Bellwether State

THE ELECTION:

bellwether victory in Kentucky initiated the
election-night
sweep that earned President Lyndon Johnson his own keys to the White House last night.
As returns sped into the computers, it became
obvious that Mr. Johnson had lifted the Bluegrass State
from the Republican column, in which it has resided for
the last two presidential elections.
As other states began to report, the President
piled up a lead that surpassed even those of Franklin
Delano Roosevelt in magnitude.
The state's margin for the President climbed toward
300,000, and another significant aspect of the returns
emerged. The Democrats' share of the state's Negro vote
rose to 93 percent an increase of 36 percent over the
A

1960 election.

Lyndon Baines Johnson won the presidency in his
own right with a rockcrusher victory that battered down
Barry Goldwater and the oldest, strongest Republican
bastions in the nation.
It was the landslide victory Mr. Johnson wanted,
fought for and predicted for himself and his vice presidential running mate, Hubert H. Humphrey.

It began in the border states, faltered a bit in the
South, then swept through New England, the East, the
Midwest and on into California
one of Sen. Coldwater's
"must" states. Even Maine and Vermont broke with the
past and went Democratic.
With 270 electoral votes neededtowin, Mr. Johnson
won 486 from 45 states.
Sen. Goldwater won five states and 47 electoral
votes. He led in one other, his home state of Arizona,
which has five electoral votes.
On popular votes, Johnson had 39,728,666 or 61.3
percent. Goldwater had 25,032,303.
It was New York State, with its
stack of 43 electoral votes, that clinched the
election for the man who was born in Texas on a tenant
farm and who once thought a Southerner never in his
lifetime would be voted into the White House. New
York also threw out Republican Kenneth B. Keating
and sent Robert F. Kennedy, brotherofthelate president,
to the Senate to replace him.
At the moment of national decision, the Democrats
once again had clinched control of the Senate and kept
biggest-in-the-natio- n

control of the House.
In his own race, Mr. Johnson ran like a champion
out front all the way.
He had parlayed promises of continued peace and
prosperity and millions of votes into a massive victory.
Sen. Coldwater's hope of pulling the biggest
political upset of the century had vanished in a huge
on a big
outpouring of votes which saw
scale.
The Arizona senator just never was able to dispel
fears, founded on his own words, that he would keep a
ready finger near the nuclear trigger. He listed this
"trigger-happy- "
issue as his greatest handicap.
Nor did he erase fears that he might scrap Social
Security and send the economy into a tailspin.
Only deep in Dixie, where his conservatism and vote
against the new civil rights law had appeal, did Sen.
Coldwater make any impressive showing.
He grabbed off Alabama, Louisiana, Mississippi,
and South Carolina the four states that bolted the
Democratic party in 1948 to support States Rights presidential candidate Strom Thurmond.

Urban Renewal Plan Rejected;
School Tax Fails In Louisville
By WALTER GRANT

Residents of Lexington voted
down a proposed
project Tuesday and Louisville
and Jefferson County voted "no"
camto end an unusual school-tapaign.
Lexington voters voiced a
decision in protest of the Short

over $9 million. The total vote
was 10,582 against the proposal
and 4,613 in favor of the project.
Voters in Louisville and Jefferson County stopped the 10th

majority of "yes" votes was the

Chevy Chase.
The project was designed to
clear out slums in the Short Street
area. Plans included help in relocating displaced persons and reimbursement for owners of property condemned for a highway
or city street.
Sale of redeveloped
land
would have paid an estimated $3
million of the project. The
Federal Government would have

leaving thd City of Lexington to
pay the remainder, a little over
$2 million dollars.
Opponents of the project included Negro homeowners, who
felt they would not be paid
enough for their present homes to
enable them to buy a home elsewhere. About 473 families are included in the area.
In addition, about 50 businesses would have been relocated. Most businessmen in the
two-third-

area apparently feared the price
of renting or buying property after redevelopment.
Groups which had gone on record favoring the project, however, included most downtown
the Chamber of
businessmen,
Commerce, the Lexington Real
Estate Board and Lexington's
two newspapers.
In Louisville, 43,290 votes
were cast against the school-taproposal, compared to 33,979 in
favor of the tax. Jefferson County
residents also voted against the
proposal 56,127 in the county
voted "no" and 46,252 favored
the tax campaign.
The tax referendum proposed
an increase of 32 cents in the property-tax
rate, bringing it to a
total of $2.32 per $100 of assessed valuation. The proposal would
have raised the occupational tax
from 1.25 to 1.55 percent of wages
and net profits.

