Here Is Prediction
Of Presidential Race
An Opinion

It Is difficult to predict election results
with any degree of accuracy, but it is some
thing many Of us do every two years or so.
There are many methods by which we
try to arrive at a conclusion before the actual
voting takes place
Some forecasters take polls. These aren't
too useful Many get out the slide-rule to
figure percentages. More than likely the
results of such figuring leaves much to be
desired. Many talk to newspaper people, poll
ticians and others who have great interest
in elections. Then, there is always another
way to determine how an election may turn
out. This is to make a guess based on GER
tain feeling that one usually gets three
weeks two weeks and one week before cleo
ton. The latter is the method we use. Some
times it has worked and other times it has
not.
The appearance of John Kennedy in Sill
yer Spring last Sunday evening provided
shot in the arm for Democratic leaders and
workers and voters in Montgomery County.
However, it has been apparent that local
Democrats have been quite enthusiastic
about young Mr.. Kennedy since his nomina-
ton. Some Democrats were luke-warm to-
ward him before the party convention but
have learned to love him dearly since then.
Henry Cabot Lodges visit to Wheaton
Plaza on Monday evening added to the cam
paign spirit of the local Republican organ
iZation 1t can be said, however, that the
Republicans are better organized and seem
to be campaigning more effectively than they
have in years, and therefore. did not par
ticularly need political stimulant. But they
got it anyway.
Montgomery County has been carried
by the Republican Presidential candidate in

every national election since the 1910 cam.
paign of Franklin D. Roosevelt who was
then running for his third term. And then
he only won by about 500 votes.
Ike carried this county in 1856 by vote
of 56501 to 42,6O6 In 1912 he won by vote
of 42.6O3 to Bills. Harry Truman lost the
county in 1913 by a vote Of 23,174 for Dewey
and 1895 for Truman. Roosevelt lost the
county in 1914 by almost 10000 votes.
Thus, you can see that Montgomery Coun.
ty usually votes for the Republican Presi-
Dental nominee. And although Senator John
Kennedy is a most popular young man with
much appeal, it is felt he will lose this coun.
ty on November 8 by about 6416 votes.
This is how we figure:
There are at the present time approx
mately 5000 registered Democrats 5000
Republicans and 5000 declines. Four years
ago there were about 5000 Democrats,
$1,000 Republicans and 1000 declines.
In 1856, SO per cent of the registered
voters went to the polls and cast their votes
And the Republicans received 81 per cent
and the Democrats 43 per cent of that vote.
If SO per cent of the registered persons
go to the polls on November 8, the total
vote should be around $4,000. And if Nixon
receives only 50 per cent instead of 81 per
cent and Kennedy 4S per cent instead of 43
per cent this means that Nixon would win.
You can see this is a conservative figure
OF course, this election has many ele.
ments that others have not had. There seems
to be a greater closeness than ever before.
Then there seems to be more people who
are keeping their choice of candidates to
themselves. This could throw the calculations
into a spin

In the interest of factual &C.

A major function of the Plan

According TO Smith
World Series Madness
Oh, What It Costs Us!

The fever has subsidized, delirium has dis
appeared, the crisis is past and the patient is
in the convalescent stage-well on the way
to a recovery that was assured from the
outset.
We're referring to that annual malady
known as World Series Madness that afflicts
every area of the nation. including Montgom-
cry County, just about the time Indian Sum-
mer is due to roll around. No one is COM
pletely immune, but happily, everyone is sure
to survive.
Now that some semblance of normally
has been restored, we're prompted once
again to wonder about the actual cost-the
true cost-of one of the great spectacuars
of Americana. Not just the accepted cost
as reflected in the gate receipts the salaries
of the players and kindred expenditures, but
the hidden costs that never will show up on
a World Series tally sheet
How about the man hours lost during
to disrupt great nations economy than any
other activity short of total war? In coun-
try that can proudly boast of the greatest
productivity in the world and the highest
salaries to boot, just how much does the
World Series mean in dollars and cents?
It's bound to be a figure that would
stagger the Imagination.

