WHAT AMERICA THINKS
U. N. Uproor Gives
Edge to Kennedy

real estate broker: "It will help
Kennedy because Nixon and
Khrushchey did not get along
well when they met in Russia. "
A retired Iowan: Castro and
Khrushchev said they would
not deal with Nixon or Ike" A
New York State lawyer: "Ken-
nedy has better ways of con-
vincing the U. N. He Is more
persuasive than Nixon"
OF those who thought Mr.,
Nixon would benefit. the most
common reason was that he
had stood up to Mr.. Khru-
Shchev. Another frequent rea-
son was that Mr.. Nixon'S run
ming mate, Henry Cabot Lodge,
had shown himself strong in
dealing with the Soviets in the
U. N.
Here are typical responses:
A New York saleSman'S wife:
'Khrushchev's rather scared OF
Nixon" A Massachusetts, statis-
tician: Nixon gains stature
because Lodge is his running
mate" A retired New Jersey
patrolman: Kennedy is too
outspoken. He loses out by his
frankneSs. He lacks diplomacy"

I hope when you vote for him,
you'll vote for me, too"
In addition to the personal
strength of their two top State
candidates, the Democrats can
count on a maximum effort
from the potent Chicago Or
ganization headed by Mayor
Richard j. Daley.
One of the last Of the old
time patronage machines, it
will flex its muscle the night
of November 4 with a torch
light parade and rally for Sem
ator Kennedy that promises to
be an extravaganza Of Holly
wood proportions and then
come back on November 8, as
one Of its leaders put it, Ito
turn out every damned Demo-
cratic vote that can be
squeezed out Of this city"
Even in the Negro wards of
the city. where Republicans
hoped to register some gains
against the Kennedy johnson
ticket, the Democrats under
Representative Dawson appear
ready to turn out their usual
overwhelming margins. Only in
the Polish wards, which swung
heavily to Mr.. Eisenhower in
1852 and 1856, do Republicans
have q chance to consolidate
their gains. The key there is
the candidacy of Benjamin
Adamowski. q Republican, for
a second term as States At
torney. He is expected to help
the Republican ticket up and
down. the 1ine.
Even the downstate Demo-
Gratis led by State Representa-
tive Paul Powell. who almost
instinctively oppose anything
Mayor Daley and Cook County
support, this year are giving
enthusiastic backing to the
State and national ticket. The
somewhat cynical view Of Cook
County Democrats is that Mr..
Powell and his friends sense
a victory by Mr.. Kerner and
perhaps Senator Kennedy, and
do not want to be out in the
cold when the favors are dis
tributed.
What all this adds up to is
a belief held by many Demo-
Gratis that If the election we're
being held now Senator Ken
nedy could slide in on the coat
tails Of Mr.. Kerner and Sena-
tor Douglas and the Demo-
cratic organization. winning
the State by perhaps 10000
votes.
He would, in this view, run
behind them. not just because
his opponent is, more popular
in the State than theirs but
because his total win also be

Catholic sentiment in Central
and Southern Illinois.
Democrats and Republicans
are agreed that the religious
issue" has ahated somewhat in
recent weeks but still is proba-
bly, q drag on Senator Kennedy
in this State.
This view Of the Democratic
nominees position is supported
by the early returns Of the Chi
cago Sun-Times' straw poll.
Yesterdays tabulation showed
Senator Douglas winning with
almost 81 per cent Of the votes;
Mr.. Kerner winning with al
most Sc per cent; and Senator
Kennedy leading Mr.. Nixon,
Sis per cent to 48.5 per cent.
OvercOnfldence Feared
Even those Democrats who
believe Senator Kennedy would
win today, are a bit apprehen-
sive about the future.
One veteran leader said: II
botherS me q bit. I'd rather see
it this way a week before the
election. All I've been doing
the last few days is warning
precinct workers about over
confidence" s
What causes this man and
others like him concern is the
evidence of the last few days
that Gov. Stratton and Mr.. Wit
wer have begun to come up a
bit.
The Governor, touring down.
State and the suburbs by hell
copter, has been accusing Mr..
Kerner Of being subservient to
Mayor Daley and City Hall and
Of evading q clear stand on a
State income tax, which the
Governor fatty opposes.
Mr.. Witwer, who has been
seeking debates with Senator
Douglas for some time, finally
caught up with him Thursday
and delighted an audience of
State Chamber Of Commerce
members by swapping barb for
barb with the veteran Demo-
crat.
Among the Democrats who
see Senator Kennedy as a coat
tail rider, there is a suspicion
that Mr.. Kerner and Senator
Douglas may not have big
enough margins by election day
to carry him in.
There is. however, a minority
view Of the Illinois situation
which is worth recording simply
because the Democrat who
holds it did not gain his pres
ent position Of pre-eminence by
being consistently wrong in his
political judgments.
In this mans view, there is
little doubt that as Of today,
Mr.. Nixon has greater personal
strength in Illinois than Sen
ator Kennedy. But, he notes,
both men will be in the State
this coming week for their long
est stay Of the campaign. Both
will work downstate towns and
Chicago suburbs.
After seeing what Kennedy
did his first day downstate two
weeks ago." this man says, II
think he can do it all by
himself. BY election day, you
mark my words, Kennedy will
lead the Democratic ticket in
this State, and he'll win it

position. Preliminary registra-
ton figures for this year indi-
cate q drop of $4,000 voters in
the city Of Chicago. which has
one of the most efilcient Demo-
cratic organizations in the
country, but an increase of
$4,000 voters in the Republi-
can suburbs Of Cook County.
Why. then, are the Republi-
cans at all worried? Because,
as one Of them put it, I'VE have
q Governor who ran S04.0 900
votes behind President Eisen-
hover in 1856 and who insists
he wants q third term, even
though we don't have third
terms in Illinois"
There is, in short, a fear that
Gov. Stratton may drag the
ticket down to defeat.
Strong Opponent
He Is opposed by otto Kerner
jr., q Cook County Judge with
q name widely known through
the State and a reputation
good enough to win him the
unanimous Endorsement of the
Chicago newspapers when he
ran for reelection to the court
in 1858.
The; Stratton administration
has several major accomplish
EnentS Of which to boast in fiscal
affairs. road building and legis-
lative reapportionment. But it
has also been tinged by scandal.
During his first term, the
state auditor was jailed for
stealing almost $1.6 million of
State funds. During his second
term, the Governors admin
istrative assistant was fined for
evading tax payments on $77,-
600 Of income whose source has
never been revealed.
: For these reasons as well as
the anti-third term tradition,
Judge Kefner has received the
Endorsement Of tyaditionally
Republican newspapers in Rock
ford, Peoria and Bloomington,
as ven as Of two Chicago news
papers which are supporting
Mr.. Nixon for President.
Splitting Is Feared
=, These ticket-splitting sug-
gestions are viewed with alarm
by many Republicans and
were described as dangerous"
In q Chicago Tribune editorial
this week.
AS one Republican put it:
We're always hurt, by split
tickets. because the Democratic
organization gets its vote out
right down the line.
The dread ticket-spliVting
tendency WIN be heightened by
the candidacy Of Senator
Douglas, who has shown amaz-
ing strength In Republican
dowr1state counties in his two
previous races.
The Senator's opponent, Mr..
WitWer. is a Chicago attorney
Of irnpeccable reputation who
has drawn wide commentator
for his past work in leading
l1onpartiSan efforts for reform
of the State Constitution.
But this is his first race for

view Of Illinois observers, al
most completely unknown, not
only to the general public but
to the bulk Of Republican
workers.
