THE RELIGIOUS ISSUE" -
There is one point that I think
needs making. Newspapermen, it
seems to me, are going overheard
on this so-called religious issue.
I have no doubt that it plays a
part, both among Catholics and
Professionals. Many of the former
considered Kennedy "one of the
boys" and nothing he did or said
would matter. Undoubtedly in
state, which once had a big xxx
movement, there are Protestants
who think no Catholic is free of
Vatican control
But it seems to me unfair to
Kennedy-and to his opponents, too
if everytime he goes on the air
or is interviewed he has to face up
to this so-called issue. There
may be many things wrong with
Kennedy; his record may be vul-
nerable; he may not fight along
certain lines; he may even be just
a dabbler in politics. All these
things have been said about him.
Yet he has been more forth
right on the religious issue than
many other politicians of any
faith. The big question in many
peoples minds was whether he, as
a Catholic president, would be
permitted or forbidden" by his
Church to sit down with Khrush-
chew.
Kennedy said that no such ord
ers prohibiting face-to-face nego-
tiations with the Russians would
ever be given by church leaders
and, If given, they would mot
be obeyed" Until someone can
prove he would behave otherwise
this is one subject I think has been
thoroughly exhausted.

politicians have discovered in the
past that Wisconsin can be the
graveyard of a mans White House
ambitions.
Kennedy really needed to make
a clean sweep of the states 10
districts and have a solid delega-
ton from the Badger state in his
corner when the main bout opens
in Los Angeles. Unfortunately fol-
him his vote, while impressive, was
not decisive.
Even before Wisconsin, Hum.
phrey was always an underdog
with an outside chance, under OPP
timum conditions, Of winning the
No. l spot on the ticket. His Wis
consin showing was respectable
but not spectacular.
Both men, no matter who wins
in West Virginia, will have a size
able number of delegates support
ing them. Humphrey may have
100 to $50, scattered around the
country. Kennedy will probably
have 300 to 400. This will put them
in the position Of making some
good political trades, but not in a
position to control events at the
convention.

be of value to all the other Dem
ocratic hopefuls. Some of the con-
illusions are a bit tentative and
even contradictory. yet they are
worth studying and undoubtedly
will be examined as a guide-line
to the party's future course.
First, Humphreys militant tao,
! tics in the farm areas won him a
bigger vote than the pollsters
thought he had any right to expect
Second, Kennedy's moderate ap-
proach paid off for him in the big
cities, even in those districts where
labor unions are active. Some OF
this vote may have been along re.
lgious lines, but it also showed
that organized workers do not de.
