Tunney, son of the former heavyweight boxing star and film star George Murphy in California. TWO 1925 DEMOCRATIC presumes possibilities-Sen. Edmund S. Muskie of Maine and Sen. Edward M. Kennedy of Massachusetts were re-elected handily. The boat been in 1863-Hubert H. Humphrey—also regained his old Senate seat from Minnesota. Hamphrey ruled out another shot at the presidency in 1972, but he said he hoped he would have something to say about who the Democratic nominee would be. "there will be many democratic on-the-spot in 1972," he said. "I shall not be one of the Republicans led in two unsettled Senate races and Democrats in one. That indicated at lineup of 44 Republicans and 54 Democrats. There are 57 Democrats and 43 Republicans now. IN THE HOUSE, where all 435 seats were at stake, the Democrats elected 239 and led in 138 districts. The Republicans had elected 162 and led in 16 districts for an indicated total of 174. No more districts were needed. The Old House lineup was 246 Democrats and 189 Republicans. 218 are needed for In 35 gubernatorial elections, the Democrats won 19 and led in 3 others. Republicans won 12 and led in one. Counting the 15 holdover governors, the indicated total 21 Republics, compared with the present split of 32 Republics 18 Democrats. The Vice President was unhappy about the defeat of Rep. George Bush in the Texas Senate race but was confident that the Republican would be Bentsen Jr., would be more helpful to the administration than Sen. Ralph W. Yaray, who would be Baylorwood in the Democratic prime minister. AGNWE ALSO POINTED to Buckley in New York as a welcome replacement for Goodell, whom he had ranked with the 'radical liberals' in the Senate. "The President is in full agreement with me. I'm telling you tonight." Agree told reporters. In Florida, Gov. Claude R. Kirk Jr, lost to Democrat state Sen. Reuben Askew. A priority Republican target set, held by retiring Sen. Spessard L. Holland, was won by Rep. William C. Truhe, the Democrat, over Rep. William C. Criner, who was urged to run by the President. Democratic Gov. Preston Smith was re-elected in Texas. Elsewhere in the South, Republican Gov. Windhock Rookefeller was unaware of a complaint against Albert W. Watson just before Albert W. Watson won his Republican bid to win the South Carolina governorship from LT. IN MARYLAND, Tydings was upset by Rep. J. Glenn Brenn, Republican son of a former Republican senator. It was Tydings, who became chairman, who ousted Beal's father from the Senate. --- The GOP won both a Senate seat and a governorship from the Democrats in Con- nectction. Rep. Lowell P. Weicker defeated Joseph D. Hoff Dewort, for the seat of North Carolina's 1st congress as an independent and trailed in third place. GOF. Rep. Thomas J. Meidell best Rep. GOF. Rep. Thomas J. Meidell best Rep. As potential presidential contenders in 1972 Muskie and Kennedy will have much to say about the course of the Democratic party during the next two years. The Democratrs won notable gubernatorial victories in Ohio and Pennsylvania to replace Rick Santorum, who was elected in Ohio. Philadelphia industrialist Milton J. Shapp won in Pemmons. In the middle-range population states, Democrats took governorships from Republicans in Minnesota, Wisconsin and Alabama. In as most elections in the middle of presidential terms, personalities and local situations affected the results as much as national issues. In Missouri, incumbent Democratic Sen. Stuart Symington captured an early lead to maintain a 4 percentage point victory over the youthful Republican challenger, Atty. Gen. John Danforth, but the other half of the state was divided among those challenging defeat, nearly complete returns showed. The state's congressional delegation remained static at nine Democrats and one Republican as more than 1.2 million voters cast their ballots annually heavy voting for an off-election election. With 97 per cent of the total in, Symington was leading Danforth 620, 268 to 791, 117. By United Press International Standing of the next Congress compiled at 3:25 a.m. today.

