Governor's Race Open
By STEVE RIEL
Kansan Staff Writer
With elections still more than eight months away, interest is growing in the governor's race. Republicans have only two candidates from the major parties have made it clear that they will run for governor. Speculation about other possible candidates, however, has enlarged the field.
The two declared Republican candidates are former Kansas governor John Anderson Jr. and Ll. Gov. Reynolds Shultz. A possible Republican candidate is Morris Kay of the Lawrence area.
Democrats who have been mentioned for the governorship should be asked to decide should he decide to seek an unprecedented fourth term, and should he decide not to.
ON THE DEMOCRATIC side, the key question in this year's gubernatorial race concerns the issue of docking. If docking chooses to run for a fourth term as governor it is likely he will be the Democratic nominee. However, if the decides to challenge Republican Sen. James B. Pearson for his Senate seat, B. Pearson may challenge any contest.
Under these circumstances, Miller, who has said that he would not oppose Docking for the office of governor might become the candidate.
A campaign between any two of these possible candidates will involve a close look at their strengths, weaknesses, holds, or has held, public office.
Crucial to Docking's campaign would be his three-term record as governor from 1987, by defeating the incumbent governor, Avery, with a campaign largely based on tax collection. Mr. Docking was a banker in Arkansas City.
SINCE THEN, DOCKING has successfully sought reelection on economic platforms. Notably, in the past, Docking has against increasing state revenues. Some of the manifestations of this policy have been his intention to minimize the costs of the state tax as a source of state income.
Docking's tax reform program, which went before the legislature in 1985 and which increased in interest rates for idle state funds held in Kansas banks, an exemption from the federal tax on the deduction of federal income tax payments for corporations from state income tax.
The first two measures were filled in committee and the third in legislative legislature. Docking has threatened to veto a proposed amendment.
has said tax increases should be the people to pay. To this end he recommended that corporate and income taxes be used if they are not.
OTHER FEATURES of Docking's record include an expanded program proposed in 1988. Until this session the bill had failed to gain needed support in the legislature. Docking was also responsible for recent cuts and higher education spending
The cuta were designed to assess the state of state education. The institute reinstated the reduction in education while higher education some money for more investigators proposed that more investigators be hired to minimize waste in the state.
He has been criticized because of his failure to gain cooperation of the legislature on many of his proposals.
Miller's public record stands on his work in law enforcement. Before he became attorney general last year, he was sheriff in Sedgwick county. He received a bachelor's degree in night school in Oklahoma.
MILLER' CAMPAIGN for attorney general was based on a law and reform and impartial treatment of all before the law. In addition, he espoused the position and regardless of the political repercussions, in order to preserve respect for the legal authority.
In more than a year as attorney general, Miller has received the most publicity for his anti-drug campaign that began in 2013. He has been publicized for the efforts of his office in attacking illegal gambling in the state. Miller also called for enforcement of laws prohibiting consumption of liquor and fairly at college football games.
Less publicized is Miller's role as legal adviser to the state. He served on a committee than 500 legal opinions and has started civil suits for anti-trust cases.
ANDERSON WAS the first to officially declare his candidacy for governor earlier this year. He was governor of Kansas from 1981-45 and in "d e f e l d e g e n o r e d" George W. Bush's second term, his third term as governor.
Prior to his election in 1960, Anderson was attorney general. He served as governor of modern times in Kansas to the end of the governorship after leaving office.
remove the block to passage of legislation that he attributed to a Democratic governor and a Republican governor. Republican Anderson has said that he could institute a measure of governor and the legislature.
Highlights of Anderson's term as governor are linked to his 1982 when Republicans vaccinated nearly office in the election.

As lieutenant governor, Shultz helps to remove lewisons by removing lewisons in a possible way the storage of nuclear waste material at the Atomic Energy管理局
Kay, now majority leader in the Kansas Legislature, is another possible Republican candidate for governor. In a recent interview, she said that he would not announce his candidacy for governor, one
way or the other, until the legislature had adjourned. He said this was his most important responsibility at present.
KAY SAID he supported higher education and that partially through his efforts, some of the funding provided to universities, and colleges.
Anderson said he wanted to
He supports the new highway construction program that has just passed in the legislature and said that because it would cost more than the most important bill that had cleared the legislature this year.
The jobs, he said, would come during the summer and would provide employment for some students and college students in the state.
As the first Tuesday in November draws closer, the issue of candidacy will become one of the biggest opportunities to view more closely the candidates. The five possible candidates mentioned here do not mean a definitive list of who will actually seek the governorship.
