Continued from Preceding Page state service in the executive department to the attorney general's office. This would provide manpower to carry out programs and wouldn't cost any additional money because they already are employed. In the area of law enforcement, I will suggest changes in criminal laws of the state. I will urge the death sentence to be reinstated for premeditated murder, for killing a public service officer, for kidnapping where the
In the area of drug enforcement, I will put the emphasis on wholesalers and distributors of the drug traffic.
victim is killed, or for any killing inside a state prison facility.
Q. Why do you think you are more qualified for this job than your opponent?
A. I have more experience in terms of state government, having spent two years in the house of representatives, 12 years in the senate and 2 years as state treasurer. As state treasurer I have had administrative experience with the 39 employees in the treasurer's office and experience in getting laws changed by going before legislative committees.
A. The role is chief election officer and one of the three top offices in the state. The other party has had the office for 20 years and allowed it to die on the vine. The office needs to be brought back from one family and one party.
Q. What do you think are the major issues facing the winner of this election? How will you cope with them?
A. The major issue is to obtain the personnel to carry out the efforts of the office as they should be carried out. There are increasing crime rates, and we must establish effective training programs for county and district attorneys so that there will be more effective prosecution. There are a couple of public defender programs that receive as much or more money than prosecutors, and since we have full time public defenders we must have full time prosecutors.

Q. What do you see as the role of the office of Secretary of State?
A. Through the Democratic party, I plan to change voter registration to card form in order to make registration more accessible. This would have to be done before the legislature. This is just one small thing I think needs to be done to update this office. The office needs to be of service, not just a public relations office.

MICHAEL G. GLOVER (D)—Single, attended Lawrence High School, University of Oklahoma, University of Kansas, B. A.; two years as representative from 44th district, incumbent; assistant manager, Mr. Guy Clothing Store; 1308 Summit, Lawrence.
Rep. 44th
Q. What do you see as the role of State Representative, 44th District?
A. To introduce legislation that may not get through at that particular time, but still gets a good hearing in a positive and constructive way. Also, I strive for personal service to the constituents and try to represent and fulfill the needs of the University of Kansas.
Q. What do you plan to do to fulfill this role? Do you have any proposals in mind? What are they?
A. First, I hope to improve relations between the whole employ spectrum at the University of Kansas and the Kansas Legislature. The result could be better salaries for University personnel. I also will work for proper funding for such programs as the building of the new Law School at the University. It is important that the Legislature recognizes the high quality of university we have. Legislation for the decriminalization for the use of marijuana and the right of the 18-year-old to purchase and consume liquors will also remain two of
my priorities. Also I will push for legislation which guarantees that state civil service employees receive the proper salaries when compared to other state jobs.
A. My experience, not only in serving the Legislature, but also in running for this office three times. My candidacy is an individual effort, while my opponent has publicly stated that he has been asked to run for representative.
Q. Why do you think you are more qualified for this job than your opponent?
Q. What do you think are the major issues facing the winner of this election? How will you cope with them?
A. In addition to supporting all bills which will prove beneficial to the University of Kansas, I am concerned with several other issues. I have worked to exempt food and drugs from the state sales tax. I will reintroduce legislation establishing a commission on aging to develop new, more direct and individual services for the elderly of Kansas. An important land use issue facing the entire state is the continued withdrawal of farmland from production without concern for the economic and public interest of Kansas. A demonstration of greater public benefit should be required before land could be withdrawn from viable agricultural production. I also support increasing veterans' benefits.
