Party faithful react to yesterday's results
After a late night of celebrating, local Republicans needed their high spirits to keep themselves going yesterday.

"Most of the time I was running on adrenaline," said Alee Creighton, Atwood law student. Creighton attended early classes yesterday after a late night at Republican Mike Havden's victory party in Topeka.
"I'm going to sleep this afternoon and then I'm going to start studying," he said.
Local Democrats also were tired, but they were less buoyant, disheartened by Hayden's defeat of Democrat Tom Docking.
"I do not think that Hayden cares about KU," said Deborah Burns, vice chairman of the Douglas County Democratic Committee. Then, referring to Docking, she said, "I hope that he
runs again."
"I feel very sad on the one hand, but on the other hand, I can't help but be thrilled about the Senate." Burns said.
tails again.
However, the Democrats sought solace in knowing that their party had regained control of the U.S. Senate by a 55-45 majority.
She also said she was pleased that the three local Democrats; Jessie Branson, Betty Jo Charlton and John Solbach, retained their seats in the Kansas House of Representatives.
"I don't think we did too bad," she said.
Burns said she thought Docking had gotten as many votes in Douglas County as she had expected. He carried the county with 57 percent of the votes.
However, Ken Martinez, chairman of the Douglas County Republican Central Committee, said he was pleased with the county's votes
"I hadn't predicted that we would do that well." he said
Martinez said that the Republicans now have control of the governor's office, the state House and the state Senate.
for Havden.
"We can accomplish a lot in the next four years if we maintain that balance." he said.
He also said he thought the Republican strength in the state offices would help his party win.
"It's an exciting time in Kansas," Martinez said.
But Debbie Bengtson, Junction City sophomore and a member of KU Democrats, disagreed.
"I really feel the people made the wrong choice." she said.
Bengtson, who was with other KU students at
the Democratic headquarters in Topeka last night, said she thought that Docking's concession speech was a good morale booster.
"I think he handled it really well," Bengtson said of the defeat. "Talk to me in '90."
She said she thought it was ironic that the Kansans voted for the so-called sin amendments — lottery, pari-mutuel wagering and liquor by the drink — that Hayden had not strongly favored.
However, Creighton said that Hayden had voted the way his northwest Kansas constituents wanted him to vote but that he had helped to get the amendments on the ballot.
Lawrence man loses $18,000 in con game
Creighton, whose family is friends with the Haydens, said he had been nervous leading up to Tuesday night although he didn't know whether he needed to be worried.
"I'm very pleased and relieved." he said

A 76-year-old rural Lawrence man lost $18,000 Tuesday to three men who apparently led him into a confidence game, Lawrence police reported.
Sgt. Don Dalquest, Lawrence police spokesman, said the Lawrence man was driving into the city and was caught on the suspects, who were hitchhiking.
Upon arriving in Lawrence, the suspect told him that he had inherited a large sum of money and wanted to hire a prostitute.
Although the Lawrence man did not have much money in his possession, Dalquest said, the second suspect allowed the man to play with his money. The suspects kept the Lawrence man's interest by using several tricks that were designed to make the Lawrence man appear to skillfully win the game.
The men then went to the parking lot of a restaurant on 23rd Street, where they met the third suspect. The third suspect interested them in playing a card game called three-card Monty, which resembles a shell game in that two red cards and one black card are shuffled and the player tries to pick the black card.
A second suspect entered the game, telling the first suspect that he could find him a prostitute.
The Lawrence man, who was accompanied by the third suspect, withdrew the money from banks in Winnipeg and fled intoWinnipeg City and returned to Lawrence.
When the Lawrence man became excited about the game, Dalquest said, the suspects suggested that he play with his own money.
When they returned to Lawrence, they went to a house where the two other suspects were supposedly with a prostitute. The third suspect, who somehow gained possession of the Lawrence man's money, told the Lawrence man to wait outside the house while he went in.
The men, who Dalquest said were from 45 to 50 years old, then disappeared with the Lawrence man's money.
$15,000 in equipment donated by company
Dalquest said police were seeking the three suspects.

KU electrical and computer engineering students will begin using some new equipment next semester because of a surprise donation from an electronics manufacturer, the department chairman said yesterday.
The department of electrical and computer engineering will have its choice of $15,000 worth of sophisticated electronic equipment from the John Fluke Manufacturing Co. of Everett, Wash., said James R. Rowland, the chairman.
"We are delighted to receive this high-quality equipment that is very much needed for these laboratories," he said. "It will improve teaching in our junior and senior laboratories."
He said the donation also would be a boost for the department's equipment inventory. The department could use some of the equipment to maintain existing equipment.
nowand said he thought the company chose to give the equipment to the University of Kansas because its engineering department had a high national ranking.
"A couple of weeks ago, out of the blue, I got a call from a gentleman who requested a $ \frac{1}{2} $ hour appointment with me to discuss a donation to the department." Rowland said. "I had no idea what the donation would be."
Although companies frequently approach the engineering school with donations, he said, the latest gift comes as a surprise to him.
The gentleman Rowland was referring to was Edward R. Watt, educational programs administrator for the Fluke company.

Budget, amendments at top of list for Hayden
The Associated Press
TOPEKA - Flush from victory and basking in the adulation of his closest supporters. Mike Hayden said yesterday that he expected a bill restoring capital punishment to be on his desk in the governor's office by March.
However, restoring the state's death penalty is not at the top of Hayden's agenda, as he begins to take control of the Kansas bureaucracy and replace high-seated Democrats with Republicans loyal to the new governor.
"The budget has got to be a major priority." Hayden said in his first news conference as governor-elect. "I've got to get my cabinet in touch and implement those constitutional amendments."
Tom Docking in the governor's race, voters Tuesday approved a massive revision of the Kansas Constitution, relaxing its ban on gambling to allow a state-run lottery and pari-mutu wagering on horse and dog racing. The electorate also adopted an amendment that will allow liquor to be served by the drink in Kansas restaurants.
With the governor's title under his belt, Hayden said he would launch a search for new cabinet officers and begin preparing a budget to be submitted to the 1967 Legislature in January.
He said the "continuing economic stagnation in Kansas and the decline in our estimate tax receipts" would likely result in a very austere budget next year.
The lottery and liquor by the drink will be the easiest to out in place. Hayden said. However,
Besides choosing Hayden over Democrat
it will not be as simple to gear up for parimutuel wagering because of the time needed to build tracks and the need to protect against infiltration by organized crime
Prison overcrowding and parole policy reformation also will be tackled by the new governor.
Hayden said he would carry out drug testing for Kansas prison guards, state employees who carry firearms and college athletes.
Building a highway in southeast Kansas and bringing Washhurn University in Topeka into the Board of Regents system are goals Hayden plans to follow up.
Haydon said he would not interfere in Gov. John Carlin's appointment of a new justice to the Kansas Supreme Court, to replace theeur. Mr. Carlin wants to be the president. However, he wants to talk to Carlin about some
coming vacancies on the Board of Regents.
Hayden said hard work and grassroots support were decisive in his 32,000 vote victory over Docking, in which the Republican carried 90 of the state's 105 counties.
"It was a great grassroots campaign." Hayden said as family and friends from his northwestern hometown of Atwood looked on in the House Chamber where he presided the past four years.
"It was a historic race in a lot of respects. It was a tremendous voter turnout and it was a hard fought and aggressive campaign."
Hayden said the success of Carlin, the Smolan Democrat who was barred by the Kansas Constitution from seeking a third consecutive term, gave him the inspiration and confidence that he, too, could win the governor's office.