Johnson Collected Nation Into His 'Great Tent'
But like the great tent, the Great
Society is not, in its main points,
unattainable; and
inherently
both concepts are rooted in the
life and fiber of Lyndon B.
Johnson of Texas.
All his political career, save
in his earliest New Deal years,
Mr. Johnson has been a politician of consensus. He seldom
has been a factional battler, a
fierce partisan, an intractable
opponent, an uncompromising
advocate. It has been axiomatic
with him to see middle ground,
to draw the teeth of adversaries,
to attract diverse elements by
finding their thread of common
interest, to recognize, represent
and reconcile existing forces
rather than to whip up new ones
or cling to old ones.
Thus, as the votes have been
counted, Mr. Johnson is at the
center of a curious crew indeed
one of the most broadbased,
and diverse political
coalitions in American history.
And it is upon that strange consensus that he will mount his
first full term.
From the labor, urban liberal,
and civil rights groups on the
left, through moderate Democrats and Republicans in the
center, to business groups and
Southern
Democrats
on the
right, Mr. Johnson will start

From Combined Sources

The tea leaves have been correctly read, and Lyndon Johnson has done what he said last
summer he intended to do. He
has herded factions and interests and sections and voters from
both parties into "one great
tent" in support of his presidency and the program he has
promised.
Mr. Johnson got no small assistance from his Republican
opponent, Sen. Barry Goldwater,
who scared a lot of people into
the tent marked LBJ, but now
that the President has won his
victory, he will be all alone in
pursuing the second big task he
has set for himself.
That task is to lead all those
crowded into that giant, Texas-sizetent on to
d,

coast-to-coa- st

News Analysis
what Mr. Johnson has solemnly
labeled the "Great Society" a
promised land in which there
will be no poverty, no illiteracy, no unemployment, no prejudice, no slums, on political
and
streams, no delinquency,
few Republicans.
This vision seems at first
glance to require acts of Congress that would repeal both the
profit motive and human nature.

ardent backers.
That will have its advantages
and disadvantages. It will give

Mr. Johnson considerable support and freedom for his early
moves and much leverage on
Congress. He will apparently be
able to claim a true national

mandate.
On the other hand, keeping
the coalition together will not
be easy. The very idea of coali-

tion

presupposes

compromise

and accommodation. To put together, say, an economic program that will please the business groups and the liberals at
once will be no easy task;
achieving it could damage the
program, the coalition, or both.
The same is true of the broad
education and conservative pro-

grams Mr. Johnson has promised for the "Great Society."
That concept is rooted as
deeply in Mr. Johnson as the
politics of consensus. He is a
product of the Texas hill country, of Western radicalism, and
populism, of poor country people who encouraged their children to "get ahead in the world."
His first political faith was the
New Deal; his idol remains
Franklin Roosevelt Like Sam
Rayburn, another mentor, he is
by no means an urban liberal,
but his political instincts are always to provide "something for
the folks." In Lyndon Johnson's
world, that is not only the in-

grained attitude of youth; it

good politics as well.

Nevertheless, in his long pursuit of consensus, Mr. Johnson
has learned and accommodated
himself to the power of interests. He can be a spender when
necessary, but he showed last
year that he also could clamp
n
a tough
on the budget when necessity seemed to
demand it He can be an innovator as to method and labels
as when he turned a melange
of old Kennedy programs into
the "war on poverty," adding on
authentic LBJ touch the community action part of the program. But the long record of
Lyndon Johnson discloses few
startling departures from established concepts and little to
shake the confidence or the teeth
of economic interests in short,
no great leaps ahead of the consensus.
The Great Society itself is a
rather typical Johnson job of

long-stalle-

mittee that condemned Joe McCarthy illustrates his talents for
that sort of political balancing.
Perhaps the most significant
development of a' Johnson era,
however, will be one to which
the nation is already accustoming itself. That is the impact
upon the presidency of its proa
foundly political occupant
leader who does not so much

ex-

isting or
programs.
To the extent that he has outlined it, it will concentrate on
matters long familiar in American politics-t- he
"three Cs" of
classrooms, conservation
and
cities.
The most unusual Johnson
long-soug-

