Winn, DeCoursey Battling
3rd District Race Exciting
By BOB VELSIR
Kansan Staff Writer
in terms of generating votes in the presidential congress battle between incumbent Larry Winn and LL. Gov James Cain is one of the few Republican candidates to win.
Both campaigns are well financed, the candidates are well known and it has been a hard fight all the way.
Winn was first elected to Congress in 1966 when he defeated Overland Park Mayor Marvin Raney by 5,000 votes. On his ballot he best former congressman Newell George by 41,000 votes.
DeCoursey hasn't had such good fortune before the voters. He made a strong showing in office in 1964 when he was defeated for the Kansas Senate by 70 votes. In 1966 DeCoursey won with 1,258 votes less to John Crutcher by 18,000 votes in 1968 he won his first election. John Conrad by 4,000 votes.
There is no question that DeCoursey is an attractive candidate.
His family owned the DeCoursey dairy for many years until 1955, and thus his financial position is better than many
On the other hand, Winn was in the construction business for many years. Before making the transition to politics, his political experience had been as a party worker. He was campaign manager for Congressman Robert Ellsworth, who held the seat immediately preceding him.
A primary attack in DeCousey's attempt at this race is no doubt the strong showings he has made there previously.
If Decourcey is going to defeat Wim, he will have to make strong arguments against him. Republican Johnson county vote, while holding the Democratic opponent.
In both of DeCourse's years for lieutenant governor he has been involved in two wars were by small margins. A case in point is the 1966 election when the congress lost the county by 11,000 votes andDeCourse lost it by 800 votes.
At this point it appears that if DeCourcourt is going to defeat Winn, he will have to hold his ground. If he succeeds, support in the rest of the district'
The Democrates have conducted an extensive registration drive and are planning an extensive get-out-to-vote campaign for this will probably be the key to Keyour's performance.
Larry Winn has been in congress for four years now and during that time has built up considerable name recognition, a re-election to the U.S. election. In this case Winn and DeCourcase are probably about even on this score in Johnson County, where he is known in the rest of the district.

Decoursey's workers say this is not true.

Democrats Gain Strength After Elections of 1960s
By BOB VELSIR

No matter what the outcome Nov. 3, one fact is certain: the Democrat who won last week the strongest it has been since the election of 1988. That year the governor gave congressional seats plus the offices of the governor, lieutenant governor and senator.
In 1960, the party fell apart and was able to win only one major office. That was a congressional victory in 1972 that the Democrats lost in 1982. After the national Democratic landside in 1964, Kansas had the distinction of being the only state where the majority of the major Democratic offender
Robert Docking changed that when he was elected governor in 1966, but he was the only Democrat to win that year.
THIS YEAR the Democrats have produced a number of attractive candidates for their ticket.
At this time the polls are giving a good lead to Docking and Miller, Democrat candidate for governor. Rome of Hutchinson has been leading State Sen. Reynolds and the rest of his party only by razor-thin margins.
Gov. Docking is making a strong bid for an unprecedented third term and there is a good chance he will win the attorney general's office for the first time in the state's history. In the second and third terms, Mr. Docking will be the Board of Topека, and James DeCourseur of Mission, are making strong bids against incumbent Mize and Larry Winn.
This can be attributed to the extensive re-organization the party has experienced during the last five years.
WHAT THIS all adds up to is that the Democrats, for the first time in years, are making serious challenges for a wide variety of offices.
In 1956, the party hired Paul Pendergast, formerly with the Democratic National Committee, as its executive secretary. It was announced that the party had been able to afford a full-time man for

DeCoursey has claimed that Winn has voted against every major piece of legislation. He has denied the evidence. Winn has denied this. DeCoursey has also charged Winn with an affair in which his Winn's answer has been that he's supporting the President in his efforts to extract us from Viet-
this position. Pendergast's primary function was that of organization.
After Robert Docking was hired for governor in 1960, he managed a time professional, Matt Reece of West Virginia. Reece's job left him too soon to be active in the Kennedy primaries and had a proven staff of professionals with him and spent most of the campaign efforts.
four most populous counties.
THE GROUNDWORK had been laid for a competent party organization.
In 1968, the Democrats were not only ready to try to retain the seat they lost in the state, but also make a stab at the state legislature. They were unsuccessful in the later venture, but they managed landslide that swept Kansas that year. In fact, the party lost seats in both districts and was held on to hold on to the governorship.
