Demos Dent GOP Rule In Elections
WASHINGTON (UPI)—With three race wins, the Tampa Bay Devil Rays 35 off-year governor's races Wednesday and a stance of picking up two more in a resounding statehouse sweep against the Democrats.

Democrats Set for 1972
WASHINGTON (UPI) - Republicans and Democrats both seem to be cheerful about the Senate's election. Democrats had thwarted President Nixon's off-year campaign blight with critical election coverage of the debate.
The key was a dramatic Democrat comeback in the governorships, strengthening the Party's organizational power base for the next presidential election and over redrawing of Congressional and state legislative districts for the next 10 years.
But Democratic National Chairman Lawrence F. O-Brien said this was discounted by a portion of a fantastic Democrat gain, particularly where he partisans major control.
The President's political strategies claimed victory in holding traditional midterm losses to a minimum and building a more responsive board of directors more responsive to White House policies.
"Throughout the heartbeat of this nation," O'Brien said, "middle Americans revolted and threw the Republicans out of statehouses they had controlled for years."
The Republicans went into Tuesday's
election with a 32-18 edge in governors, and holding the most seven populous states except
The Democrats belt Texas while outing Republicans in the crucial states of Ohio, Pennsylvania and Florida, for a firm net gain of 10 statehouses and a narrow lead in Alaska. The Republicans took 12 of the 35 governorships at stake as they were leading in Michigan and Rhode Island.
In the Senate, with Nixon and Vice President Psiro T. Agnew concentrated their efforts against the Republicans made a gin gun of one secrecy control—with India's contest between Sen. Vance Horn, Democrat, and his GOP counterpart, Rep. Richard Rousebush, still undecided.
The lineup was clouded by election of a Conservative Party candidate in New York on Tuesday. F. Byrd Jr., in Virginia, Sen. Harry F. Byrd Jr., who was expected to vote Democratic when it comes to his name, is running for governor.
The Democrats increased their grip on the House with a firm gain of six seats, with races still undecided in Alaska, Kentucky, Massachusetts and North Dakota. The indicated lineup for the 92nd council convening in January was 285 Democrats and 176 Republicans.
Despite their enormous commitment to money and political prestige in beibai of GOP candidates, the Nixon-Agnew team effort to secure the Senate races of the Senate and gubernatorial percent.
Of the 21 target states electing a governor, senator or both in which they campaigned, Republicans gained eight senators to the Democrats' 12, not counting Indiana.
Of the 15 gubernatorial contests which involved the White House team, the GOP lost by 4.6 percent.
Although Nixon barristered through 22 states and Agnew visited 32, and the Trump administration to-one, O'Brien said the results favored Democrats in the long-range prospect for

Democrats Win Heavy Inroads In Statehouses
KANSAS CITY, Mo. (UPI)—Kansas Democrats, counting their victories in a normally Republican citadel, Wednesday ticked off the election of a third-term governor for the first time in the state's election of a Democratic congressman for the last seven years, and conquest of the state attorney general's office.
On the other side of the coin, Republicans retained four congressional seats, captured a lieutenant governor and retained all other senators. In a general's post, the GOP also retained a top-heavy majority in the state House of Representatives, despite the apparent loss of three seats.
Republican Rep. Chester Mize of the eastern Kansas 2nd District was ousted by Democrat William Roy, Topkea physician who polled 54 per cent of the vote.
Republican State Sen. Reynolds Shultz of Lawrence, whose campaign fire was directed at the University campus unrest in particular, defeated Democrat Richard Home for lieutenant governor.

