MCNAMARA REELECTED:
GOP Gets Small Senate Gain

Voters Set

By JUDITH DONER
Personnel Director
rhe major factor in Sen. John
Kennedy's victory was the ab-
ce of President Dwight D.
nhower on the Republican
:et," Samuel Barnes of the
tical science department said
last night.
L Democratic presidential can-
ate will naturally win an elec-
i in which there is no dorminat-
Republican figure, as there
more Democratic party mem-
s throughout the nation, he
ed.
The Republicans have to put up
auch more outstanding candi-
e than Vice-President Richard
Nixon," Prof. Samuel Elder-
Id of the political science de-
tment agreed.
Describes Victorys
[e described the victory as "a
nination of regular Demo-
ts holding firm, Eisenhower
lationists coming back to the
nocratic party and the South's
ng Democratic vote."
(et the Democrats are not win-
g the way they did in the
8 election, he cautioned. Tru-
n lost more votes in the South
I picked up many more in the
m areas than has Kennedy.
I'm actually a little surprised
Kennedy's strong Southern
wing," he admitted. "It is pro-
dy an indication that there was
as much switch-over of Pro-
bant Democrats in the 'Bible-
t' as was expected."
Religion Subordinate
'rof. George Peek of the politi-
science department believes
t Kennedy's religion worked
inst him in only a few states
h as rural Virginia, South
rolina and Florida.
T'he religious issue seems to have
'. subordinate to concern over
ocation, the nation's health and
employment, he reported.
[his election confirms some sig-
cant trends in American poli-
s, Prof. Peek said, for there is
le Aquestion that some of the
der states now host two politi-
parties in practice, as well as
theory.

around him. He was host at one of
the many election-results parties,
gatherings of like-thinking people
for mutual nail-biting and beer
which popped up wherever there
was a TV set.
At this party the mutual thought
was for Kennedy, and pro-Ken-
nedy Comments were rife. Emotion
ran high, and as Indiana went
to Nixon, one partisan muttered;
"Oh well, we'll get rid of those
states as soon as we get in."
"When Nixon loses, he'll pro-
bably get a job foreclosing mort-
gages," someone else said.
Things were not so happy for
everyone in the quiet tense at-
mosphere of the crowded Union
Grill. "I can't say I like what's
going on. What really makes me
mad is that Kennedy is carrying
California," one woman declared.
"After all, it's Nixon's home state.
Besides, I'm from California."
A student quietly studying
American history in the near-
deserted Union lounge had com-
pletely lost interest in the election.
"I know the outcome," he said
sadly. "Kennedy's got Nixon all
the way down the line. I voted
for Nixon, but I'm not too upset."

Democrats
Sweep Posts
The Democrats apparently have
swept all other state offices.
In the race for lieutenant gov-
ernor, T. John Lesinski has a lead
of 100,000 votes over his opponent
Clarence Reid.
James M. Hare early this morn-
ing had a commanding lead of
200,000 votes over William E. Kre-
ger in the race for secretary of
state, Republican Wendall A.
Niles trails Paul Adams in the
attorney general contest by 150,-
000 votes. Sanford A. Brown leads
David Calhoun in the race for
treasurer by the same margin.
Otis Smith, trailing the rest of
the state ticket, leads John V.
Clements in the race for auditor
general by 125,000 votes.

The Negro vote is now of some
al importance to the Democratic
arty. And Southern Congressmen
ffected by this vote may tend to
Lre liberal positions.
The election also pointed out
iat the farm vote is becoming less
gnificant, Prof. Peek continued.
You will find the farm areas
sing even more representation
fter the next census."
Prof. James K. Pollock, chair-
an of the political science de-
artment, also said the farm vote
as not of great significance and
iat Kennedy's religion "obviously
dn't hurt him.
"I think he just proved to be
Ze most popular of the two can-
dates. The country will still
irvive."

