y.cr ba.Li8A&t caw. la The- 'Day's lews By FRANK JENKINS As this is w rillcn, the 1960 Pres idential election campaign is ncaring its end. Less than two necks remain before election day. I think everyone' must agree that this is one of the most im portant elections in recent dec ades. We face a powerful and menacing enemy. Not since 1940 has the need for sound leader ship been so clearly apparent. If our leadership in the coming months and years is wise and sound, we may be able to keep out of war. If our leadership in these com ing years lacks wisdom and soundness and courage, we might GET INTO WAR and a nuclear war could be more terrible than any war ever was before. Yet, down here in the South west, where these sketches are written, there is little evidence of I'NUSUAL interest in this nation al election campaign. There is interest, of course. People wear Nixon buttons, and fhey wear Kennedy buttons. There are Nixon signs on the bumpers; of cars, and there are Kennedy signs. There are Nixon signs in a few windows, and there are Kennedy signs in a few windows. Occasionally a stranger hears po litical discussions in the hotel lobbies and the luncheon spots and the bars and other places where people congregate. But . Almost invariably These discussions are more con cerned with who is GOING to win than with who OUGHT to win. They are more academic than personal. Almost nowhere noes anyone seem to be very much heated up about it all, And- In Nevada, in New Mexico and In Arizona interest in the local and state election campaigns FAR exceeds interest in the na tional election campaign for Pres ident. Down in these states, roadside; Signs are quite popular as a po litical advertising medium. Fort every Nixon or Kennedy sign you see, there must be 100 signs urg ing votes for local and state can didates. The same is true of po litical advertising in the local and regional newspapers. Gelling back to Nixon buttons! and Kennedy buttons, this ap peal's to be -.;iient: Nixon buttons seem to he pre vailingly worn by business men, bankers. lawYers, doctors, sales men, etc. Kennedy buttons tend to show up more often on the la pels of working people The same thing seems to be evident in the case of bumper banners and window signs on au tomobiles. Driving along the high ways and the city streets down in these stales the stranger seems to note that there are more Nixon than Kennedy signs on the Cadil lacs and the Imperials and even on the Buicks and the Olds mobiles. The Kennedy signs seem more numerous on the smaller cars and the older ones. Wpather Klamath Falls and vicinity Fair through Wednesday. Colder tonight with low 25-30; high Wed nesday S2-57.
