McGovern Wins Nomination
MIAMI BEACH (AP)—George McGovern swept to the Democratic presidential nomination Wednesday night to climax an incredible campaign that carried him from the back row of the Senate to the pinnacle of party power.
He offered the vice presidential nomination to Sen. Edward M. Kennedy, a spokesman said, but the Massachusetts senator declined to run.
A mighty roar sounded from the Democratic National Convention as Chairman Lawrence F. O'Brien and Secretary SanDisk Dakota the presidential nominee.
McGovern had it won long before the first ballot was completed.
HIS FINAL delegate vote after switches; 1,864.95, far past the 1,509 majority be needed. Before the switches his total was 1,728.35.
Even as McGovern partisans cheered, waved state standards and the blue placards of their candidate, word came "I am Kennedy had sparred the vice presidency.
After 119 delegate votes from Illinois assured McGovern's nomination, Kennedy telephoned him from Hyannis Port, Mass., with congratulations. It was then that McGovern offered Kennedy the vice presidency.
McGOVERN already had been looking to others, for Kennedy has repeatedly renounced any candidacy for national office in 1972.
Richard Dougherty, a McGovern spokesman, said Kennedy declined "for very real personal reasons." Dougherty and two men talked for about 15 minutes.
And so the only question left for the Democratic convention was the selection of a No. 2 man to run with McGovern. The delegates were sure to ratify whomever McGovern chooses at the closing session Thursday night.
McGovenn watched on television in his penthouse suite two miles away as the
convention owed him triumph in an 18-monition nomination that he began as a lawyer.
GOV. GEORGE C. Wallace of Alabama

Sen. Henry M. Jackson of Washington:

This was the official tabulation of a roll call that took more than an hour and a half—even though the issue was settled at the stroke of midnight:
McGovern: 1,864.95.
Rep. Shirley Chisholm of New York:
101.45.
The balance of the delegate votes were scattered among eight other candidates.
his name was not placed in nomination. In a final forlorn footnote to what was written, Edward S. Muskie of Maine got 10.8 votes for the nomination, Muskie, who with Sen. Hubert H. Humphrey conceded to Edmund S. Muskie before the final count was announced.
"Sen George M. McGovern, having received the majority vote of this convention's delegates, is hereby declared the 1972 Democratic presidential candidate."
On his night of triumph, the senator from South Dakota went to the lobby of his campaign office. There he met 200 youthful protesters who had not waved in his commitment to end U.S. immigration.
McGOVERN'S MIDDLE name is Stanley, but in the uproar of his victory, Chairman Lawrence F. O'Brien's formal pronouncement declared:

Humphrey got 31 votes, most of them in a presidential farewell gesture from his wife.
Through the long roll call of states, the new-look Democratic convention was for, a political convention, remarkably oratory and persuasive. And delegates topped the 1,599 majority that made him the nominee, his partisans erupted into cheers.

Kansas Delegates Remain Divided On Effect of McGovern Candidacy
"We have had some trouble in keeping the trash areas clean," stated Wilson, and we have had a little trouble with mice that are attracted to these cats which are attracted to these spots.
Another letter will be sent to the residents during the first part of August to inform them of the park. According to Wilson, a few of the residents have left apartments, although the parking may have been the main reason for leaving.
MIAMI BEACH—Wednesday, July 12, half of the Kansas Democratic delegate seem optimistic and eager, the other half pessimistic and anxious. The state of the Democratic party in Kansas can be told from an analysis of the vote for the presidential nominee Wednesday night. No one who came to Miami as a Kansas delegate left with any change of conduct. But Mr. Obama, Dakota Sen. George McGovern in his stunning victory can be broken down as follows:
"WE HAVE distributed a statement to the residents informing them about the new parking regulations," said Wilson. "We do not want them suddenly confronted with the permits in the enrollment line this fall."

Six uncommitted delegates who supported his position on most issues and were acknowledged as leaning toward McGovern before Miami;
Another factor in the higher rent is the problem of trash collection at the apartments. The city of Lawrence includes the price of trash collection on the water bills, but the university must make available the trash collection sites.

Beginning Aug. 15, parking permits will be required for Stouffer Place residents and the rent for apartments there will be increased by $10.
"The rent rates at Stouffel Place have not gone up for several years," said Wilson. "The $10 represents a compounding of several costs."

