The exception is Lt. Gov. Harold Handley, the Republican nominee for governor. Handley winds up his handshaking and speechmaking tours tonight with a torchlight parade in Michigan City and plans nothing but relaxation Sunday and Monday. But his Democratic opponent, Terre Haute Mayor Ralph Tucker, has television appearances in Indianapolis Sunday night and in his hometown Monday night. Capehart to Rest Sen.

Wickard scheduled a nine-station three-hour radio “Demothon” Sunday during which he promised to answer questions of voters who telephone the stations. Monday was kept open for another possible live TV appearance. All four candidates will vote in their home precincts Tuesday, then come to Indianapolis and nervously pace hotel room floors while election returns tick over teletype machines during the night. Expect 2 Million Votes Handley will vote in LaPorte, Tucker in. Terre Haute, Wickard in a rural precinct near Camden and Capehart in Washington, Ind.

Voters also will cast ballots on the “fast" versus “slow” time issue for the “guidance” of the 1957 General Assembly.
