10 A MEDFOHD MAIL TRIBUNE, MEDFORD, ORE. MONDAY, OCTOBER 24. 1960 Old-Fashioned Campaigning Said Necessary To Suing Midwest Votes One Big Push Could Pay Off For Either Man i DAVID SMOTHERS Chicago UPU Old-tashloncd whistle stop campaigning within the next few wceki rmilrt decide who gets the (arm hell vote NOV 8. The race in key Midwest latc is o close that one big push by Vice President Klcfr nrri M. Nixon or Sen. John F Kennedy could pay oft with electrolal college votes which mlcht swlnir the election, Nixon Is campaigning this week in the three vote-heavy slates of Ohio, Michigan and Illinois. Kennedy supporters already are happy about their man s work in two 01 me states - Ohio and Michigan - and are bearing down on ' Illinois, the biggest prize of all In the Middle West. Campaign Turns Harsh Indian summer has harden ed into autumn crispness across the corn and wheat fields of the farm country and the presidential campaign has : turned hrsh along with the ; weather. . ; The old political pattern of the historically Republican 1 Midwest Is . beginning to emerge in some states - but not in the biggest ones. Despite Democratic hopes for a farm revolt, the two Da kolas, Indiana, Iowa, Ncbras ka and Kansas appear safe ' for the GOP this year. Demo crats are showing surprising strength In some areas, par tlcularly Kansas, but it prolr ably will not be enough. But there arc only 45 dec (oral votes amongst those - states. Balanced against them f are 81 vitally Important elec ' toral votes in Michigan, Mls sourl, Minnesota, Ohio and Wisconsin, where exports rate the Democratic chances even - to good. Leans to Nixon Illinois, with the Midwest's biggest package of 27 elector al votes, was still counted as leaning to Nixon - but not by very much. Nixon or Ken ncdy could decide the final outcome as they storm across the Prairie State this week, Time tested stump speaking and hand pumping could count a lot more thun television dc bules and single Issues such as Qucmoy-Matsu In these final battles for the Middle West, Except In the big cities, po liticians foil the TV debates between Nixon and Kennedy were sharpening Interest but chans ng few votes, The Midwest verdict on the - candidate's defense quarrel over the offshore Chinese Is lands of Quemoy and Matsu probably will not be known until after election day. Nev ertheless, there wore a few straws In the wind Indicating Kennedy's unwillingness to pledge certain support of the Islands appealed to traditional Midwest isolationism. ,. At Kalamazoo, Mich., for Instance, a taxi driver told a reporter travelling with Ken nedy "bo sure and tell Mr. Kennedy that he struck gold with that argument about those two islands not being . worth the bones of one Ameri- . can boy. My wife and I have three boys." In St. Paul, Minn,, a voter snid "It's all right with me it Kennedy gives away evcry- ' thing except the United States to keep us out of war. If It i' comes right down to It, he ; can give away everything ex j ccpt Minnesota." Dl Sail Encouraged Talk like that encouraged Ohio's Democratic governor, ; Michael Dl Salle, to predict that Kennedy would take the .'. Buckeye State by a record 620,000 votes. Ohio polls showed Kennedy edging ahead, but politicians said in private that the Issues of ex : pcrlcnce In foreign policy and fiscal conservation kept the ; outcome uncertain, Michigan had been rated i toss-up only two weeks ago .' but this week veteran obscrv- ' prs were weighing the odds In s Kennedy's favor. Enthusiastic crowds and a highly success- fill voter registration drive in Democratic Wayne (Detroit) . and Macomb counties gave : Kennedy the edge. Missouri Democrats were still confident they had their state wrapped up for Ken ncdy, experts saw the Demo crat moving ahead in Minne sota, and a voting switch in the traditionally Republican but heavily Catholic, Fox Riv er Valley could deliver Wis consin to the Kennedy camp. Nixon Organization Keyed To Appeal to Independent Voter By Congressional Quarterly Washington - An appeal to the independent votur, regard less of party tics, is the key note of Vice President Rich ard M. Nixon's Presidential campaign. This note is reflect ed through Nixon's entire Enigmatic Illinois stood out as a dueling ground not only between Nixon and Kennedy but between deep-rooted Re publicanism and the most ef ficient Democratic machine in the country. Downstate Illinois - all of the state outside of Chicago -has a tradition of Republican ism going back directly to na tive son Abraham Lincoln. The Democrats can't claim Lincoln, but they have Chi cago Mayor Rlchurd J. Daley, a past master at piling up top heavy majorities in Cook county. What's more, the Re publican state ticket Is fight ing tor its life in Illinois. campaign organization. The Nixon appeal is in con trast to the appeal on party lines which keynotes the cam paign organization of Sen. John F. Kennedy, discussed in a previous article. While the Kennedy organ ization has merged with the Democratic National Commit tee, Nixon's campaign staff and the Republican National Committee have remained separate entities. They coop crate closely, but the Nixon campaign appears anxious to avoid the label of "Republi can" on all that it docs. Independent Groups Both Nixon and Kennedy have established independent citizens' groups working for their campaigns, but Volun teers for Nixon-Lodge appear to be operating in a tar wider scale with more important re sponsibilities than the Kennedy-Johnson organization. The basic reason for the non-party emphasis of the Nixon campaign appears to be the realization that the Democratic party is now the majority party in the U.S. and that any successful Republi can Presidential campaign must draw on millions of in dependent or normally Demo cratic votes. In California, where Demo crats have long enjoyed a reg istration lead, Republicans have often been able to suc ceed by an appeal above party lines. That may be one reason that Robert Finch, a Los Angeles Republican lead er, is Nixon's Campaign Di rector. He keeps a general eye on campaign activities aimed at the independent and Democratic voter. Campaign Strategy Nixon's interest in winning independent and Democratic votes does not mean, however, that his campaign is being run by "amateurs." One of the most seasoned politicians of the U.S., former Republi can National Chairman Leon ard W. Hall, is Nixon's Gen eral Campaign Chairman. Nixon and his running mate, Henry Cabot Lodge, are both members of an over-all Nixon strategy board com prised of these politically as tute figures: v GOP National Chairman Thruston B. Morton (Ky); for mer chairman Meade Alcorn (Conn.) and Hugh Scott (now senator from Pennsylvania); Interior Secretary Fred A. Seaton; Treasury Undersecre tary Fred C. Scribner; fund raiser J. Clifford Folger; Re publican state chairman Ray C. Bliss (Ohio) and I. Lee Pot ter (Va.); and Washington state Nixon-Lodge chairman Mort Frayn. Brain Trust Like Kennedy, Nixon has assembled a group of speech writers, research men and "brain trusters" to aid him in his campaign. His chief assist ant on policy formulation is James Shepley of New York, on leave from his post as chief of U.S. correspondents for Time magazine. Dr. George L. Grassmuck of the University of Michigan heads Nixon's re search team. Submitting speech ideas to Nixon-who writes more of his own speeches than most lead ing politicians - are Shepley; Charles Lichenstein, former Notre Dame government pro fessor; William Peterson, New York university economics professor on leave; and Rita E. Hauser of Washington, D.C Nixon draws heavily on ad ministration officials for pol icy advice. Prominent among these are Attorney General William P. Rogers; Secretary of Labor James P. Mitchell; Health. Education and Wei- From the "land of cornT-for this event at SAFEWAY n Worry of FALSE TEETH Slipping or Irritating?