al position continuously since
1948.
Most of the overturns in theI
House races were at the expense of
freshmen Democrats who were
swept in from normally Republi-
can areas in the 1958 Democratic
landslide.
One big upset appeared in the
making in Massachusetts where
Rep. Joseph W. Martin, former
Republican speaker of the House,
trailed Democrat Edward F. Dool-
an in early returns.
GOP Gains
Republican gains were chalked
up in Connecticut, Vermont, Indi-
ana, Maryland, Colorado, Ohio,
Pennsylvania, New York and
Maine. The GOP lost seats in New;
York and New Jersey.
Such House stalwarts as Speaker+
Sam Rayburn (D-Tex); Rep. John
W. McCormack (D-Mass), the
House majority leader; and Rep.
Charles A. Halleck, the minority
leader, all won reelection.
The Democrats won the 219th
seat needed to control the 437-'
member House at 3 a.m. and seem-
ed certain to add to the total as
the vote count progressed. At that
point the Republicans had 107
seats.
Ratio Unchanged
In the other Michigan races
for the House, with all but one
race decided, the Republican-
Democratic ratio remains the
same, 11 to 7. In the other un-
decided contest in the seventh dis-
trict Rep. James O'Hara, an in-
cumbent, is leading his Republi-
can opponent.'

Tension Hits
State Parties
By JAMES SEDER
and MICHAEL BURNS,
Special to The Daily
The typewriters are rapidly
belting out their clicking mes-
sage, that Lt. Gov. John Swain-
son hasr won a substantial vic-
tory, over Republican Paul Bag-
well..
The television set in the Hen-
rose Hotel press room keeps the
newsman informed'of the nation-
al trend, but their job is to cover
the gubernatorial race. .
There is talk of a Democratic
sweep but the Democratic offi-
cials are not committing them-
selves.'However, they are happy
with the early. Detroit vote. The
ballot split piles up and the trend
becomes clearer. Newsmen seek
out Detroit labor leaders who are
present in great number, but they
are also reticent to proclaim a
Swainson victory,
Lights Out
In Lansing, the state capitol,
turned off its lights at midnight,
but the politicians do not follow
this exampfe,
There' are two major clusters
of politicians gathered to watch
the election night returns. One
group is the Bagwell party at a
downtown hotel, the other is a'
small party at the home of Gov.
G. Mennen Williams.
The Bagwell gathering started
out as a rather drab, glum af-
fair. The first returns are not en-
couraging. Bagwell is missing. The
telephone reporting systems from
the various precincts are not
operating smoothly. Bagwell ap-
pears at 11:30 p.m., amid news
of a Republican spurt upstate.
Election Open House
Williams is holding one of his
traditional election night open
houses, but this year the gather-
ing is quieter and smaller than
in the past.
His party *as highly optimistic
early in the evening, but as the
evening wears on, emotions be-
come mixed-increasingly confi-
dent that the national Democratic
ticket would win, but increasing-
ly concerned about the success of
the state ticket.

State, Local
Pro posas
State voters endorsed all three
proposals for state constitutional
amendments, although the sales
tax limit increase just made it.
Incomplete returns early this
morning showed the tax limit in-
crement leading by 639,00 to
608,000.
The bonding proposal had a
plurality of almost 140,000 votes
and the proposal to vote on call--
ing a constitutional convention
was winning, 662,000 to 521,000.
* Ann Arbor voters approved lo-
cal proposals to abolish the 1934
city ordinance forbiddpg the sale
of liquor by the glass, and to
provide funds to build a new city
hal. .
Vote Close
Although the vote was still
close early this morning, every
precinct; total reported showed a
mnajority of voters in favor of
each proposal. The latest returns
available when The Daily went to
press gave figures showing 12,481
voting YES for liquor by the
glass, and 10,682 voting NO.
The city hall proposal held a
lead of 9,746 in favor to 5,251
against. It provides for $2.2 mil-
lion to construct a facility to
relieve the present overcrowded
city hall on Huron St.
The liquor restriction has been
on Ann Arbor books Jsince prohi-
bition days., despite repeated ef-
forts on the part of 'local mer-
chants and other Interested in-
dividuals to bring about its re-
peal Early this year 25 local
tavern proprietors formed the
Ann Arbor Licensee's Association
to promote public support for its
repeal, and 2,043 signatures were
collected this fall to place it On
the ballot.
Convention Proposal
Approval of the constitutional
convention proposal means state
voters will decide in the spring
election whether to summon such
a conclave. It also provides for
one delegate to be appointed for
each state senator and represen-
tative, if the convention is called
by a majority vote.
Approval of the bonding pro-
posal authorizes the state to bor-
row to make loans to local school
districts to pay certain issues of
school bonds. It also specifies that
the Legislature shall prescribe
conditions for the loans and gives
the school districts taxing author-
ity to pay the issues.
The sales tax proposal specifies
an increase of the constitutional
tax limit from three to four per
cent.

