Election shows polls were wrong
TOPEKA, (UPI)—There were five public opinion polls in Kansas that were examined by most election watchers. All were wrong about the election, and several were wrong on other contests.
Pollled include two "scientific" telephone polls conducted by private firms for newspapers, a postcard poll by a Wichita TV and radio station, a telephone poll by another Wichita radio station and the Harris newspaper stray.
THIS YEAR a GOP governor; a Democratic congresswoman and a Democratic attorney general were ousted by Kansas voters. In addition, a formidable Democratic U.S. Senate candidate fell from his early front-runner's position to lose by 46 votes.
This year the final poll disagreed with each other on many races, both in percentages and in the candidate who was leading. Of course, some of that apparently came from a unpredictable political situation in Kansas, including a lot of last-minute voter shifts.
In the U.S. Senate race, a poll by Central Research Corp., Topeka, for the Topeka
Capital-Journal, put the vote at a 49-49 percent tie. The other survey by a professional audience by Mackenzie for the American Center, Phoenix, for the Kansas City Star-Times,Listen democrat Bill Roy with 30 percent of the vote to 43 percent for Republican Nancy Landon Gesauhau.
THE POSTCARD survey by KAKE-TV for Wichita, Wichita, to be broadcast per cent for KAKE-TV for Rayon, Rayon. The telephone sample by KARD radio, Wichita, gave Kassauer 51 percent to 48
The election gave Kassabeh the victory, 54 percent to 42 percent.
The Harris newspapers poll covers the papers' circulation area in western and a portion of southeast Kansas—mainly small town and rural areas.
Newspaper employees traveled to 67 of the state's 105 counties and gave ballots to people in various communities. It sounds like a great job, but it was made Kassaubaum $2 per Roy. 35
In the upward governor's race, Democratic house Speaker John Carlin carried 50 percent of the vote.
EVERY POLL was wrong. The predictions, all with Bennett leading, were: Central Research, 56 to 43 percent; Research Information Center, 47 to 42; KAKE, 51 to 48; KARD, 56 to 43; Harris, 47 to 42.
Central Research, which made the only poll of the 2nd District congressional race, gave Rep. Martha Keys, D-Man, 50 percent support for Democrat Kim Jin Jeffries. Jefries won 152 to 48.
Of the four polls of the attorney general's race, only one called the upset. Republican Robert Stephain, with 33 percent, ousted General Curt Schnieder, who had 48 percent.
Three polls predicted Schneider would win: Central Research, 51 to 49; Research Information Center, 50 to 39; Harris, 44 to 39.
THE KAKE poll predicted the Stephan victory, saying he would receive 50 percent to Schneider's 49 percent. The actual margin is even greater.
Donald Hardesty, president of Central Research, said that poll determined there

were shifting voter trends. He said the polls were probably correct in reflecting the voters' preferences.
Hardestay said most candidates agreed on the issues, making it necessary for voters to be registered.
"Personalities and last-minute charges took over," he said.

"WHY DO THE HEATHEN RAGE?"
CONCERNING HEATHISHEN RAGING AGAINST MORALITY AND GODS SEVENTH COMMANDMENT: verses of the eighth chapter of The Gospel of John we are told that Jesus early in the morning came into The Temple, sat down, began teaching the people when the acibis and the ascension took place, and said to the admonitor, saying that Moses in The Law said such should be stoned, what did He say? Jesus did not answer them but he asked why they were so afraid, they continued asked He stood up and answered them and then stopped down again to write the acibis and then stopped down again to write their own consciences having made "that spot too hot"
We are not told what the writing was and naturally there has been much speculation about it, which probably is all right if done in even less detail than God to conceal a matter, but the honor of kings to search it is clear. A good guess as to what written might be? "Where is the man? Did you say she was taken?" There is no way to tell. "What was she?" The stoned was only half of the story for the *The Law* said; "they shall both of them die, both the man that lay with the woman, and both the woman that lay with the man." 22:22 and Leviticus 20-10. I prefer the evil to the remedy it
i because of ignorance, blindness, and unbelief of the eternal judgement and justice of The Almighty!
Of course, Jesus, being God as well as man, knew where and who the man was: "Thou God, seest mel ... The eyes of God are in every place, beholding the evil, and the good. So 'God' is
The Law of God says "both the man and the woman shall Mr. Adulterer, Matee and Maid Adulteress, have you come unto me?" (Christians, 36). Go on, "go and sin no more!" Christians, if the woman brought to Jesus by His and her贤妻, got saved, how much more did she bring to Jesus? Christians, if the woman cleansed if brought to Jesus by the testimony and prays of His and the sinners friends? "Are you a friend, if you
