Demos Make Inroads in GOP States
BOSTON — (UPI) — Fremont,
Blaime, Hughes, Landon, Willkie,
Dewey and Nixon—these were the
men nominated for president by the
Republican Party who never made
the White House. They all carried
Vermont.
Vermont, haven for harried urbanites and stronghold of laconic yankee humor, is the only state of the 50 which has never voted Democratic in a presidential election.
Democrats, who hold three of the four governorships and four of the five Senate seats up for election this November in New England, would like to give President Johnson a triumph which eluded even Franklin D. Roosevelt—a Democratic sweep of all six states in the region.
BESIDES CARRYING Vermont, this also would entail victories in Maine, which has not voted Democratic since the Bull Moose movement split the GOP vote in 1912, and in New Hampshire, which last sucumbed to the lure of a Democrat when Roosevelt ran for a fourth term in 1944.
Throughout the region the big issue in national and state contests is Barry Goldwater and his controversial opinions. Several Republican incumbents and office-seekers are playing down their political affiliation and avoiding taking a stand alongside the GOP presidential nominee.
There seems to be little doubt among political observers that the three southern New England states—Connecticut, Rhode Island and Massachusetts, where Democratic rule has strengthened steadily in recent years—will support Johnson.
many NEWSPAPERS which usually or always have supported Republicans have endorsed Johnson.
The three northern states have shown fissures in their rock-ribbed Republicanism of late. Politicians there, including many prominent Republicans, feel yankee uneasiness about Goldwater's views, especially on foreign policy. This may lead many to cast their first Democratic vote or to decide they cannot vote in
Extension Site May Take Time
Acquisition of the present Lawrence post office building, if it happens at all, may take months, Keith Lawton, vice-chancellor for operations, said yesterday.
The Board of Regents announced Saturday they will look into possible acquisition of the building, located at 645 New Hampshire St., for use as an extension center for KU and for the state.
The University had been notified by the State Surplus Property Agency that the post office would be placed on the surplus list as a result of the construction of a new post office building at 7th and Vermont streets.
streets:
Chancellor W. Clarke Wescoe proposed the regents' inquiry into the matter, with the hope that securing the building would make it possible for the University to transfer some of its extension services there and relieve crowded conditions in the Extension Building north of the Kansas Union.
In addition, the old post office building would probably house a state-wide director of extension services, Lawton said, "This office does not now exist," he continued, "but when it is established, the director will coordinate extension activities of all state agencies, with the exception of Agricultural Extension at Kansas State University.

good conscience for either presidential candidate.
Vermont, which has sent an internationalist like George D. Aiken to the U.S. Senate since 1940, has shown signs of political ownerness. It elected its first Democratic congressman in 106 years' in 1958 only to turn him out two years later. Then in 1962 it elected its first Democratic governor in 109 years.

NEW HAMPSHIRE'S first Democratic governor in 40 years, John W. King, riding a crest of popularity resulting from his approval of legislation creating the only state sweepstakes in the nation, faces the same Republican he beat in 1962, former state legislator John Pillsbury.
In Connecticut, many top Republicans are too "liberal" to accept Goldwater's philosophy. Even state chairman A. Searle Pinney has made

Democratic Sen. Thomas J. Dodd is given a substantial edge over his GOP opponent, former Gov. John D. Lodge. There is also some thought that the Democrats will take all of the Connecticut's six seats in the House. They now hold five of them.
