Docking And Murphy Highlight Election Party
A convention hall atmosphere, with the traditional bunting, political predictions and election results, prevailed Wednesday at the election night party in the Student Union Ballroom. More than 1500 students and faculty members attended.
This year's party gave both the Democrats and the Republicans cause to rejoice. The Republicans emerged as the winners in the national election by re-electing President Dwight D. Eisenhower and the Democrats triumped in Kansas by electing George Docking the first Democratic governor in 20 years.
During the evening master of ceremonies Emil L. Telfel, associate professor of journalism, introduced
Mr. Docking and interviewed Chancellor Franklin D. Murphy.
When Mr. Docking walked to the platform he glanced at the election returns blackboard which showed his 13,000 lead over Warren Shaw, Republican candidate thanked, and nodded his head approvingly. He thanked both Democrats and Republicans for their support in the election, which he said, had shown that the voters had exercised political maturity.

Analyzes Campaign
(Continued on Page 3.)
During the interview Chancellor Murphy analyzed various aspects of the campaign. He said the thought that the tense Near East situation "undoubtedly" gave President Eisenhower 15 per cent more votes than he would have received, and strongly condemned what he called "the Madison Avenue advertising crowd's smear campaign" against Vice President Richard Nixon.
Docking Widens Victory Margin
TOPEKA — Victorious George Docking, who won the Kansas governorship for the Democrats for the first time in 20 years, continued to show late vote-getting power as he stretched his margin to 74,889 over his Republican rival.
"It was one of the most vicious in campaign history," he said, "and matched only by the Republican smear tactics against Dean Acheson and that of the Democrats against Herbert Hoover."
The chancellor asked for a moment of silent tribute for the "gallant people of Hungary, who are now fighting against hopeless odds for freedom and the right to vote." He added that students were then leading the revolt.

Eisenhower Landslide Rolls Over 41 States
WASHINGTON — (UP) Ballot-splitting Americans gave President Eisenhower a landslide second term victory today but kept Democrats in control of the house and probably the Senate.
By noon today Democrats had won 224 House seats, four more than enough to organize it for the next two years. Republicans had elected 194 House members and were leading in nine races for an indicated total of 203.
In the Senate, Democrats elected 17 members and led in two other states for an indicated total of 50. This would be one more than needed for control.
Republicans had elected 15 senators and were leading in one race. Their indicated total was 46.
Mr. Eisenhower's victory over Adlai E. Stevenson was mounting toward the third greatest electoral college landslide in U.S. history. It was the biggest Republican presidential victory in history.
A late United Press count gave Mr. Eisenhower 31,306,202 votes and Mr. Stevenson 22,869,726.
Only once before in American history—in 1848—has a president started a term with both houses of Congress against him.
Sen. Alan Bible, Nevada Democrat, won over Republican Rep. Clifton Young despite an Eisenhower land-slide in Nevada. Sen. Wayne Morse, Democrat, defeated Douglas McKay in Oregon.
The President had won 41 states with 457 electoral votes. He needed only 266. Stevenson had won seven states with 74 electoral votes and was leading in Arkansas, which has eight, for a projected total of 74.
Three incumbent GOP senators were toppled by Democrats: James H. Duff (Pa.), George H. Bender (Ohio) and Herman Welker (Idaho). The Democrat also took the Colorado seat being vacated by a Republican.
Weather
Partly cloudy and cooler west and north this afternoon. Generally fair tonight and Thursday. Cooler east and north portions tonight. Little change in temperature Thursday. Low tonight 20-25 northwest to 35-40 southeast. High Thursday 50 north portion to 60 south portion.
