Switch of 303,767 Votes Seen deeded for Kennedy To

(50P Party Unity
Seen To Prevail
Over Split Demos
By JAMES C. ANDERSON
Sacramento r- IUPD - Gov.
Edmund G. Brown shed his
coat and shoes, loosened his
tie, settled back in the seat
of his Air National Guard
transport "Grizzly" and sum
med up California's president
ial election prospects this
way:
"All we have to do is switch
303,767 votes to make Ken
nedy a winner - and I think
there are many Democrats out
here who don't like Nixon
but did like Ike."
The Democratic governor's
size-up was made to this cor
respondent after Sen. John F.
Kennedy's recent whistle-stop
tour of California.
The Republican view of
Nixon's chances in California
is that GOP party unity will
prevail over a divided Demo
cratic party.
Lacks Bipartisan Appeal
. Brown's feeling, shared by
several far western Democrat
ic leaders, is that Richard M.
Nixon lacks the bipartisan
popular appeal of Dwight D.
Eisenhower. They do not dis
count Nixon's capabilities or
his skill as a campaigner. But
as B lawn pujt it: '
"Nobody is neutral about
Nixon. People are for him or
against him. I hope there are
enough of them against him
to put" Kennedy over."
Kennedy, however, faces no
easy task in California.
Despite a 3-to-2 edge in
Democratic registration, the
Eisenhower-Nixon ticket won
in 1956 by 607,533 votes. Nix
on is popular in his home
state and he has a dedicated
organization here, skilled in
political campaigns. He also
enjoys considerable newspa
'. per support and strong finan
cial backing.
Nixon is well known as a

native son wnile Kennedy's
Boston accent marked him in
his tour through the farm
areas as an easterner.
The Republicans feel, and
they cite as the authority Ken
nedy's brother, Ted, that Cali
fornia Democrats are not
solidly behind Kennedy. The
Republican organization on
the other hand, was and is
hand-picked by Nixon and
Republican voters and, bar
ring a handful of Rockefeller
supporters, appears to be with
him all the way.
Ted Kennedy recently, de
scribed California and New
York as the two key states
in the presidential contest.
While conceding that there
are infra-party splits in Cali
fornia, Kennedy said he felt
the various elements would
unite if for no other reason
than on the common ground
of their dislike of Nixon.
The division in the Demo
cratic party in California was
apparent to the entire nation
at the Los Angeles conven
tion when the slate's delega
tion split almost. 50-50 be
tween Adlai Stevenson and
Kennedy. Brown supported
Kennedy but he couldn't car
ry his own delegation with
him.
Nor was the nomination of
Sen. Lyndon B. Johnson as
Kennedy's running mate an
unqualified success with the
liberal element in the party,
notably the California Demo
cratic Council (CDC), an or
ganization of 50,000 grass
roots Democrats whose influ
ence has been increasing in
the past five years.
But the mutterings and
Eight Persons Die of
Accidental Poisoning
Portland-llOT-Eight persons
died out of 411 in Oregon
who were accidentally poi
soned last year.
The Oregon Poison Con
trol Registry Office said 315
of tlie cases were children
less than 5 years old. The
city of Portland had 212 of
the cases.
grumblings over the Demo
cratic ticket appear to have
subsided and there is now at
least a surface show of unity
behind Kennedy.
Nixon's problem in captur
ing the state's 32 electoral
votes appears to lie in the
fact that there has been a
pronounced Democratic trend
in California since 1956.
Two years ago, Brown
swamped Republican William
F. Knowland in the guberna
torial fight by more than a
million votes.
Both houses of the Legisla
ture, Republican for 20 years,
now are controlled by sub
stantial Democratic majori
ties. And the state's congres
sional delegation, 18-11 Re
publican in 1952, now stands
at 16-14 Democratic.
However, Republicans
claim the pendulum is swing
intt hnrk that Brown's oer-
sonal popularity has decreas
ed during his two years in of
fice and that Republican for
tunes are on the upswing.
Edge in Los Angeles
Los Angeles city and coun
ty is the major target in the
campaign. There. Nixon has
.mi rriL'e. He was raised in
Los Angeles county, where 40
per cent of the vote is, ana
it w:is there that he wased
successful campaigns for Con
gross, the U. S. Senate and
twice for vice president.
Ki-nneriv. in his first major
sortie into his opponent's back
yard, packed the Shrine au
ditorium for a speech. He had
iun imin nf such entertain
ment stars as Frank Sinatra.
Gene Kelly, Tony Curtis ana
Ella Fitzgerald.
Nixon, delayed by a knee
infetcion from launching his
campaign, did not hit Cali
fornia until after Kennedy's
whistle-stop tour. Then, he
drew 40,000 persons to ban
Francisco's Union Square.
Slate Seen Toss-Up
While leaders of botn par
tics confidently predict vic
tory for their man in Novem
ber, their off-the-record as
sessment Ms up to the fact
it is a to.-,s-up right now in
the Golden slate.
Barring the injection of a
stimulating issue in the next
few weeks, the California
camgaign boils down to a
popularity contest.
As one wag put it:
"The winner in California
will be cither John F. Nixon
or Richard M. Kennedy."