By DAVE BARTEL Kansan Staff Writer America took a half-step to the right Tuesday night and perhaps brought to an end long standing political tradition, but the 1970 presidential election marked the moment preceded it, apparently settled very little. As the balloting booths closed and the night morning, both sides—Republican and Democrat—had come together. Analysis "We maintained our position in the Senate and improved it in the House," O'Brien said. "In the event, victory or defeat was a matter of how much we wished to interpret the election's results." Lawrence O'Brien, Democratic National Committee chairman, meanwhile said the committee should not allow the senator to vote. President Nixon was reported to be "very pleased with the election results. Vice President Nixon agreed said the O'Brien had "done very well." He called "working majority" in the U.S. Senate. He defined a "working majority" as "a majority of Americans who vote for America and support the President." President Nixon put the prestige of the Presidency on the line by deciding to campain hard in the closing moments of the struggle in support of Republican candidates. The motivation was to wrest control of the Senate from the present Democratic majority. As the campaign progressed - or regressed some say - the White House took a position of wanting "men who would vote for the Democratic Party" in preparation for the reality of the election. democrats, meanwhile, dug in, for the seige, attempting to neutralize the "law and order" issue that the Republicans were hit with on Tuesday by arguing about the state of the economy. By historical tradition, the party with control of the White House, in this case the Republicans, loses seats in both the House and Senate in off-year or non-presidential elections. Therefore, taking into account the President's campaign push against the Democrats and history's push against the Republicans, is possible for both parties to win—and they did. The Democrats retained control of the Senate, with a net loss of only two seats. It was necessary for the Republicans to pick up more to control it. Perhaps the critical issue now will be the makeup of the new Senate, which will organize in January. In examining the shift in senate, it is possible to detect an ideological direction. This means that the Democrats will continue to dominate the President's legislative agenda, because they will retain key chairmanships and subcommittees of the Senate which can bottle up legislation and keep it from reaching a number of members. The Senate now has a "working majority," it might put in place. Republicans, on the other hand, have obviously overcome historical tradition in the case of the House and not certainly not the usual 30 to 35 seats. In the Senate they must pick up a Liberals like Albert Gore, D-Tenn., Charles Goodell, R-NY, and Joseph Jydhings, D-Md., were defeated by conservative candidates William Brock, R-Tenn., James Buckley, Conservative N.Y., and Glenn Beall, R-Md., respectively. Other conservatives like Harry Byrd, a former Democrat who ran independently in Virginia, and Robert Taft Jr., B-Ohio, won their races. Liberal Vance Hartke, D-Ind., was in a tight race all night and still not secure in the early morning hours. The only real surprise victory for a liberal came in California where John V. Turney, a Democrat, defeated incumbent George Murphy, Republican. The President waged a war for Murphy and this defeat is undoubtedly considered a very personal one for him. In sum, it seems that the 1970 election has proved very little. It is not a clear victory for either party. It is not even a clear victory for Democrat John Kerry, but this election has been a tentative proposition. From all of this, it appears that Thursday night's tide was a conservative one, though not the massive move to the right that some had predicted. America seems to have taken a half-step right—not a full one—and, at the same time, one step back from its traditional embrace with political liberalism. If this election can be considered a true barometer of the attitudes and opinions of the silent majority* then it must be said that the problems associated with concern at the problems and issues it faces. Whether the President got a "working majority" from this election remains to be seen. It also remains to be seen whether the Republicans can formulate, legislate and implement programs in the next two years that satisfy the public's concerns. The "average American" - if ever one existed - seems to have developed doubts about the liberal approach, but he is not yet willing to plunge into conservatism. Whether or not it is a marriage may be decided in 1972. County... From Page 1 DeCoursey Winn received 7,589 votes an- d DeCoursey received 7,608 votes. Shultz beat Richard Rome, a Democrat, by 2.800 votes in the county. Shultz is from Iowa and was one of the parts of the state. He received 8.487 votes here, more than any other major candidate in this county. voices. Saultz ran well in the 3rd Ward, the south of the campus and in the 4th Ward which is the south part of Lawrence. He lost only eight precincts and won 29. over the entire state to win a third term as governor. In precincts outside of the city, only two passed Amendment 1.2 on Wednesday, and precincts just to the south and west and east of Lawrence. Every other Douglas county precinct outside Docking was the only Democrat to win the approval of the county voters. He ran well In general, the county exhibited its traditional Republican voting pattern. It was mentioned before the election that a possible large vote by university students could affect the results. But if there was a large student vote, it didn't cause any problems for the Republicans. However, the fact that Glover and Moore came within 300 votes of winning does indicate that many voters in the county did not vote a straight ballot. Both Moore and Glover counted a student for much of their campaigning. Moore appealed to the students partly because of his antiwar stand. Glover tended to shy away from major student support because he ran in a district that contained few students. His campaign was directed to the people in his district, not students. The 1800 people who voted for Kimba could easily be considered students. But he received some votes in almost every precinct, even some of those outside the city. The attorney general vote is hard to analyze. Seaton could have won in the county because most people voted a straight party vote, but the attorney could be interpreted as an anti-Miller vote. It seems more likely that most people voted a straight ticket, that is they voted for every Republican. While the rest of the country was watching several upsets and tight races, Douglas county seemed to have few unpredictable occurrences. Every incumbent won reelection and in the races where there was no incumbent, the Republican won.