McGovern Group Works on Issues
By SUSAN HAYES
Kansan Staff Writer
The Douglas County Chapter of
the Republican press has the only political group on campus which is openly national presidential candidate
The group was organized early in the semester by Lynn Knox, St. Louis freshman. Although most students who attend college come from University of Kansas students, it is a county-wide anyone can become involved.
Knox explained that at the present time the main purpose of the organization was to win support in the Democratic national convention. Changes have been made in the organization of the Democratic party which make it more work within the system, she said.
Delegates to the convention were previously selected by the county democratic committee and the mittenwomen. The process for selection this year will begin April 8, when district meetings are scheduled. Any registered voter may attend and vote for the people who will elect the delegates. The only time an official attends an affairdstating that he will
not participate in another party delegate selection, Knox explained.
In an effort to gain publicity for Sen. McGovern and to encourage voters to attend the April 8 meeting the chapter has been asked to hold halls and the Kansas Union to distribute literature and has conducted extensive telephone canvassing. A dance was sponsored recently by the group to highlight the importance of self-supporting organization.
Knox said she doesn't feel there is one main issue in this presidential election because there are so many diverse groups with interests to be considered. She said that in order to keep the system intact, the McGovern organization is an "issue-oriented group."
"We believe in Sen. McGovern, in what he's said and what he's implemented, but we are flexible group. We are open for a coalition. It won't be like 1988. We should connect this time." Knox said.
The group doesn't have plans in the near future for another money-making project, and the issues what is important, she said. The group plans to work now on in-depth people of the issues, Knox said.
Most Offices Open To Qualified Voters
By KEN HARWOOD
Kansan Staff Writer
A number of state and county offices will be up for contention in the upcoming elections according to state law, anyone who is a qualified election lawyer may do so.
D. E. Mathia, Douglas County clerk, said that every county office, except County Comptroller, will be eligible for election this fall. Mathia said that this year is an off-year for city courts.
Filing for county and state offices must be completed by noon, June 20. he said. A person who signs the election or Democratic primaries may file by paying a fee or by turning the ballot into the county's electorate.
Elwill M. Shanahan, secretary of state, reported from Topeka that 185 congressmen would be open for elections in November. On the state level, 40 senatorial districts, 20 county offices, some over 1,000 county offices, some
district judges and members of the state school board will be up for elections, she said.
Her main concern, she said,
was whether people would use
their right to vote.
"We want everybody to be voting this year. There no reason for anybody in Kansas saying they can't vote," she said.
"We will have an early mass registration in our colleges, in our universities and our junior colleges August. Where will they be?
"Will they take the time to go back and ask for an absentee ballot?" Will they be living in the city in September as they live now?
"If you move or if your name is changed by marriage, then you have to re-register."
Shanahan praised the work of the Kansas Legislature for their work in regard to elections.
"They have made it possible for almost everybody to vote; the sick, the disabled, the people that don't know how to get involved in federal service," she said.

Pearson Up This Year
By MARCIA CLIFTON Kansan Staff Writer
Of Kansas" two S. U. Senators,
election this year, but James
Pearson's term will expire next
year. He'll be awarded Pearson for the office of
president.
Sen Pearson announced he would seek his third Senate term at the Kansas Day breakfast in Topeka in January.
There is speculation that Gov. Robert Dockling will also seek the Senate position, but he has not been asked to join the Wichita Eagle, in late December a representative of the Wichita Machinists in Washington, D.C. earmarked $1,000 for the Wichita order of machinists to support construction projects.
Docking, however, has not officially acknowledged the establishment of the "Docking for Senate" committee which was established in 1982.
The deadline for filing is not until June. A spokesman at the Republican state party headquarters said even though Pearson was the only announced Republican candidate thus far, he would endorse any single candidate until after the primary elections.
An official at the Democratic party headquarters in Topeka is "a little early to say anything," she said. "anything we can say about Docking's plates at all. No one at his office will admit anything."
In spite of this uncertainty, it appears that Pearson and Docking will be the leading
contenders for the office.
Pearson's office in Topeka said
Sen. Pearson had not finalized his
campaign plan, but he campaigned on the basis of his extensive experience in Congress, as well as his above-average writing attendance.
During the 91st Session,
Pearson served on the 10 sub-
committees and as ranking
Republican on three of these.
Subcommittees of the Commerce Commission, on which Pearson has served, are the aviation and communications, consumer protection, environmental and surface transportation.
Pearson has also served on the African affairs, arms control, Euronean affairs and Near
If Docking files for the Senate position, he will probably campaign on the basis of accrued fees and three terms as governor. Throughout his terms in office Docking has advocated strict guidelines for, if not reduction of, taxes, and a well as a lid on taxes.