WILSON SAID that one of the new services for the apartment would be the use of cablevision to improve television reception.
The parking permits have already caused some problems with Stouffer residents. Many do not feel that they should be included in the same category as those who are applying for parking permits for the university parking lots.
Wilson said he did not feel that the apartment residents should be charged for parking in their parking lots, since it did not damage the car or park on camus lines closer to campus.
The new parking permits will cost the residents $15 annually. J. J. Wilson, director of the married student's apartments, was quick to point out that the permits were not issued by the housing management, but by the traffic and health action taken last spring by the Student Senate committee on traffic problems.
An improvement in maintenance was one of the factors in the raise in rent at cottages.
Television reception has not been good at the apartments in the past years, and because of the strict wire codes of the complex, television antennas cannot be erected. There can be no exposed wires at Stouffer Place, such as telephone lines or even clothes lines. The cables will adapt to the present system.
Ten of the uncommitted delegates cast their ballots for Washington Sen. Henry Jackson, Two Kansas votes went to Rep. Mike Cain, a Democrat, and each Sen. Edward M. Kennedy of Massachusetts, Sen Walter Mondale of Minnesota, and former North Carolina Senator Gary Sandy.
Uncommitted votes were divided at a caucus or uncommitted delegates at 11. The other group, the president, several of the delegates were still not sure whom they would vote for at that time. A McGeevorm caucus was held afterward to elect the president's vote on the Presidential nomination.
THE CITY is requesting that Stouffer Place install the mechanical type of trash containers, rather than the trash cans which are not used and which must be replaced.
The rates at Stouffer Place will increase from $75 for a one bedroom and $85 for a two bedroom.
respectively. Utilities are not included in the rent.
According to Wilson, the rates are not set exactly on what the market will bear. The apartments are backed by revenue bonds, and the housing administration attempts to set the rates so as to let the complex pay for itself and yet remain full.
The two votes vacated to alternates by Docking and Dreiling were cast by Linda Price, Z. Kansas City hospital technician, and Rachel Snyder an economics teacher at Ft. Hays State.
The President and his wife gave the ambassador and Mrs. Dobrynin a tour of their Spanish-style home before the meeting, and afterward Dobrynin and Kissinger spent a portion of the afternoon together at the compound.
Timing of Soviet Ambassador Anatoly Dobrynin's visit to the Western White House was purely coincidental, said press sources. He does not relate to the renewed Paris talks.
Nixon Meets with Soviet On Eve of Renewed Talks
Audes said the Dobryrin meeting lasted 90 minutes and covered "a number of international and bilateral topics."
SAN CLEMENTE, Calif. (AP) —On the eve of resumption of the Paris peace talks, President Nixon conferred Wednesday with a ranking Soviet diplomat as the White House reiterated that U.S. proposals to end the Vietnam war were flexible.
The presidential spokesman, responding to questions as the Nixon-Dobrynin meeting began, said "there is no foundation" to a news report that it was ready to make substantial concessions to the Communists in the Vietnam negotiations.
Ziegler said, however, that Vietnam would come up "in the course of over-all discussion on world affairs" between Nixon and the diplomat who has served in the past as a go-between in U.S. contacts with Soviet leaders.
THE GOVERNOR'S decision to let a McGovern alternate cast his ballot played the dual political roles of party harmony and image-making. Docking has long been known to fear the consequences of a McGovern ticket for himself and the state party. But it was many in the Kansas delegation and the state party who share his concern.
Docking has vowed not to oppose McGovern, but the sentiment of the governor and most of the regular party leadership is that the party must work extra hard to avoid setbacks at home in under the liberal image of McGovern.
Most of the people believe McGovern to be a sure loser, and they are hoping he doesn't take the Democratic party down with him.
Second district delegate Bud Buser, 37, a Southwestern Bell service manager in Topeka, said the platform adopted in the marathon session Wednesday morning was "just too damned liberal," far out of the mainstream and maintained certain defeat for Kansas Democrats at all levels in the general election.

Jo Saim, 68, Frontenac delegate, said the party was going through a period of transition similar to that which the Republicans passed through in 1964. He said after the McGovern faction had its party the party would return to the center.
“It’s the middle that wins elections in this country, and I don’t think some of the McGovern people know that,” one delegate said.
Two KU Students File Suit Against Search

