UNIVERSITY DAILY KANSAN, LAWRENCE, KANSAS NOVEMBER 4,1946 PAGE EIGHT Weather May Decide Election UP Writer Says By TOM W. MILLER United Press Staff Correspondent Topeka -Dry Kansas today wound up a political campaign pivoting on the liquor issue with the probability that with any kind of break in election-day weather the state will cast its second greatest off-year vote. The prospect is for some 700,000 ballots, and possibly three quarters of a million. in a curious campaign that reached fever pitch in the governor's race but left few citizens able to list the candidates for the lesser state offices. The prospect, also, is for a Republican victory all down the line—congressmen, governor, other statehouse offices and into the great majority of county courthouses. But the chance that Democrat Harry H. Woodring and his pro-repeal plea may steal the governor's post in long-dry Kansas has given the fervid gubernatorial race a twist capable of boosting the total vote rear the 1934 mark of 788,651 when Alf Landon won his second term in the governor's mansion. the good news is that if GOP nominee Frank Carlson of Concordia wins and Kansas again returns six Republican to Congress, the outcome will find little interest outside state borders. Should Mr. Woodring win, the result will be significant nationally for two reasons: ONE. Traditionally Republican Kansas will have voted in a Democratic governor, as it occasionally has done, but at a newsworthy time because of the countrywide expected gains of the Republican party, and TWO. The evident expression of the people of Kansas in favor of ending prohibition of liquor, in force since the writing of the state constitution 87 years ago. Today both candidates were putting final touches on their closing bids for votes. Tonight at their home cities, (Mr. Carlson at Concordia and Mr. Woodring at Topeka) they will make eleventh hour major addresses in hopes of gathering in the doubtful vote and of influencing the sizable "silent vote" which could, unless fairly well divided, give Mr. Carlson a landslide victory or Mr. Woodring a close one. Mr. Woodring will broadcast at 6:15 p.m. and will address a large rally at 8:30 p.m. Mr. Carlson will go on the air over a state radio network at 9 p.m. In the six congressional races four GOP incumbents and two other Republican nominees are expected to win handily. The same is true in the statehouse races, despite the Democratic all-veteran ticket, believed unique in the nation. Also in the governor's race are David C. White of Kingsdown, the Prohibition candidate who may poll a fair-sized vote, and Socialist Harry Graber of Wichita, who is not expected to get more than a handful of preferences. Jayhawkers Trip Favored Aggies (continued from page one) time and set back on the 24-yard stripe. Evans failed to connect on two passes and Baker was stopped at the line of scrimmage. Evans then took the ball on the reverse and went over standing up. Fambrough made his twelfth straight conversion. In the last two minutes of the second quarter, John Carey, 156-pound back, tossed a touchdown pass to Frankie Spruiell, fullback, for the first Aggie score. The K.U. line held the Farmer's ground attack to 12 yards during the second half, and the Cowpokes had to take to the air for their yardage. Don Ettinger submarined through from his left tackle spot along with center Howard Fischer and tackle Hugh Johnsho to break up whatever the Aggies had in mind for gaining on the ground. Salary, Stamps, Towels, Mineral Water, All Free Do You... Ah Say, Do You Wanta Be A Senator? B FREDERICK C. OTHMAN (United Press Staff Correspondent) Washington. (UP)—You want to pick up a little easy change? Get a free ride to the capital? Have your hair cut gratis in a barbershop de luxe? Grab some spending money for the little woman and the kids? Friends, this is it. Your chance to be a United States senator for the next two months, with all the—ahem—emoluments and none of the worries of leavaking. All you've got $ \textcircled{4} $ Friends, this is it. Your chance to next two months, with all the—ahem ries of lawmaking. All you've got to do is be a legal resident of California, Missouri, Nevada, Vermont, or Washington. And, of course, vote for yourself tomorrow. It is a weird deal. Through a quirk in the laws of the land the office of one senator from each of these five states becomes vacant Wednesday. The Democrats didn't bother to nominate anybody for the jobs; neither did the Republicans. None of the bigwigs wanted to be a temporary senator until Jan. 3, when the new congress convenes. The field is open for anybody who'd like to be a senator or a couple of months, collect his salary, get his fare paid for the round trip, hire his own wife and youngsters for his office force, and take advantage