to date is his
plan for turning substantial amounts of Federal revenues back to the states, with
as few strings attached as feasible. Successfully established,
such a plan could have a profound effect on the ability of
the states to play the roles demanded for them by states'
rights enthusiasts, and on the
Federal system itself.
Thus, even in pursuit of the
Great Society, Mr. Johnson generally is acting in continuity
with the political history of the
past quarter century. In foreign
affairs, he is expected to pursue much the same course.
He gave frequent pledges in
his campaign to continue to
seek a break in cold war tensions, an easier relationship with
the Soviet Union, and practical
limitations on the testing and
proliferation of nuclear weapons. He twice promised to follow the Kennedy line of seeking
"bridges" to Eastern Europe. He
has little choice but to follow
the established course in the
bitter South Vietnamese guerrilla war.
Another term for Mr. Johnson can well produce changes,
however, in the structure and
role of the North Atlantic Treaty
Organization,
growing not so
much out of his wishes as out
of changed circumstances. It will
fall to him, primarily, to decide
the fate of the
d
nuclear force of allied ships with
multinational crews. He is actively seeking a new approach
to the old problems of foreign
aid.
There will, of course, be
change in a new term for President Johnson. Washington is
curious to know what men he
may bring into a
Administration.
His
Johnson
ability to surround himself with
able executives has not yet been
really tested, due to the funche intioning administration
herited from John Kennedy. But
the best information at the moment, is that wholesale changes
are not likely to be made in the
administration lineup any time
soon.
When changes do come, Mr.
Johnson may seek to glue his
coalition together by building
something like a "national unity"

Election Night Scene
Is One Of Confusion
As returned poured in from
county precincts and from around
the state, Kernel Managing Editor Gary Hawksworth and News
Editor Kenneth Creen talked
with campaigners at the downtown Lexington headquarters for
both parties and at the Fayette
County Courthouse. Here are
their impressions:

Democratic
Headquarters
A small,

portable television
set brought election results to
observers at the Fayette County
Democratic
Headquarters last
night.

When announcers reported a
clean sweep for the Democratic
Party in Kentucky, smiles spread
across faces throughout the Main
St. headquarters.
St. headquarters.
With telecast precinct result,
the room became quiet.
y
someone would laugh
with joy.
The political workers obviously were pleased with the news
that President Johnson had carried the state, the first time a
Democratic presidential candidate had since 1952 when Adlai
Stevenson won by a few hundred votes.
But this time it was different.
The Democrats were winning big,
and they were happy about it.
As new results were broadcast,
a general buzz filled the room as
people discussed the campaign,
the election, and the precinct results.
Some of the workers were busy
tabulating reports from precincts
throughout Fayette County on
long tally sheets.
Pictures of Lyndon Johnson
and his running mate, Sen. Hubert H. Humphrey, lined the
walls.
Maps of Fayette County and
Kentucky,
showing key preOccas-sionall-

cincts and particular campaigns,
dotted the walls throughout the

long, narrow room, formerly a
clothing store.
On several tables posters,
bumper stickers, and other campaign materials were piled.
The results of the election in
Fayette were now in the hands
of the elections officials, who
were busy tabulating the figures
in the Fayette County Courthouse in the Circuit Courtroom.

The Negro vote apparently
was as heavily against urban renewal as it was strongly in favor
of Mr. Johnson.
Congressman VVatts defeated
his Republican opponent, John
C. Swope, by a margin of 25,866
to 14,983.
As the election officers relayed
returns information to those assembled in the courtroom, radio
announcers interviewed the victors while the losers sat in dejection or promptly left the room,
living testimony to the power of
the people on election day.

Republican
Headquarters
The polls closed in Fayette
6 p.m.; by 7 p.m.
President Johnson was conceded
to be the victor in the county,
the state, and his victory was
eminent in the nation; at 7:30
p.m. Fayette County Republican
Campaign Headquarters closed.
At 7 p.m. Tom Burnett, county
campaign chairman, said that
Sen. Coldwater was behind 3,500
votes with 58 precincts counted.
"I don't see much of a chance
of us catching up," Mr. Burnett
said of the county vote.
By 7:15 Mr. Burnett said in
answer to an inquiry, "Wedidn't
just loose; we got clobbered."
One of the few remaining supporters asked Mr. Burnett,
"Why!" and he replied, "People
don't like Coldwater."
By 7:30, with a 6,198-vot- e
Johnson lead in Fayette County,
Mr. Burnett closed the campaign
headquarters on Upper Street.
"People just prefer Johnson,"
Mr. Burnett said.
"We won by narrow margins
in those precincts we won, and
we lost catastrophically in the
ones we were defeated in," he

continued.

Mr. Burnett felt that the results was a rejectiorrof Mr. Cold-watand his policies.
"I fear that this will start a
trend toward liberalism in the
Republican Party," Mr. Burnett
added.

