Political soothsayers presently give Sen. John F. Kennedy, the . edge in Alaska and Vice Presi dent Richard M Nixon the edge in Hawaii. . ... i, As many as i 180,000 per sons - a whopping 95 per cent of the registered voters - may go : to the polls in Hawaii, About 50,000 Alaskans are ex pected to vote. Alaska was admitted to the Union in 1958 and Hawaii in 1959'. Before that residents could vote only in territorial contests in presidential elec tion years. Swings io GOP . In the island state of Ha waii,, 2,000 miles off the Cali fornia coast, voter ratio in the .1959 state election was 92-48 in i favor of the Democrats.