STATE REPRESENTATIVE-Gilbert A. Bursley (left) and James
F. Warner will represent Washtenaw County in the state House of
Representatives.

(Continued from Page 1)
Another student favored Ken-
nedy because he would have the
support of the Pope, which would
create closer ties between the
United States and the Catholic
Latin-American countries.
Other Kennedy supporters said
Adlai Stevenson and Chester
Bowles would provide a good team
for Kennedy to work with, and

that Kennedy would work to keep
private enterprise within political
limits.
Someone claimed, "N i x o n
changes his policies so frequently
that if he didn't have Eisenhow-
er's support he would have been
out of the picture long ago." From
another, "He hasn't said anything
in the whole campaign."
The question of Kennedy's reli-
gion was termed "idiotic" and "un-
expected from an educated coun-
try."
An Englishman called it "grow-
ing pains," and thought religion is
diminishing as a major political
force. "It is much less of an is-
sue than it was in 1928," he ar-
gued.
He was amused by the show
business techniques in the cam-
paign, calling them "extensions of
a football game. Another student
called the American campaign "a
unique system that only America
can afford."
Someone quoted an Asian stu-
dent publication, saying, "Watch
and see, but don't comment. It's
an American show."
Another student questioned the
value of the prolonged campaign
period. "It should be shorter and
more intensive," he said.
The crowd's desire to touch
Kennedy when he spoke here
puzzled some. "He's a prophet or
something?" he questioned.

County GOP
Receive Votes
For Legislature
By ANDREW HAWLEY
Republican candidates swept all
three state legislative positions for
Washtenaw County yesterday,
continuing the long tradition of
GOP dominance of one of their
Michigan strongholds.
Gilbert E. Bursley, former
chairman of the Ann Arbor Repub-
lican party who led the GOP.
city council candidates to a clean
sweep victory last spring, scored
a decisive win over his Demo-
cratic opponent, Mrs. Grace
Marckwardt, wife of a University
professor. Unofficial final returns
gave him the first legislative post
with 18,676 votes to Mrs. Marck-
wardt's 11,067, with all precincts
in the first district reported.
In the race for the state repre-
sentative position for the second
district, James F. Warner led his
Democratic opponent, William E.
Dannemiller, with 11,904 votes to
8,796.
Thayer Wins
GOP candidate Stanley Thayer
defeated University Prof. Richard
Cutler, Democrat, 30,712 to 19,656,
in the battle for the position of
state senator from Washtenaw
County.
About 50 out of 73 possible pre-
cincts had reported.
Only three precincts, two in
Ann Arbor and one in an outlying
area, voted against Bursley. He
polled 64 per cent of the possible
total.
Washtenaw County also polled
strongly in favor of the election
of non-partisan Judge James R.
Breakey to the state supreme
court, over Theodore M. Souris.
Judge Breakey is presently Circuit
Court Judge in Ann Arbor.
Favors Con-Con
Bursley favors constitutional
revision by the convention method,
and four-year terms for legislators.
Washtenaw County voters also
expressed approval of a constitu-
tional convention by voting Yes
on the proposal providing for it,
27,516 to 12,534.
