seemed on the slavery issue in their
convention two weeks earlier in Charles

AS the Republicans convened on May
16, the man who seemed most likely to
become their standard-bearer was Will
liam H. Seward, Senator and former
Governor of New York, who was res
olutely anti-slavery in his views.
Abraham Lincoln's celebrity, such as
it was, stemmed chiefly from his debates
with Stephen A. Douglas, the Illinois
Democrat, in the 1858 Senatorial cam
paign, and from his address in February,
1860, in New York's Cooper Union.

Republicans are dying hard this
year. however. The research di-
vision Of the G. o. P. National
Committee said last week that q
shift of only 1000 votes in four
States could have put Mr.. Nixon
into the White House. (The four
are Illinois CD, Missouri u3),
New Mexico a. and Nevada (3).
And in Illinois and Texas, the
Republicans are still pushing
their charges of vote frauds and
irregularities. But they do not
seem to be making much progress.
Senator Kennedy carried Illinois
by 1855 and Texas by 46,233
votes.
Republican and Democratic re-
count tallies In Cook County (Chi-
cago) precincts are wide apart.
The Republicans claim that Mr..
Nixon picked up 1889 votes on
the basis of a check of 500 paper
ballot precincts out of a total of
906. But the Democratic tally
showed a Nixon gain of only 957
after a check of the entire 906
precincts.

succeeded in winning Pathet Lao
consent to a coalition govern
ment, but the Nosavan party re-
fused to cooperate and marched

geared to Laotian neutralism in
the Southeast Asia area, and this
plus the fears of the SEATO ma
tions that Pathet Lao participa-
ton in the government meant
eventual Communist takeover, has
influenced unofficial SEATO sup
port for Gen. Nosavan.
