THE KANSAN COMMENTS
Large GOP Vote Gives Kansas Maine's Title
The student poll on the campus Friday correctly indicated the Republican trend in Kansas, but the overwhelming majority in the state for the presidential candidate as well as for the Republican governor, Andrew Schoepel, surprised even political observers. Why has Kansas replaced Maine and Vermont as the Republican stronghold of the nation?
Eight years ago our state rejected former Governor Landon when he was a presidential candidate. Willkie had no trouble in carrying Kansas four years ago, but Dewey has an even greater majority.
From the beginning of the campaign, Kansas was taken for granted to be a Republican state as usual, so much so that no major political speeches were given in the state, Vice-presidential nominee Bricker's train did cross the southern boundary of the state for a few minor talks, but no especial effort was made to get votes. The governor's speaking schedule was limited to the last few weeks, so it is doubtful that excessive campaigning caused the large majority.
The influence of the Kansas City Star's G.O.P. tendencies, and the leanings of the Topeka Capital and smaller papers in Kansas might have affected the result, but not necessarily. Two-thirds of the daily newspapers of the country were in favor of the Dewey-Bricker ticket, editorially. A study of election campaigns in relation to newspaper preferences
Rock Chalk Talk
MARY ANN GRAY
It's hard to decide whether Wayne Hird is pulling dull stunts for publicity or whether he is just misfortune's child, but anyway, here is his story. Wayne has been up in South Dakota, pheasant hunting with his father and brother. Back today to start to classes, he was seen on the campus with a black eye and a limp. The black eye, he tells us, is from the backfire or something of his gun, and the limp is from having his leg filled with buckshot! Now he says that his brother shot him—accidentally—but you can't tell us that.
Though you might think Carol Stuart is continually having one crazy nightmare, she topped even her daytime record the other night in the DG dorm. Having the urge to see a wild and woolly show, she did, and so she, as all others must, has paid the price of yielding to impulse.
***
About two o'clock in the morning when all was still, there was heard suddenly a loud dud by all the other DG's in the dorm. Everyone
historically shows no correlation of the percentage of favoring editors with election results.
Sometimes the strength of the governor's lead will carry over into the presidential vote, although this has not been universally true. Our neighbor Missouri did not follow that precedent. Many factors might have entered into the situation, and no one reason seems to tell the entire story. However, Kansas has come out in the lead again, although this time she leads the minority.
sat up, lights were turned on, and Carol was discovered on the floor. It was a blow to everyone, but what corwed the event, was that when she started to get up, she bumped her head on a ladder, and that really woke her up. The entire time she was babbling about monkeys and gorillas, and that "she just had to jump." And we thought that anyone knew the old saying about looking before you leap!
***
If anyone sees Martha Woodward muttering silly things, such as "Who was Stanley talking to when he said, Dr. Livingstone, I presume?" don't worry too much about it. She's really a normal person, (if in doubt, refer to Mortar Board, and so forth) and this is just another of her various activities. There seems to be a quiz program in the offing, and she is trying to think up a number of quips with no point. Need we say that she is succeeding?
Letter to the Editor
My faith in public spirit gets a decided jolt every time I hear a stuart Republican student make a bitter remark concerning the outcome of the recent presidential election.
Evidently, some students have forgotten that this campaign was not so much a matter of political principles as of American principles.
The majority of the servicemen cast their votes in favor of Roosevelt. Surely they, more than any
of us, know what they were voting for. May I make up the presumption that even these servicemen were not voting for Roosevelt as a man, but as the ideal America stands for.
Let us remember that the American people voted Roosevelt into office. Blame the people, then, but please remember to act and speak like an American.
