George Holds Lead Over Scrivner; Four Other House Seats Undecided
Democrat Newell George was leading in the second district congressional race early this morning.
At 2 a.m. he led Errett Scrivner.
Republican incumbent, by almost
9.000 votes with 320 out of 641
precincts reporting.
However, by 2:30 a.m., this lead had been narrowed down to a bare 5,000 votes with much of the Kansas City vote yet to be counted.
At 3 a.m., Mr. George had again increased his lead and was leading Serviwer by 50,703 to 42,820 votes.
A telephone call to Mr. George's headquarters in Kansas City at 1:30 am. found little confidence in party members. Democratic campaigners expressed fear that Rep. Scrivener might pick up needed votes in Johnson County which at that time had very sketchy returns.
Newell George
Mr. George himself was unavailable for comment at the time. He had driven to Johnson County to be closer to the late returns, party members said.
The Kansas fourth district congressional race this morning was the only sure victory. Ed Rees, Republican incumbent and dean of the congressional delegation, received a concession from Warner Moore.
The four other districts were very close early this morning. Wint Smith, Republican incumbent from the sixth district, who is running for his seventh term against Elmo Mahoney, made this observation:
"It's not an election, it's a revolution."