"Our effort is strictly bipartisan. Most of our supporters

he said.
Mr. Wallace said a landslide
victory would seriously impair
the conservative movement, but
that the movement had been es-

tablished.
"The movement draws

plained.

Mr. Wallace said he felt that
Democratic landslide would
force the Republicans to return
to a moderate position; but, he
added, "the Democratic Party
will become more conservative."
"The election will draw both
parties away from the extremes,"
Mr. Wallace concluded.
William G. Cox, chairman of
the Kentuckians for Goldwater,
conceded defeat about 8 p.m.
He referred to the concession
with, "we have lost a battle but
not a victory."
Addressing students who were
gathered in the headquarters, Mr.
Cox said that only the first battle
was lost.
"You kids have done more to
make me feel better about this
election than anythingotherthan
a complete Goldwater victory,"
he said.
He assured the group that they
had established a beachhead in
returning conservatism to
government.

* Mandate To Rebuild

An election suffused with irony is
all but complete, and the pundits now
descend upon tlie carcass of America's
political image. There is little meat
left on the bones, for they have been
picked clean in what must rank as
a new low in Presidential campaigning.
It is ironic that the South has
turned its back on a native son, preferring instead a Republican from the
West.
It is ironic that the midwest and
west considered Goldwater
strongholds-failed
to support the Arizonan.
It is ironic that Lyndon Baines
Johnson, not many years ago considered to have reached the apex of his
political career, has been handed a
victory of proportions comparable
only to those of Franklin Delano
Roosevelt.
It is ironic that President Johnson's victory should be interpreted
Kennedby some as a mandate for the
y-Johnson
administration, when in
fact it is primarily a rejection of the
opposition.
But the ultimate irony lies in the
fact that Barry Goldwater embraced
as few candidates have been by their
parties in an open convention should
be the catalytic agent in the demise of
his party.
It is to this final ironic consideration about which we must speak.
We feel constrained to mention
those casualties of this most bitter encounter between President Johnson
and Sen. Goldwater. They are, as is
obvious, those moderate Republicans
who opposed the senator's nomination
in the Cow Palace this summer.
Most eminent among these Republicans who lost their political lives
is Sen. Kenneth Keating of New York.
It was simply too great a task even
for a man of Mr. Keating's stature and
with a loyal following such as his
to overcome the overwhelming victory
by President Johnson in the Empire
State.
In Illinois, a bright young fire in
the Republican ranks Charles Percy
was snuffed out in the wake of a
Goldwater victory. Even in downstate
Illinois traditionally Republican in

orientation the influence of the Presidential race was felt. And Mr. Percy
had been touted as a possibility for
national office in the next Presidential election.

In the state of Oklahoma there
are probably few men more beloved
than Bud Wilkenson, former Sooner
football coach. He was a new face in
Republican ranks, bringing to the
GOP the vitality of his personality
and the candor of his youthful outlook. He too fell before the irrepressible Johnson landslide.
What is the message? It is simply
this: Goldwaterism has been repudiated, and along with it the voters
have sent the moderate element of the
party to political Siberia.
This is the poignant irony for Nelson Rockefeller: he was hooted by
his party for challenging the validity
of the radical element which did, in
truth, lie somewhere outside the mainstream of American political life. He
has now been proven so very right,
but his victory is strictly pyrrhic.
Mr. Rockefeller himself must surely
know that in proving Goldwaterism
wrong the voters have censured the
moderates who allowed a peripheral
element to gain control of their party's
machinery.
indecisiveness, and
Vacillation,
bickering among the moderate
petty
leaders prior to the convention must
be blamed. The guilt must be ascribed
not only to the zeal that distorted the
vision of Goldwaterites. The guilt
must be laid, in part, at the feet of
Nixon, Scranton, Rockefeller, and,
most particularly, Eisenhower.
Barry Goldwater once challenged
the party's conservatives to take up the
task of remaking the Republican Party in the image that they would have.
Now is the time for moderates to follow suit.
It is imperative that the remaining
moderate leaders notably George
Romney, Robert Taft, and John Lindsayto accept this most challenging
assignment. It is time for them to
stoop and pick up the rubble left at
their feet the crumbled remains of
the Grand Old Party.

The Need Is Now
The need for a new Ashland
Community College building was
most recently illustrated during
National Fire Prevention Week in
which it seems many previously
indifferent people suddenly became
concerned about the health and
welfare of the Ashland Community
College student.
During the course of the week,
two fire drills were
