Winnipeg Free Press (Newspaper) - July 30, 1968, Winnipeg, Manitoba Winnipeg free press tuesday july 30, 1968 vote fraud alleged states. Our country cannot afford the agony of a constitutional crisis and i will not be be a party to creating one the series was not carried by the Herald Tribune which has since ceased publication. In i960, Illinois had 27 electoral votes and Texas had 24. Each state s total elec toral votes go to the presidential candidate who gets the largest share of the state s popular vote. It does not matter How Small the popular margin is he still gets All the state s electoral votes. So a very Small popular vote margin May be turned into an ample elec toral majority. In 1960, or. Kennedy won the election by 303 electoral votes to or. Nixon s 219, a margin of 84 votes. But his advantage in the popular vote nationally was much less impressive he got votes 49.71 per cent to or. N i x o n s 49.5 per had Texas and Illinois gone Republican or. Nixon pm Long weekend campers special to the White Shell and Lake of the Woods area. Low fares to Brereton Malachi Minaki Farlane and Points in Between leave Winnipeg . . Friday arrive Winnipeg . . Monday for further information Call in 946-2212 cts would have won 270 to 252. Yet Texas and Illinois Only went Democrat by a hair breadth. In Texas the Kennedy v Johnson ticket declared victorious by Only votes less than two hundredths of one per cent. In Illinois but of a total of votes cast the democrats won by Only votes. It is or. Maze s and or. Hess s Contention that these infinitesimal margins were rigged. In Texas they cite As the inspiration for its massive vote juggling the most powerful Democrat in was Hington at the time the vice presidential candidate Senate majority Leader Lyndon b. Johnson. The authors Are categorical in their assertion that John Kennedy himself could not have known about the elec toral malpractices that secured his Victory organization democrats were in command of every gear in the Texas election machinery from precinct tally clerk upwards Accord ing to or. Mazo and or. Hess. On a visit to Texas a week after the election or. Mazo began to investigate reports of corruption. Texas has a poll tax which meant in effect a total registration of voters before every elec Tion. Anyone could deter mine precisely How Many were eligible to vote in each precinct by counting the names on the list. On the basis of a random Sample of precincts inter views with electoral officials and a sampling of the ballot boxes or. Mazo calculated that a minimum of votes tallied for Kennedy Johnson were non existent. In Chicago the alleged fiddling was very sophisticated. Again a very Power Ful Democrat machine was in command. After the election poll watchers on the Lookout for foul play swore numerous affidavits reporting such incidents As these Ward 6, precinct 38 at about . The voting machine indicator showed that 124 votes had been cast after 43 persons had Ward 4, precinct 77 democratic precinct Cap Tain voted twice this observer saw the democratic precinct Captain handing out confronted with or. Maze s allegations will Davis chairman of the Texas democratic party said allegations remain allegations until they Are e. Europe keeps its Cool continued Eastern Europe today. In Bucharest the neighbouring capital to the East i found a similar refusal to allow the Moscow Prague debate to dominate general Conversa Tion. Recent visitors to other communist capitals of East Europe report the same resolve among party and government officials As Well As among the general Public to treat the quarrel As a non subject to be discussed Only reluctantly if some bothersome foreigner insists on raising the matter. Hear broadcasts yet every european living under communist Rule of one kind or another is perfectly Well aware of what is going on. Listening to the foreign language broadcasts of the British broadcasting corp., the voice of America and radio free Europe is permissible nowadays. But those three Western services Are taking special care not to sensationalize the crisis. Their broadcast commentaries Are res trained their news bulletins stick strictly to known facts and statements. With a commendable sense of responsibility none of them doubtless recalling the Hun Garian tragedy of 1956, is risking giving the czechs the slovaks or anyone else an inadvertent impression that any Western Power would intervene militarily if soviet armed forces were ordered into action against Czechoslovakia s present rulers. Certainly in Romania and Hungary this Western radio restraint in striking con Trast to some of the West Ern press coverage has done much to keep the temperature Down the local party press has aided the process. These two coun tries Are the Only members of the Warsaw pact whom czech Liberal party Leader Alexander Dubcek and his fellow communist r e f o r mers feel they can Call friends at the juncture. Marshal Tito of Yugoslavia has of course been or. Dubcek s stoutest supporter throughout this exciting year but As a country outside the soviet bloc yug Oslavia s support is less there is a big difference Between the attitudes of Romania and Hungary to the czechoslovak Reform. Romanian chief Nicolae Ceausescu s endorsement of the Prague Experiment has been unrestrained almost aggressively vigorous in the context of traditional romanian caution. Janos finally Kadar of Hungary has been painfully equivocal. Everyone recognizes or. Kadar s dilemma. This craggy faced and apparently rather pleasant communist Leader is inescapably dependent on soviet Money and or. Ceausescu. Hungary unlike Romania is Host to something Between and soviet troops said to equal some four divisions. Or. Kadar himself raw materials quiet unlike became the hungarian party Boss in 1956 by Courtesy of the Kremlin and its tanks. .

The monday creditors meet ing was spent mainly locked in a procedural Wrangle Over the appointment of a trustee. After several hours a joint trusteeship was agreed upon c. H. Flintoft and Jack Down.
