1t was the best showing a party

since 1884.
Republicans triumphed in tn e
most important contests for gov

Democratic Gov. Edmund (P u
Vice President Richard M. Nixon.
This would virtually eliminate Nix
on from future consideration as a
Republican nominee for President.
Nixon was the COP candidate in
1860.
This apparent setback was offset
for the Republicans by victories

look for these states are tradition
ally of maximum importance n
presidential elections. The results
also gave the party three potential
contenders for presidential nomin-
alton
In New York Nelson Rockefeller
was reelected governor over al
most unknown Robert NJ Morgen-
thau, not by as much as Rockefel-
ler supporters hoped for and ex-
pected but by enough to keep him
in the front rank as possible
1864 standard bearer.
George Romney, running for the
first time for public office, was
elected governor of Michigan, de-
feating the Democratic incumbent,
John Swanson. This made Romney
former president of American Mo-
tors Corp, a name which will have
to be taken into account when the
Republicans hold their next NOM
mating convention.
One of the most spectacular of
all governorship victories, from
the national viewpoint, was t h a
scored by Rep. William w. Scran-

the other three state contests, U. S.
Rep. Harris B. Mcdowell, Jr., led
the Democratic ticket, whipping
Republican Wilmer F. Rudy Will

Incumbent State Treasurer Mrs.
Belle Everett topped Mrs. l. u s e

Incumbent State Auditor Ernest

his victory over Democrat h. n
Biggs Ill, but lost his home county,
Kent, by 1877 votes. He beat Biggs,
however, by 2,666 votes, statewide.
McDowell's victory for his fourth
term in Congress was the largest
he has scored, by far. In 1858, he
won by only Gas votes, and in 1860
he slipped through with only 1890.
McDowelPs majority Tuesday
was the largest recorded by any
candidate, including P e S | d e n

topped the now-Gov. Ebert N Car

demned and made protestations of re-
fusal of federal aid, it should be
borne in mind that the airplane in

Robert Durkee, candidate for State
Auditor, opposed moves to make n
number of presently elected officials
appointive, on the basis that the state
legislature is in session only so days
and for the rest of the time admins
trations can run wild. He said state
government as it presently exists
can not be compared with the fed
eral government where Congress is
in session almost constantly and can
keep it's finger on administrative ac-
tivities.
The Democratic candidate for
Auditor also pointed out that the
'black ink" status of the state
treasury about which the Governor
brags, is possible because of the
foresight of the 1859 Democratical-
ly controlled legislature. The pres
emit Governor was a member of the
1859 House and he voted against
the tax measures that have made
it possible for him to boast about
a balanced budget, Durkee said.

IBERIA and Sweden, during which
power experts from this country
studied hydroelectric generation
and high voltage transmission in
these countries.
The FPC Commissioner said the
reason he decided to deliver his

EdgeIined Highways Get
Motorists Thank YOU

Montana motorists give freely of
praise as they ride over highways that
are edgelined. Painted white, reflec-
tive guide Lines along the edges of
highways to delineate pavement and
shoulder is by far the most popular
and fastest growing traffic safety
practice introduced in the highway
field in years.
A few years ago, only few states
adopted the edgeline. AS of now, 46
states have resorted to the newest
safety method. More than $4,000
miles of U. S. highways have been
given edgeline treatment and-this
total will be increased year by year.

Marriage, Divorce

The Governors Committee on Do
nestle Relations received approval
from Gov. Tim Babcock Tuesday to
include in the Department of Public
Instructions budget $4,000 for a
manual on family responsibility to
be included in high school instruction.
The non-compulsory course would
not include sex instruction.
The committee report to the Gov
ernor, the result of dozen meetings
this past year, asks for compulsory
80 day Cooling off, period between
filing for divorce and the district
court hearing. If the marriage has
not warmed up, six months must
elapse before renlarriage.
Other recommendation include:
abolishing contract and common
law marriages, tight restrictions
on teen-age marriage, refusing to
issue licenses to drunks or drug
users, making fathers responsible
for the support of illegitimate chill
dren.
