TOPEKA—the platform committees of both the Kansas Democratic and Republican帮民建的 the platforms their respective electorate campaigns this fall, and their meetings brought the two opposing parties as close as they will be throughout this election
While the Democrats were meeting in the Senate chambers of the Kansas State Capitol building, the Republicans were meeting in the chambers of the Kansas House of Representatives, a separation of only a few senators.
The Republican Platform Committee found that it needed more time to work on the planks of its platform, and later in the day decided to go on arm until Sept. 14, when the platform will be completed.
THE KANSAS Democratic Party Platform Committee however, adopted a state party election campaign on national election campaign this fall.
accepted without dissent by the approximately 100 party candidates and officials attending the meeting.
The 18-page platform document, drafted in week-long meetings held before Tuesday's official platform meeting, was
The document praises Governor Robert Docking and his administration in virtually all of its 21 planks and says Docking brought about many reforms in the structure of Kansas government.
THE PREAMBLE of the document states in part, "We demand that the governor Robert Ducking—the symbol of our cause. We cherish the sterling record of the Docking Administration and we dedicate this book to our dedication."
Seant mention was made in the platform of any of the other candidates that will make up the ticket in the November elections.
Atty. General Vern Miller is mentioned three times throughout the length, single-specified platform and Michael Manning, Democratic candidate for secretary of state, and Marjorie party's candidate for state treasurer, are named only once each.
NO MENTION is made of George McGovern, the national Democratic Party's presidential candidate.
The platform also commends the Docking administration for its so-called commitment to higher education in Kansas.

quantity in education programs."
"in the years of the Docking administration, financial support to our state colleges and universities has grown," the platform wrote. "These institutions has grown while at the same time the rate of increase of enrollment at state colleges and universities has decreased." The administration has worked to provide quality rather than
quantity in education programs." In a 10-minute address to the platform committee, Docking said "I am convinced that in November the people will again endorse the corporate platform as the platform."
DOCKING, who is seeking a fourth two-year term as governor of Kansas, stresses the record of his administration.
"Instead of a campaign representing only a minority of our party, we are going to offer a seat to the people who are approved by Kansas citizens.
"It is a record of fulfillment. In 1966, during our first campaign for public office, we said we wanted to bring fairness back to government; and that our vehicle to fairness would be reform.
"We said we would work to reform an antiquated tax structure which, for too many years, had bowed to the special interests. We said we would work to initiate tax reforms and bring about a taxing system which was based on a man or a woman's ability to pay. We have
done that.
"We said we would continue to provide Kansas young people with a high quality education. He could be looked upon in future years," he for Education in Kansas; for this administration has maintained education as a top priority. This department has committed more money to education has been committed during any other similar time period."
U. S. Rep. William Roy, Kenna's only Democratic congressman, also spoke briefly, and was present in the government in Kansas, led by Docking and Democrats, an example of a state trying to take action for it.
Although the Republicans chose to adjourn their committee meeting until Sept. 12, committee members would also benefit from a opportunity to hear from the
Kansas Republican gubernatorial candidate. Merrick.Key.

Kay also urged a constitutional amendment to place control of laws taxed by local units of government in the hands of the voters.