of all the other luxuries He needs only to write in his name on the ballot and get his friends to do the same. The fellow with the most pals gets the job. A professional screwball and a radio announcer with itchy feet are trying to land the California senatorship. Other city slickers in the other states also are campaigning for these, the cheapest jobs in the government. Big pay, no work, a soft couch and all the free soda pop you can drink. If I weren't a voteless Washingtonian, I believe I'd run for the senate myself. Each of the five winners gets 20 cents a mile for the ride to Washington. He receives $800 a month salary, the right to pay his relatives to be his secretaries, and a big box of stationery with his name printed on it in blue, like this: Senator Joe Blow. For the rest of his life he can insist on being called "senator." He'll have a luxurious office here for 60 days, with hot and cold running water and a couch. get free use of the official gymnasium and free dips in the senatorial swimming pool. The government will pay for his telegrams within reason and he can mail all the letters he wants without postage stamps. He'll get fresh towels daily, an unlimited supply of mineral water, and a private elevator to ride in. Odds are a thousand to one that he'll have nothing whatever to do. Only a special session of congress between now and next year would put him to work. He'd be sworn in as a senator then and he'd have to worry about the state of the nation. He might also be eligible for a pension; the experts still are pondering that one. May you enjoy yourselves in Washington, senators pro-tem, and don't forget your daily shoe shines; they're free, too. Starting Lineup water and a coat.

The fact that the government of the United States has been the largest bank borrower (through its sales of bonds to banks) is not the fault of the banks. It is the result of the terrific costs of war, and the wastes of war, as well. If Professor Pritchard's report is to be interpreted that he has a new economic system and a new banking system that his two years' study of banking operations may have inspired he should present them for the consideration of the American people. The banks of Kansas are intensely proud of the part they played in fulfilling their obligations toward the American people in the crisis of war. The job they did was the job asked of them by their government. To charge them now, as bankers, with the responsibility for creating high prices, inflation, unsound economic conditions and "profiteering" is something for which Professor Pritchard should personally and publicly apologize, assuming Professor Pritchard has been correctly reported in the newspaper story. (Editor's Note—In fairness to all concerned, the Daily Kansasan wishes to point out here that nowhere in its original story did Professor Pritchard state, in so many words, that banks had been "profiteering." He did say that during the 1939-45 period banks had nearly doubled their pre-war rate of profit, crediting this gain to "their peculiar institutional setup" and to the failure of congress, which didn't provide adequate tax measures.) On the basis of but two or three years of banking operations, Professor Pritchard is reported as saying that the profits of Kansas banks are excessive as compared with other industries. It should be understood that profits in banks must be considered over the entire business cycle rather than for only two Students In Hospital After Car Turns Over William Hornbuckle, engineering freshman, suffered a concussion and minor lacerations in an automobile accident near DeSoto, Friday night. Sammy Peete, Fine Arts freshman, received minor injuries. Both are confined to Watkins hospital. The couple was returning from Kansas City to Lawrence when the car which Hornbuckle was driving attempted to pass another car. The cars collided mashing the front fender of Hornbuckle's car against the wheel and pulling the car to the right. The car went off the road and turned over twice. Two other students in the car were not injured. W.E.C. To Meet The Women's Executive council will meet at 8:30 p.m. tomorrow in the Pine room of the Union.

Thus far in 1946 bank profits are declining and carefully prepared forecasts for 1947 and later years project a continuance of this trend. Further, a substantial portion of all bank earnings must be retained to offset possible future losses in bank operations—unlike the dividend policies of most corporations and large businesses. Banks should no more be condemned for two or three years of slightly above-average earnings, following periodic cycles of low-earning years, than any other business in the field of private enterprise, including farming Vita Fluff Dermeriss Revlon — at IVA'S BEAUTY SHOP 941 1/2 Mass.
