ALTHOUGH the entirety of both platforms will probably enter into the race at some time during the campaign, there are certain issues that will be in the forefront: taxation, education, transportation, road and highway development and welfare reform.
The Democrats made camp campaign spending an issue on the first page of their platform and more recently updated it with allegations by Norbert Drilling, state Democratic chairman from Hays, suggesting that Kay had been about $300,000 in his campaign.
The Democratic platform accuses Kay of attempting to take advantage of the citizens of Texas by blocking primary campaign expenditures.
THE PLATFORM STATES. "It is an insult to the intelligence of Kansas voters for the Republican primary, pretend that the sum of $1500 was the extent of spending in a primary election, and realize that our television viewers how costly television viewing is and how often we were saturated with that candidate's campaign prior to primary election day.
"The Republican candidate for governor further demeans the patience and fairness of the Kansas citizenry when he haughtily announces that any additional expenditures made by any other person, committees or organizations on his behalf will be filed after election day, not before."

To alleviate such alleged irregularities campaign spending, the Democratic platform makes several suggestions that the party feels should be added to existing legislation. The platform would force all persons and organizations to disclose the amounts of money they contribute to influence political parties and reasonable times before, as well as after, election day."
Drelling said he had tracked down Kay expenditures which included $30,000 claim. In order to reach that total, Drelling included a $1500 all-encompassing figure of $250 on cars, signs, stickers, etc.
THE PLATFORM also suggests a *hairy curb on candidates and their supporters, in the amount spend on a campaign, to eliminate the possibility of a coup by a deluxe of campainn money.
Including this $150,000 in his total. Drew's figures for Kay's campaign spending so far reach $252,696.
Dreiling challenged Kay's platform committee to support a truth-campaign-spending bill. The Republican responds in response to the allegations. The Republican Platform as adopted Tuesday makes no mention of the bill.
The Republican platform, in its tax section, presents a proposal that could become an important issue in the election. On the ballot, the Republican platform committee adopted a platform calling for the removal of the sales tax from food and medicine in Kansas. According to this proposal, such a method of tax reduction would allow Kansans to retain $20-24 million in sales.
"Here is meaningful help for older Kansans, for young children, and depressed parent with budget issues. Republican platform states. This would be immediate and effective tax relief for the young single, or married, farmer and consumer, every Kansas Citizen.
as the "tax lid," and substantially agrees with the Democratic platform's treatment of the subject.
THE DEMOCRATIC platform makes no mention of the removal of sales tax from food and medicine.
Dreiling criticized Kay's stand on the sales tax issue Monday, saying Kay "suddenly" wanted a sales tax exemption.
The Democratic platform supports "every effort to extend the tax lid to all areas of local government" and bonds of bonded indebtedness where the taxpayers have been given the opportunity to vote
The Republican platform unleashes a plank call for extension of expenditure ceiling on present expenditure ceiling on this ceiling has been put piously. This ceiling has been put piously.
THE REPUBLICAN platform advocates the submission of a constitutional amendment to give local government units used by local governmental units.
The platform states, "It was just such a right to control and influence the nation's founding nearly 200 years ago. It is for the time to be renewed in Kansas by men into the hands of the people."
The Democratic platform also makes permanent the elimination of the federal income tax as a deduction for corporations on the basis of income.
There is a divergence of opinion in the two platforms that govern the development in Kansas. The democratic platform praises the Docking administration for its commitment to leading transportation center."

"Republicans will end this dilemma which penalizes our people back economic accountability and hurtsmountless communities.
"We can and will build the roads our people need. Not patience but construction. Not pitching sky commitments but hard asphalt and concrete that leads to driving for our Kansas citizens."
According to the Democratic platform, Kansas has received more than $635 million for high-quality education. It also says that in fiscal 1971, highway construction contracts in Kansas totaled more than $110 million, the same single year in the states history.
Kansas that it's time for strong. new leadership.
The Democratic platform praises Docking for winning legislative approval for the city's highway construction project.
"The bond-financed construction programs mean stimulus for the Kansas economy, more jobs, an increase in employment, Kansas, and improved highway safety," the platform states.
ON WELFARE, the platforms
cording to the Democratic
platform, the welfare system in
Kansas is being overhauld
The Democrats say the Decking Administration has sent a letter to which changes the legal definition of the act of welfare fraud from a misdeemeanor to a felony, coupled with a six-point program on fraud prevention. Social Media will accredit the platform, reduce the number of errors in county-operated programs with the highest risk.
ACCORDING TO THE Republican platform, the situation in the construction of highways and roads is much worse.
"That six-point program includes face-to-face interviews and case investigation into those cases in which a person has a fluctuating record of employment or law enforcement cooperation with county attorneys and county courts in establishing trustee insee reports that father supports child support payments; additional training for welfare personnel designed to detect and report cases of abuse; reports; an updated form for
"At present, a disastrous delay of more than six years occurs between the time a needed high-tech robot was started by the State and before construction actually begins," the Republican platform states. "This is absurd! This is dangerous frustration. This is the dilemma that spells out a leaderless state. And this indicates to the people of
THE REPUBLICAN platform says the present welfare system does not adequately reflect the needs of Kansas society today. It says education and training opportunities must be made possible, so people can possibly citizen "to the fullness of life in our society."
The Democrats praised the Democratic Administration for completing the rebuilding in Kansas. According to the Democratic platform, financial support for state colleges and universities during the same time period, the rate of increase in enrollments in these institutions states "the Docking Administration has worked to provide quality education than ever before."
THE DEMOCRATIC platform accuses Kay and the Republican party in the state Legislature of higher education in Kanaas.
The Republican platform has much the same to say about the Docking administration. It accords with a conservative administration, of denying adequate funding for higher education, and claims that Kansans are in revolt because they are paying taxes and getting less and less.
The Republican platform states that Republicans are
committed to vision, listening innovation and the building of rapport concerning higher education.
