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.
In Nevada, though, prospects ap

noils indicate, however, that both

There is sharp contention as well
in California's 30 congressional diS'
t-.icts. now represented by 19 Re
publicans and 11 Democrats. Mrs.

The course of debate snoots 011
into bread-and-butter issues affect
ing the West's pocketbook. Public
vs.' private power in the Pacific
Northwest. Farm prices and Jobs
in California. Tariff protection for
mining In Nevada. '
Democratic candiaatea are nw
ting away at what they term a
power "giveaway" pqagram, fall
ing farm aubsidles and. continued
high prices for consumer goods.
They contend the people are disen
chanted with the OOP record and
show more than the normal on-
ear reaction- against the party
in power. ' .
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:

governor or the Senate, interest
centers on the seven House posts
