The Associated Press
TOPEKA — Democrat Tom Docking has outspent Republican Mike Hayden by more than $100,000 during the general election campaign after outsending him by more than $500,000 during the primary season, finance reports filed by the two governor candidates showed yesterday.
However, since the primary,
Hayden has raised about $75,000
more than Docking, and the GOP
contender has almost $100,000.
He banks the bank than Docking as
of Friday, the end of the reporting
period.
The latest reports, required by state law, covered the period from July 26 — just before the Aug. 5 primary election — through Oct. 4.
Docking reported spending $921,803 during that three-month period, while Hayden reported spending $806,870
Expenditures by the two gover
nor contenders since their campaigns began totals $1,686 million for Docking and $1,077 million for Fishing, of slightly more than $600,000

In the attorney general's race, the latest reports filed by the candidates showed incumbent Republican Bob Stephan had outspoken Democratic challenger Denise Martin. He said the general election campaign.

Moore started the period with $7,802, took in $193,176 and spent $183,457 for a balance of $17,521, according to his report.
In other statewide races, the new reports for the general election period showed these figures:
Secretary of State:
Republican Bill Graves, collected $141,303 and spent $135,617 and with a carryover from the previous reporting period still had $11,018 cash on hand; Democrat Judy Runnels received $93,882, spent $81,424 and had a balance of $16,555.

■ Insurance commissioner: Incumbent Republican Fletcher Bell received $30,625, spent $34,147 and still had a balance of $88,912 because of a large carryover from his previous report; Democrat Daniel Landers reported he started with $47, spent nothing and still had that $47 in his campaign account.
Networks will delay poll results
WASHINGTON — The country's three major television networks, honoring a pledge to Congress, will project state winners only after polls close Tuesday. But ABC and NBC said yesterday that they wouldn't wait to predict which party would control the Senate.
United Press International
"We could know fairly early, before 10 o'clock," said NBC senior executive producer Paul Greenberg. "Maybe not the total shape, but who'd have the majority."
The network would stop short of saying "these are the states" that made a difference.
"On the other hand, we might not know until the next
morning if the vote is even, he said. Several months after the 1984 election, ABC, NBC and
CBS promised that they would, in the future, refrain from either predicting or characterizing results in a state based on exit polls until voting had ended there.
"We will hold to the ground rules we have established." said Jeff Grainick, ABC vice president and executive producer of special programming. "We're not going to project a winner until the polls have closed."
But he said ABC, which like NBC substantially scaled back its election programming this year, would analyze the poll results throughout the day to spot and report on other trends and developments.
CBS, the only network planning full coverage — 8 p.m. till 2 a.m. — will report who controls Congress if voting is over in enough states to back up such a projection, said network spokeswoman Ann Morlogan.
Hayden brochure contains errors
The Associated Press
TOPEKA — The campaign chairman for Democratic governor candidate Tom Docking called on Republican contender Mike Hayden yesterday to "apologize to the people of Kansas" for a "distorted" campaign pamphlet sent to several thousand GOP and independent voters.
Tom Laing, Docking's manager, said the Democratic nominee's campaign will demand every day until Tuesday's election that Hayden "come clean with the voters of Kansas."
Kelley Hayden, chief spokesman for the Republican contender's campaign, said no decision has been made about whether to send a letter informing voters who got the brochure, which was mailed out earlier this week, that it contains inaccuracies.
The brochure, mailed to voters in targeted precincts in 10 counties alleges there has been a "total breakdown of law and order in Kansas" during Gov. John Carlin's administration. The state abolished its death penalty and an infamous killer, Yorkie Smith, would have been executed under Kansas' old death penalty law.
Crime in Kansas rose just 2 percent the first half of this year; the state's capital punishment law was struck down by the U.S. Supreme Court, not the legislature, and Smith would not have been executed for his conviction of second degree murder.
Mike Hayden accepted responsibility for the brochure and defended its basic thrust at a news conference and during a televised debate with Docking on Tuesday, conceding it contained mistakes of fact.
GOP hopes campaign of Reagan sways vote
United Press International
EVANSVILLE, Ind. — The World Series is over. The leaves are dropping to the ground. But President Reagan's campaign tour is providing a last bit of autumn color.
Giant flags hang from walls, red-white-and-blue balloons strain against the netting in rafters and hand-made signs bearing approved building permits. Crowds filling indoor arenas and airplane hangars around the country.
The president is packing them in, turning them on and reviving them.
These days, campaigns are waged and won on television screens, through news reports, debates and commercials.
Reagan has done his part, by cutting tape for his candidates and by planning a nationwide television and Republican Sunday night to vote Republican.
But it is on the road — Springfield, Mo. Columbus, Ga. and Spokane, Ca., where the old-fashioned campaign rally may be making its last stand.
Reagan arrives in a half-mile-long motorcade, stays in a holding room for a few minutes and then strides on stage to "Hail to the Chief."
Reagan returns the favor by publicly thanking the bands from the podium, setting off shrill, joyous chants of applause. He messes up a name once in a white.
Reagan is introduced by the local Senate candidate as "the greatest president in history," the crowds roar and stomp, and just as the president begins, someone from the crowd yells, "We love you, Ronnie."
"Well . . . I love you, too," he coos.
He gives "the speech," changing only the names of the local candidates and opponents, tells the same corny jokes making fun of liberals in Congress, then becomes serious.
"You know, my name will never appear on a ballot again," he begins, about to exhort his fans to vote for the GOP Senate candidate. But he seldom finishes the line. The crowd begins shouting, "four more years."
Reagan replies, "If you mean I should live four more years, I'm with you."
