Potential gubernatorial candidates oppose Carlin's death penalty stand
By STEVE ROBRAHN Staff Reporter
Capital punishment has been a controversial topic in Kansas for years and may become an issue again in the 1982 governor's race.
Although the November 1982 election is more than a year away, five potential candidates are so closely aligned with Carl's stand against the death penalty.
"I think that I would definitely favor the death penalty," Republican Dave Owen, Stanley, said yesterday. Owen is the only candidate who has officially announced his intention to run.
EVEN STATE SEN. Leroy A. Hayden, D-Santana, who said he was considering a run for governor, has voiced opposition to the governor's stand on capital punishment.
"There's definitely a strong feeling in my district in favor of the death penalty," Hayden said. "Seventy-five to 80 percent of the people out here favor it, I think. It's a powerful issue."
Hayden will decide whether to make a bid for the governorship by asking him to vote on the decision depended on four or five conditions that he would not reveal.
One of the principal sponsors of the 1818 death penalty bill, Hayden said he would run if the governor changed his views on any other key issue. Republican with opposing views appeared to be the front-runner.
Carlin will not announce his candidacy until after the 1982 legislative session, said Mike Carlin's assistant press secretary.
"The governor has indicated he will be running," Swenson said, "but an announcement probably won't come until May."
NOTHING IS OFFICIAL yet, he said, but Carlin's re-election has been given "preliminary thoughts" by the governor's staff.
Speculation has been running high as to whether Republican Attorney General Robert Stephan will announce his candidacy for governor. Stephan has said he favors the death penalty.
After a much-publicized luncheon meeting last month with State Sen. Jan Meyers, R-Overland Park, Stephan said he and Meyers would be compatible as a team for governor and lieutenant governor.
Stephan said he would decide his 1982 political plans by Dec. 1.
He said to be able to run for governor, he would have to generate the same excitement within himself to make a serious run.
WHEN HE DECIDED to run for attorney general—in 1978, Stephan said, he wanted the job more than he wanted anything else.
"The old thermostat hasn't reached that point," he said. "I have moved up a decision date because I need to get that decision made."
Another strong Republican possibility is former Gov. Robert F. Bennett, Prairie Village.
Bennett said that he was considering the idea of running for governor again but that he would announce the before end of 1891.
IF BENNETT WERE to run, he would be avenging his loss to Carlin in 1978 when he ran for a second term as governor.