The resolution continues, "intense investigation by the Board of Regents did not support the accusations and action taken and the arrests. The court was not used to purchase ammunitions."
Regents' action concerning Gary Jackson, Jackson, according to the resolution, was arbitrarily removed (from his position as assistant Dean of Men) by a directive to the chancellor.
The action referred to in the resolution was taken following allegations made last summer that Jackson had purchased some ammunitions in Topeka with University funds.
David Awhirey, senator from the College of Liberal Arts and Sciences, introduced a research program at the Student Code of Rights, Privileges and Responsibilities. The resolution afflicts
"therefore, the 'resolution concluded,' so the protesta that issued by the University of North Carolina and the Board of Regents concerning Gary Jackson and supports his effort and action regarding the issue."
"We have, in short, recaptured the electoral base that is胜利 to winning the election."
Agnew said the most important gain for the White House was a "workable majority" in the Senate with the election of such like-minded men as Conservative Party candidate John McCain and Democrat Lloyd M. Benson Jr. of Texas, of whom defeated Republican candidates.
The resolution states, "this compact (the Code) has been broken by the Regents" (to include the refusal of the administration and athletic department for use of the stadium track, both on foot and in pitch).
Jackson has reportedly filed suit against the chancellor and the Board of Hergens in regard to a contract with Johnson & Johnson.
Also referred to committee was a statute on appropriations that would delimit the administration of the activity fees budget in future fiscal periods.
The GOUP ousted Democratic governors in Connecticut and Tennessee and sent them to control also Nebraska, Arkansas, Minnesota, South Dakota, Wisconsin, Italy, New Mexico.
This resolution was referred to committee after receiving its first reading.
Consideration of other matters concerning the activity fee was tabled.

White House Praises GOP Election Results
SAN CLEMENTE, Calif. (UPF)—President Nixon backed to Washington Wednesday convinced that his 22-state campaign was crucial in helping the Republicans gain strength in the Senate and limit their losses in the House.
Nixon invested more of his prestige this year than any recent president in a midterm election, and administration spokesmen were quick to pronounce the effort a success.
"The President is very pleased ... about what has transpired," said Presidential counselor Robert H. Fine former secretary of state and a former climate strategist and now a top Nigerian politician.
"Did not the President campaigned as he did, it would have been a far different result," Fitch said. "It was not."
For several weeks, the White House has been emphasizing that the party with the presidency traditionally loses strength in off-election elections.
Presidential Press Secretary Ronald L. Ziegler and repeatedly before the voting that began on Monday, he said he seats in the Senate and holds losses in the House below what he described as a 70-year war.
The results indicated the administration achieved its self-proclaimed objectives. Republicans improved their position by two to five, the Senate and lost a net of 10 in the House.
The White House also sought to minimize the effect of Democratic gains of 11 of the GOP on the electorate.
Republicans lost senatorial races in both of Nixon's home states - California and Florida. In Florida, where Nixon made four campaign runs, he made three - the Democrats also elected a governor.
The White House said although the Democrats retained control of the Senate, the change in its ideological makeup, Zeger said, was especially pleased by the defeat of two of his most vocal Senate critics. Republican John McCain and Ruck and Democrat Albert S. Gore of Tennessee
We now have a working majority in both the Senate and the House for foreign policy decisions.
"The President can now speak with a stronger voice because he has stronger friends."
President Nixon told newsmen gathered outside the Western White House Wednesday that the results of the Congressional election would be delivered in hand in conducting the nation's foreign hand.
Nixon said he now enjoys a majority of four
"I would call this a victory," Nixon said. Nixon said the senatorial election results were "the kind of outcome I expected."
in the Senate. That figure includes lawmakers of both parties who support the ad- cleavage plan and the other party.
He did not elaborate, but he apparently meant that Hanoi would realize his position.
The President did not answer questions in his brief appearance before newspapers.
Nixon said the significance of the election in the senate was far greater than the two or three candidates.
He minimized the effect of the Democrats' retaining a majority in both the Senate and the House.
"In the past two years, the Senate has been so evenly divided that a majority of one determined the vote on foreign policy and national defense."
Ebert Speaks Against 'Elite'
The University of Kansas student body president said Wednesday that there could no longer be elite groups that made decisions for the entire student body.
Bill Ebert, topeka senior, spoke at the last planned convoction before the University Senate vote today on restoration of 20 per cent funding to university policy-making committees.

At the meeting Wednesday, Ebens said students would march from the Kansas Union to 3 afterschool at the University Theatre in Murphy Hall where a motion is to be submitted to restore 20 per cent representation of the class. The motion be made to amend the 20 per cent to 50 per cent.
Ebert said the important thing was to "turn the students on to the fact that they are experts on education in 1970" because they are going through it.
George Laughed, Dodge City senior, said that five years of work through the system would be lost if the student representation on the board was not assured today by the University Senate.