lunch periods that strangely become after

Distinguished Visitors

MONTGOMERY County welcomed two distinguished Wis
1sA itorS this week.
One was Senator John F. Kennedy, the Democratic
presidential candidate who addressed wildly cheering
crowd Sunday evening at Montgomery Blair High School
The other was Henry Cabot Lodge, the Republican
vice presidential candidate who also addressed wildly
cheering crowd Monday evening at the Wheaton Plaza
Shopping Center.
Senator Kennedy provided shot in the political
of many a Democratic leader worker and voter.
Cabot Lodge great tonic to the efforts of the
local Republicans.
Thousands of persons turned out to see both candi-
dates And the enthusiasm almost overwhelming at
both rallies.
Perhaps the tremendous acclaim given each of these
personalities is indication that interest among the vot
ing public is the upswng Therefore it might be
pected that voters will hrong to the polls November
in great numbers. We hope so.

Citizen Apofhy

TE SPARSE citizen turnout at the joint appearance
Monday night of of the eight school board
didates is a disgrace to the county.
After sbtracng reporters and friends and relatives
who accompanied the candidates. there only 10 per-
who sufficiently interested to attend the meet
ing at the Homework Capital View Recreation Center
This is sad situation in county whose residents
boast Of being among the most politically wide awake in
the nation.
How can they expect to vote intelgently in cleo
ton which affects the education of their children they
don't take the trouble to hear the issues discussed?
What justification will they have for complaints
mounting school costs and educational standards when
they refuse to participate in discussion these vital
issues?
1t is difficult to understand such apathy in a cam
pan where opposing viewpoints by the various candidates
clear-cut.
On the one hand those who would continue the
present school board policies And the other cand
dates who seek more emphasis Intellectual achievement
Every voter has obligation to acquaint himself
thoroughly with the educational philosophy of each of the
candidates He can do this only he attends meetings
and asks questions He cannot do by guesswork or by
listening to his neighbors.

The slogans return to the
three RS, or basic education"
versus life adjustment" are be-
ing used freely as a bid for or
against candidates in the COM
ing school board election. This
is unfortunate as it blurs the
issues. All the candidates be-
lieve that our children should
have thorough mastery of the
three RS. There is no candidate
running who does not believe
this. There cannot be ''life-ad-
justment" without an adequate
mastery Of the facts and skills
included in "basic education"
The one includes the other. 1t
is not an either-or proposition.
But the secrets of the atom
would never have been discover
ed by men whose fundamental
education had been limited to
the three RS alone or even to
the mastering of "basic facts
and skills". Facts and skills are
of little use unless child
grows up learning how to use
them by thinking and reasoning.
In these days we cannot afford
to turn backward with nostal-
gia to an educational pattern
which fitted the days before the
atom. We dare not limit the edu-
cation of our boys and girls to
minimum essentials.
We are in danger of doing
this very thing If the people of
Montgomery County elect school
board members who have a mar
row view of education. We are
in need of those who are willing
to keep up with our increasing
knowledge of how children
learn and retain and use what
they learn. We need school
board members who are able to
listen, to study and appraise be-
fore making a decision. Such
people are to be found among
both so-called liberals" and
conservatives. 1t is important
that in this crucial election we
keep away from labels and slo-
gans and look rather at the can
didate and the record.
1t is with these points in mind
that ! have chosen as the two
candidates whom l can person
ally endorse, two women whose
records and whose campaign
presentations clearly show that
they can back what they think,
say, and do with thoughtfully
considered reasons.
Lucy Kicker would bring with
her to the school board her
many years of experience in
learning about the youth of our
county and the educational
needs of our boys and girls. She
has studied seriously and care
fully in this field as a member
of many of our most effective
county committees and commits
sions.
Lucy Mauer, as an economist.
would add to the school board
her special training in under
standing the fiscal problems of
our county. She has also served
on many committees involving
our children and our schools.
Both women are hard.headed
realists who know the value of |
a dollar and at the same time
are aware of the need to spend
dollars with wisdom in order to

they need today.
l intellectually and with
great confidence support these
two clear thinking women. We
shall be fortunate indeed If they
are elected to serve on our

candidates who do not try to
simplify issues with slogans.
