sonality of a winner, but he repeatedly put a toe in the political waters and withdrew it. It happened so many times that he began to act as coy as an old maid who has been propositioned by a drunk as he was asked: “Are you or are you not a candidate?” Rockefeller’s problem was his team. The men who counselled him seemed to have been recruited from the Mets. Kennedy made headlines because he had an opinion of everything. Rockefeller hedged everything. Ronald Reagan, like McCarthy, has the winsome kisser which appeals to emotional people who think, with their eyeballs. Hubert Humphrey was given a secret go-ahead to run for high

office, and he ran as though he forgot his road map. He too is intelligent, experienced and qualified for the Presidency, but he spoke too fast and too often and I had the impression that he couldn’t figure out which was worse—to offend the electorate or to offend Lyndon. I was shocked to learn that he weeps at weddings. His tears and Nixon’s venom would make a great White House team. Next Tuesday, save a thought for me as you sit at the TV because I will be watching all night with you. Huntley will make a one precinct vote in Nebraska sound like the knell of doom; Brinkley will cross a leg and drop a wry bon mot; Cronkite will give us the winner as soon as the first fistful of votes are in. Whoever the President may be, I hope, for the sake of my country, that he enjoys a better term of office than he did a campaign. . .

—Campaign voters—four out of seven of them Democrats—could go either way. Third party condidate George Wallace, whose organization is divided in the state, isn’t expected to get more than 10 per cent of the votes. If the key is organization, Nixon is in the best shape. His campaign is led by Lt. Gov. Robert H. Finch with the full cooperation of Reagan, who has been darting from state-to-state and around California asking the voters to elect Republicans “from the White House to the statehouse.” Unruh Backs Humphrey But State Assembly Speaker Jess M. Unruh, one of the most politically potent Democrats in the state, has been campaigning for legislative seats — and against the Johnson administration. Unruh, who led the state delegation to the Democratic National Convention, finally gave a full endorsement to Humphrey only two weeks before the election. It was Unruh who organized the state for John F. Kennedy in 1960—and came within a whisker of defeating Nixon on his home ground. But there are no signs that he’s doing the same for Humphrey. Before their final drives, Humphrey had spent nine days in the state campaigning and Nixon had spent seven, not counting a vacation he took after the national convention.

Outcome of election could be close
larger cities think they can blackmail the whites into giving them more welfare. The recent administration’s handling of these problems has greatly increased their feeling that we owe them more than is deserved. I am for civil rights, but I also believe in honest work for wages and food. President Johnson must have some reservations about H.H.H. because he has only spoken once for him and definitely lacked any enthusiasm for him then. But most important, Richard Nixon had for eight years the greatest teacher for running this country, President Eisenhower. Sincerely, E.P.
By LOUIS CASSELS America’s five weathervane counties are pointing toward a Nixon victory. But they aren’t too definite about it. The wind seems to have shifted toward Hubert Humphrey recently, and the outcome could be close. The so-called weathervane counties have voted with the winner in every presidential election in this century. Scattered widely across the nation, they are Coos and Strafford Counties, New Hampshire; Palo Alto County, Iowa; Laramie County, Wyoming, and Crook County, Oregon. Here are on-the-spot reports from UPI correspondents on how the election seems to be going in each of these counties: Coos County, New Hampshire Looks fairly safe for Richard M. Nixon. A straw poll conducted by the Manchester Union Leader showed Nixon with a 2-1 lead over Humphrey in the final week of the campaign. However, state Democratic Chairman William Craig claims that Humphrey is making a strong late surge and “it's getting closer and closer all the time.”, Strafford County, New Hampshire “Nixon right now would carry Strafford, but it would be mighty darn close,” says Wayne Chick, an astute political reporter who covers the county for Foster's Daily Democrat in Dover, N.H. A sidewalk poll conducted Wednesday in Strafford’s principal city, Rochester, showed Nixon and Humphrey running neck and neck. Palo Alto County, Iowa Most political observers rate —Firemen Avenue B and Fifth Street to extinguish a garage fire. The building, owned by Max Williams, caught fire due to faulty wiring according to firemen. A loss was estimated at $100. Another trip was made at 10:28 to extinguish flames in trees on the southside of the new gymnasium. Firemen said wind had blown flames from a trash fire into the trees. At 10:51 fire returned to the Sutherlin property because winds were blowing sparks from the burned building. A leaf fire was put out at 11:54 west of Poor’s Elevator. At 4:52 a run was made at the south edge of the Penn-Central tracks to aid a diesel engine.

Nixon slightly ahead, but add that it looks like a close contest. Humphrey has gained ground in the past 10 days, picking up support from, some supporters of Sen. Eugene J. McCarthy who previously had boycotted the campaign. A straw poll conducted this week by the Emmetsburg Democrat-Repor-ter gave Nixon 47.9 per cent, Humphrey 46.2 per cent, George C. Wallace 5.9 per cent of the /ote in the county. Republican County Chairman John Doran admits “slippage” in Nixon strength. “The presidential race now looks pretty close, with Humphrey picking up in the last couple of weeks,” says Doran. “Nixon still has a small lead, but not like it was before.” Laramie County, Wyoming Republican Chairman Ed Morrison claims Nixon will carry the county easily. But Democratic chairman Larry Schieck insists that “it’s going to be close.” Schieck contends Humphrey will carry the county “if we get out a large vote.” C rook County, Oregon Ron Bessonette, editor of the county’s weekly newspaper, the Central Oregonian, sees Nixon winning “pretty strongly—but no landslide.” He thinks Humphrey has lately made some inroads on Nixon’s strength, but “it would be a real upset if Humphrey won.” Every election year, a mock balloting is held at the high school in Prineville, the county seat. Over the years, returns from the student voting have proved an excellent barometer of how the county’s adults will vote. This year, Prineville high cast 238 votes for Nixon, 147 for Humphrey, 34 for George C. Wallace.

But since Morgan County is predominantly Republican this just might be the year. Mrs. Gray would love to set a precedent but Payne would like just as much to follow in his father’s footsteps and become a commissioner. His father Robert Payne Sr., was a county com. njissioner several years ago. About the Gray-Payne race, Cragen said; “We hear more people say that this is just not a woman’s job. This race is definitely receiving the most attention of any local races.” Dutton said he did not see any close races. “I don’t anticipate any trouble. Even the Democrats have told me they feel they have a poor ticket,” he said. Regarding the Gray-Payne race he said; “Thelma should win. It might be the closest race, since a woman is running. In memoriam In memory of our dear father, husband and grandfather, Forest C. O’Hair who passed away November 2, 1966. At night the stars shine down on A grave not far from here, Where sleeps the one we won’t forget And always loved so dear, No one knows the bitter pain We have suffered since we lost him. Life can never be the same. In our hearts his memory lingers, Sweetly, tender fond and true There is not a day, dear, dad That we do not think of you. Sadly missed by Reggie O'Hair and all the family.

DEAR HKLOISK. Here's how I store my extra coffee cups so they take up less space on my shelves. I use empty, one-half gallon plastic-coated milk cartons. First I pull the top completely open, wash and dry the carton real good. Then stack in five or six cups. My regu-lar-size eups fit in very nicely. Fold the top of the carton over and mash it down flat. Takes up very little space on the- shelf. The cartons can be laid on their sides and stacked on top of one another. I plan to cover mine with adhesive - backed plastic to match the decor of my kitchen, but I was so delighted with my discovery, just had to write right away and share* it Penny McGill
