Governorship Race
By The Associated Press
,Voters elected at least eight new
°°Republican governors" last' night
ater campaigns which stressed
national issues and moderate,
policies:
Two new Democratic governors
were elected. Ten incumbents re-
tained their authority. At least
five of the ten incumbents won in
Southern states, several of whose
,campaigns h a d segregationist
overtones.
1 The Republicans captured their
first Southern governorship since
post-Civil War Reconstruction as
Claude Kirk Jr. defeated Miami
Democratic Mayor Robert King
High.
Unlike most new Republican
gubernatorial gains, Kirk's may
have capitalized on a "white back-
lash" 'vote. Kirk charged his op-
ponent with favoring Negroes and
Several of the new Republican
governorshipss aresin idwestern
and western states: Arizona, New
Mexico, California, Nebraska and
Nevada. Republicans controlled
party authority with new execu-
tives in Oklahoma and Oregon.
Their incumbent governors were,
retained in Colorado, Massachu'-
setts, Michigan, New York, Ohio,
Wisconsin, Soutt" Dakota, and
Rhode Island.
New Democrats were elected in
Kansas, Maine and Montana. New
Democrats maintaining the party's
hold on the executive seat were
elected in Alabama, Georgia and
Tennessee.
-In Alabama, the new figure
was Lurleen Wallace, wife of Gov..
George Wallace.
-In Georgia, segregationist Les-
ter Maddox pulled a plurality over
conservative Republican opponent
in a race characterized by simi-
larity of platforms.
In Tennessee, the new Demo-
crat was former Gov. Buford El-
lington, who had only token op-
position from three independent
candidates. Ellington was governor
from 1959-63.
The new Republican governors
included:
-In California, Republican Ron-
ald Reagan swamped incumbent
Gov. Edmund Brown to assert his
influence on state opinion.
-In Arizona, radio announcer
Jack Williams beat the Demo-
cratic incumbent, a Phoenix at-
torney, Sam Goddard.
-In Nebraska, an eight-year:
Democratic hold on the governor-
ship was broken by Norbert T. Tie-
mann, who beat Lt. Gov. Philip
Sorensen, brother of former presi-
dential aide Ted Sorensen.'
Several incumbents won in con-
tests that affirmed their position
in Republican national affairs.
-In Michigan, Gov. George
Romney swamped his Democratic
opponent, although he failed to
gain victories for some other
members of his state "action
team."
-In New York, Gov. Nelson
Rockefeller pulled an unexpected
win in New York City to squelch
theories that state voters disap-
proved of him for his enactment
of a state sales tax.
-In Wisconsin, Warren P.1
Knowles became the first Repub-
lican in 12 years to be re-elected
to his state's governorship. A 25-
year veteran of state politics,
Knowles was elected in 1964, de-1
spite a Johnson landslide in his
state. Last night, he beat Demo-
cratic Lt. Gov. Patrick Lucey.
-In Ohio, Gov. James A.
Rhodes swept himself and a team
of Republicans into office.
-In Rhode Island, Gov. John
H. Chafee registered a landslide
victory and helped to carry two
Republican teammates to upset
victories.
Despite the trend in Republican
successes, several Democrats pull-
ed important victories in guber-
natorial races.
-In Kansas, Robert Docking set
an early lead to raise his chances
of becoming the first Kansas Dem-
ocrat governor in a decade. Dock-
ing's vote margin was boosted by
a strong campaign and a large
voter turnout.
---In Montana, Sen. Lee Metcalf,
a supporter of administration
policy on both foreign and do-
mestic issues, gained large margins
throughout his state in his at-
tempt to unseat incumbent Gov.
Tim Babcock. Babcock attempted
to defeat his challenger by assail-
ing administration policy on the
Viet Nam war, inflation and fed-
eral spending.

The Democrats clinched control
of the House of Representatives
for the next two years but Re-
publican gains threatened trouble
for President Johnson's "Great
Society" programs.
A strong showing by the GOP
across the nation toppled some of
Johnson's strongest legislative
supporters as the Republicans
staged a comeback from their
devastating losses in the Johnson
landslide of 1964.
With much of the vote still to
be counted, Republicans were
picking up seats at a rate that
could give them a gain of more
than the 30 party strategists had
hoped for.
However, the Democrats, who
enjoyed a 295-140 bulge in the
89th Congress, were never in dan-
ger of losing the control they have
exercised in the House since 1954.
