Drown aoofar to be heading for a photo finish in their race lor governor ui California. gm mihlir ooinion polls and prediction! by ome of the slate a top political win era point to an exceedingly close election on Nov. 8. laiosi Knmnlinff of voter opinion (the California Poll) gives the 57-year-old Demo cratic governor a 47 per cent i .11 r rant CdSe. Last lu -i-i - - i.- April, a similar sampling ni Rmwn on ton 45-42, But both men face problems as they prepare to tauncn their final campaign assault on Labor Day. 'Uphill for Nixon' Jack S. McDowell, political editor of the San Francisco News-Call Bulletin, summed it up this way: "Ihis Is a real horse race. Nixon has and always has had an uphill fight because of the preponderance of registered Democrats. He still has the job of getting the conservative Republicans behind him and at the same time wooing the Democratic vote. "But on the other side of the coin," McDowell added, "the June primary results show almost 19 per cent of the Democrats voted against Brown. To mc, this Is a point worth considering." James B a s e tt, political analyst for the Los Angeles Times, rates the Brown-Nixon contest a tossup. "The polls haven't altered our view that the autumn runoff will be breathlessly close," Bassett said. GOP Primary Turnout He noted that one poll showed about one out of every three -voters felt Brown had done a "poor Job" as gover nor. Herbert L. Phillips, politi cal editor of the McClatchy newspapers, (Sac r a m t n t o, Fresno, Modesto), Joined In the prediction of a close race. But he said he fell the Demo cratic edge In registration (56.6 per cent to 40.1 per cent) gave Brown an advantage. "The primary results show ed a substantially larger Re publican turnout," Phillips aiH. "Yet. the total Demo cratic vole In all of the seven statewide contests was more than the Republican vote in every case." A recent United Press In ternational poll of all mem bers of the slate legislature split strictly along parly lines on the question of who would he the November winner. Party Lint Predictions But when asked to predict the margin of victory in a state with more than 7 mil lion voters, most of the legis lators who picked Brown said he would win by 200,000 to 500,000 votes. Those favoring Nixon estimated his margin of victory would be from only 50,000 votes to a high of 250.000. On Labor Day, both will launch a seven day - a work campaign schedule which by November will have seen Ihe two men cover all of the 58 counties in the search for voles. They are scheduled for onlv two face-to-face meetings In the fall. One will be a tele vised debate some time In mid-October.
