included Harry Cain Jr. (second from left), "Candy" Cain (at center with basket) and Bill Brown (second from right). Senator Cain was unseated by Henry M. Jackson in the fall 1952 election. (TNT, 9/5/1952, p.C-11)
