Kennedy Given Edge in Alaska; Nixon Expected To Win in Hawaii
Islands Show
GOP Resurgence,
Factors Cited
By PETER J. HAYES
San Francisco - (UPD - Snow
..chilled Alaska and sun-spangled
Hawaii mark another po
litical milestone Nov. 8 when
their citizens get their first
"xhance to vote for president
as residents of the 49th and
50th states. ;
; 'The first new members of
the Union since 1912 may go
separate ways and give three
electoral votes to each presi'
dential , candidate. 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.
Yet that election marked a
GOP resurgence after a five-
naap T"iimnri.aHr trpnH. The
-
Republicans named the gov
e'rior, lieutenant governor
and one of two U.S.' senators
and captured control of the
state Senate,
Nixon's August tour of the
"Paradise of the Pacific" plus
four previous visits, as well as
his help in the statehood fight,
were cited as strong factors in
his favor.
- About 30 per cent of Ha
waii's "melting pot" 600,000
population is Catholic. .The
religious issue has been play
ed down by newspapers, poli
ticians and commentators.
In Democratic Camp
" Meanwhile, 2,000 miles to
:the. north, the 49th state of
-Alaska will go Democratic if
ttt Autfucif ni-lmarv plppt.inn is
.rolled up lopsided margins
over the combined vote for
nmnutjnff Remihllcans. Alas-
.' ka's governor, two U.S. sena
tors and lone congressman are
Democrats.
Kennedy became the first
presidential candidate to cam
paign in Alaska, and in an
Anchorage speech pushed for
resources development. This,
with special attention to pow
er development, is a major
issue in Alaska with its sparse
215,000 population.
Also of major importance to
the state at Russia's back door
is defense spending. Alaska's
economy depends on defense
money more than any other
state and proposals to close
Ladd Air Force Base' near
Fairbanks did nothing to. en
hance GOP chances.

If there were such a thing
as a "kiddies' vote," President
Eisenhower would win it
hands down.
The 70-year-old grandfather
of four seems to be making
a special point of tweaking
noses, tousling hnir, chuck
ing chins and shaking hands
of children on his "non-political"
tour.
This may be part of his
soft-sell approach to cam
paigning for the Republican
ticket this fall. White House
observers are convinced that
the President has decided to
avoid anything that might be
interpreted by the American
voters as extreme partisan
ship. .
One reason for this is that

Eisenhower and his political
advisers believe that Vice

must capture a big share of
the so-c ailed independent

registered Republicans-Eisen