Local hitchhiking laws were placed under fire this week by two University of Kansas students who have filed a class action protesting the search of hitchhikers
"No person shall stand in a roadway for the purpose of soliciting a ride, employment or business from the occupant of any vehicle."
Section 106 of the Lawrence traffic code is concerned with soliciting rides or hit-ing. Section 107 is for traffic violations.
THE KEY term in this ruling is the word
roadway. The legal definition of a re-
venue is
"The portion of a highway improved, designed or ordinarily used for vehicular travel, exclusive of the berm or shoulder. In the event a highway includes two or more separate roadways the term 'roadway' as used herein shall refer to any such roadway separately but not to all such roadways collectively."
On May 31, between 8 and 9 a.m., Stephen Corlain, Lawrence third year law student, said, he was hitchhiking just west of the intersection of Route 40 and Iowa. He said he was standing on the shoulder of the road. Geoffry Hermann, Lawrence policeman, stopped him and arrested him if he did not stop hitchhiking.
Cornelius replied that he thought that he was sitting too long as he did not stand on the roadway.
HERMANN left, but circled back and stopped Cornelison when he continued to hitchhike. Cornelison was searched and taken to the police station, where he was charged with section 106 of the traffic code and given an opportunity to post,bond.

student, who acted as a legal intern under the supervision of Clarine Smissman, an attorney. The case was dismissed before the judge and Cornellson had won. Livingston, on behalf of Cornellson, had successfully shown that Cornellson had not standing in the roadway and was there not in violation of the traffic code.
Last Friday, David Hebert, Lawrence third year law student, and Ted Livingston, on behalf of Cornellson, filed a civil action suit against the Lawrence Police Department, the Lawrence City Commission, Richard Stanwix, Lawrence Chief of Police and Buford Watson, Lawrence City Manager.
HEIBERT and Livingston contend that hitchhiking is a traffic violation and hitchhikers should receive the same treatment as other traffic offenders. It is not unreasonable to believe that other traffic offenders under ordinary circumstances. They said that they believe
it is a violation of equal protection laws to search hikibikers.
"The crux of our suit is that they are searched," said Livingston.
The action filed by Livingston and Heibert is a class action in which the plaintiffs are representing a class of people who have been or may in the future be charged with hikithinking under similar circumstances and treated in a similar manner.
The relief that Livingston and Heibert will be asking for includes an injunction to be issued by the court of a mandatory nature, but does not impose the same as other minor traffic offenders. They contend that the constitutional right of hitchhiking offenders who are search are being violated under the fourth and 14th amendments of the Code.

H Hebert and Livingston also question the incarceration of people picked up on this
As a part of their investigation, Heibert and Livingston are looking for people who have been involved in situations similar to that of Cornellism.
"ONE OF THE THINGS they're doing is subjecting people who cannot pay bonds to at least a short term of incarceration of an offence which, if they're found guilty, ordinarily carries no term of incarceration." Helbert stressed.
Heibert and Livingston stressed that this action is not involved in Legal Aid and that they are acting independently of Legal Aid,
Several Kansas Democrats speculated Sen. Edward Kennedy had played a larger role than most people realized. One day, the senator walked to the podium Wednesday night, announce his candidacy, and the nomination would be his. But he said, Kennedy also wants him to be who he wants him to win, but to clear the way for himself in four years.
THE McGOVERN opponents in the Kansas delegation said they had to give the McGovern workers credit for building a good grass-roots organization and getting out the vote, but they criticized their tactics and their judgment.
They especially questioned the wisdom of outsting Chicago Mayor Richard Daley. All were agreed the decision would cost the McGovern campaign dearly.
"They never forgave Daley for 1968. There was no way he was going to be seated, regardless of what McGovery may say in the way of a compromise," Buser said.
Several delegates expressed disapproval of the "vindictive nature" of McGovern's supporters once they clearly had the votes to control the convention. They said they believed the McGovern motion was correct, and went around alienating segments of the party for no reason other than the fact they had the votes to do so.
Buser said the majority report busing plank adopted Wednesday morning, an event organized by the American Airlines.
Steve Fear, Prairie Village senior, in Miami to help coordinate McGovens's campaign in Kansas, said he thought the McGovens' organization had been overplanned.
"THEY THOUGHT they didn't have to take any concessions, not to Wallace, not to Daley, not on the platform, to no one, politics doesn't work that way." Saia said.
"As a matter of fact, we're about the unorganized group I've ever seen," he said.

According to Mathia, about 1,000 persons registered to vote Tuesday, which is a new record for a single day's registration. He said 300 of those were under 21, bringing the total of 18 to 21-year-old voters to 4,488.
Lawrence and Douglas County have a record number of voter registrants this year, Douglas County rock Debert Matha said.
Registration Of Voters A Record
Lawrence had a total of 22,252 registered voters after the 9 p.m. deadline Tuesday, said Mathia, and Douglas County had a total of 27,196.
"This is the first year the county clerk's office has handled voter registration," said Mahathi, used to track voters. "Now we got city and rural registration."
He said that this year county voters were required to register also, and that they could register on Tuesday if they missed the Tuesday deadline.
"We're highly pleased with the response during registration," said Mathia. "and we should see it in the coming response in the coming elections."
