Texas
Texans voted in perhaps record numbers yesterday to elect Democrat John Connally governor by a wide margin over Republican Jack Cox.
At 9:45 p.m., the Texas Election Bureau showed Connally with 103,922 votes and Cox with 72,202 in the hardest fought race in years.
Political observers credited Connally's sweep to the large turnout of voters. Republicans had hoped that complacency among Democrats would hold down the vote and elect Cox.
The previous record vote in an off-year election was a total of 789,000 ballots in 1958.
Both gubernatorial nominees were classed as conservatives. Connally called himself a moderate and Cox has been termed a Gold-water Republican.
Oklahoma
Oklahoma voters shattered a 55-year-old tradition last night in electing Henry Bellmon governor—the first Republican to hold that office since Oklahoma became a state.
Bellmon, a middle-of-the-road Republican, defeated Democrat W. P. (Bill) Atkinson in a hard-fought race.
In the Oklahoma senatorial race, Democrat Mike Monroney won a third term, defeating Republican B. Hayden Crawford. Crawford had campaigned on a "turn right" platform, and had endorsed the conservative views of Sen. Barry Goldwater, Republican from Arizona.
Ed Edmondson, Democrat from Oklahoma's second district, was elected to the House of Representatives.
Pennsylvania
Republican Rep. William W. Scranton won the race for the Pennsylvania governorship last night and Democrat Joseph S. Clark retained his U.S. Senate seat.
Retired his U.S. Senate Seats.
Scranton, the freshman Congressman who ended eight years of Democratic control in Pennsylvania, was leading Democrat Richardson Dilworth by 66,174 votes at 9:35 p.m.
Clark edged ahead of his Republican opponent, U.S. Rep. James E. Van Zandt, at 8:24 p.m.
Scranton and Dilworth were fighting for the governor's seat vacated by David L. Lawrence, long-time power in the state Democratic Party.
Scranton showed exceptional strength in Democratic strongholds, notably in Philadelphia—where he is a former mayor.
Colorado
Republicans won over two Democratic incumbents in Colorado last night as John Love was elected governor and Peter Dominick was elected Senator.
Colorado is normally a Democratic stronghold.
Love beat out incumbent Gov. Steve McNichols who was bidding for an unprecedented 10 years in office.
Dominick beat out incumbent Sen. John A. Carroll.
Love based his campaign on a pledge to reduce the state income tax by 15 per cent. Dominick called for curbing federal power to "return the government to the people" and for harsh measures against Communism around the world. He urged a blockade of Cuba months before the administration ordered one.

One of the strongest critics of the Kennedy administration, veteran Republican Congressman Walter Judd, was defeated last night.
Judd Defeated In Bid For 11th House Term
Donald Fraser, 38, upset Judd in Minnesota's 5th district, the city of Minneapolis, race.
Judd was seeking his 11th term to the House.
LONDON — (UPI) — Former Czech diplomat Josef Josten, a refugee from Communism, said today he is selling bits of Berlin barbed wire encased in plastic as paperweights. He said they will remind purchasers of the Berlin wall and the nature of Communism

Record Registration Reported for Rush
The finest words in the world are only vain sounds if you cannot understand them-Anatole France
A total of 798 women have registered for formal spring rush, conducted by the 13 social sororites on campus. The figure represents an increase of 73 over the number registered last year.
Two reasons were given for the increase: there was no fall rush this year, so transfer students are going through spring rush, and enrollment is up.
All those who make a 1.0 grade average, as required by the Panhellenic Council, will participate in rush activities.
