OREGON PAGE SEVEN Political Observers Analyze Democrats' Upsurge In Western States Vote Race Edilor'i Note This Is another In a series of summing-up stories by roving Associated Press reporters who are analyzing the campaien in various sections oi the country ( By MORRIE LANUSBERG ' SACRAMENTO, Calif., I The big political question in Washing tail, Oregon, California and Neva da today is whether sn apparent Democratic upsurge will win for the party significant gains at the polls next Tuesday. Only the voters can decide this point, of course, but Republicans do not deny the Democrats are showing potential strength in this off-year election. There are too many signs of a Democratic swing in the far western country which went solidly for President Eisen hower in 1992. As an indication. Democratic registration in California increased hy 154,327 and the Republican by 68,837 since the June primary. Democrats lead nearly 3 to 2 in the total signup 3,266,831 to 2, 415,249. Spokane Plans 'Nixon Day' SPOKANE lB Mayor Arthur Meehan lias refused to withdraw his proclamation of Saturday as "Nixon Day" in Spokane but Be says the Democrats can have a "day" of their own when one of their national leaders visits the city. That was Meehan's answer Thursday to Mrs. E. Dawson Whittaker, the Democratic county chairman, when she appeared he fore the City Council for the sec ond time to protest the proclama tion, issued in honor of Vic Pres ident Richard Nixon who will be Here Saturday. : Mrs. whittaker termed the Nix on visit "a purely political trip," and said the Meehan proclama tion was "an Insult to 60,000 Spo kane Democrats." Meehan said his job is non partisan and added the proclam tion was his own idea and the City Council had nothing to do with it. The mayor said the "Nixon Day" proclamation was a court esy and the Democrats could ex pect a similar "day" when a par ty leader comes to the city. - "But that will be too late, with major election next week," said Mrs. Whittaker. Row deep does the seeming Dem ocratic trend go? Does it carry enough momentum to crack through Eisenhower's admitted personal popularity? Election of 3 U.S. senators and 42 representatives, as well as state oiiicers in three ot the state?. hinges, closely on the answer. Washington, with no race for th Senate or Governor, will choose 1 representatives, California, 30- Or egon, 4: and Nevada, 1. The COP, making a stand on the Eisenhower line, hopes to re tain the three Republican senators, one of them now a temporary ap. pointee. and maybe better its 30-12 share of the House memoers .irorn the four states. Republicans declare, they expect to throw back serious challenges against Sen. Guy Cordon (R-Ore) and Sen. Thomas H. .Kuchel (R- Califi, who succeeded vice presi dent Nixon in the Senate.

The OOP message, as exempli fied by Secretary of th Interior McKay s political tour, la that the power partnership, plan will help build new hydroelectric works; that the agricultural market is stable; that administration policies are good for the West. Other points of conflict, confined to state matters, are far from be ing overlooked. In California, for instance, proposed state liquor con trol and demands to "do some thing" about the amog plaguing Los Angeles are major issues. A gambling expose has created a po litical furor in Nevada. Here's, a quick rundown on the political, seen, in the four states: Washington won no races ior governor or the Senate, interest centers on the seven House posts six held by Republicans. - General opinion questions wnatn- er Republican Al Canwell of Spo kane can overcome th sisaoic-vote getting power displayed by.
