moments later Tunney was making a strong showing in the Democratic stronghold of the San Joaquin Valley Thai was one area where his stand supporting the Cesar Prop 14 the defeated farm labor initiative ran counter to many voters thinking Tunney also was barely holding onto a edge in the Democratic bastion of San Francisco Hayakawa mounted a vigorous challenge against Tunney to the end living up to his as a GOP unpredictable The last California Poll gave Tunney the son of former heavyweight champion Gene Tunney only a per cent lead over Hayakawa Throughout the race Hayakawa the former San Francisco State College president who battled against student radicals in the late kept pounding away at Tunney's record painting him as a big spender who was inattentive to the needs of Californians Hayakawa who switched parties to become a Republican in 1973 and who upset former Lt Gov Robert Finch in the GOP primary also took some unusual positions during the campaign Among them he called easing of child labor and minimum wage laws for minors un- der 18 women's demonstration against magazines like Penthouse and Playboy because women have a right to the privacy of their private parts possibility of sending a peacekeeping American force into Africa if that part of the world moves to the edge of bloodshed of uprisings in Soviet satellites in Eastern Europe Those positions did not go by without comment from Tunney who survived a strong challenge by onetime student radical Tom Hayden in the June primary Tunney said Playboy and Penthouse were not issues in the Senate race and sharply criticized Hayakawa's positions on child labor Eastern Europe and Africa Both foreign policy positions he said could encourage needless bloodshed Toward the end of the race Tunney seemed to relax somewhat and started to tell reporters ly that he thought he would win in no small part because of the positions Hayakawa was taking I think that Hayakawa is ing to make one mistake after Tunney said last week He told voters that he was a diligent senator and had introduced numerous major pieces of legislation THE WINNER Former Georgia Gov Jimmy Carter waves to with his wife outside their

Democrat Jimmy Carter defeated President Ford and won the White House early today ending eight years of Republican rule and crowning his long campaign out of the political wilderness The contest was close a 3 per cent margin in the popular vote but Carter gained clear command in the electoral college where presidents are chosen Wisconsin and Mississippi put him past the majority with 272 electoral votes in The Associated Press tabulation So the outsider who began his campaign 22 months ago without visible means of political support became Presidentelect Carter On Ian 20 he will become

planned long in advance And Kord was led to political history as the only appointed president He came close narrowed what had been a runaway Carter margin in the early polls But the poll that counted was registered on Tuesday by an unexpectedly high turnout of voters Georgia's Carter swept out of the South holding it almost solidly and returning the region to the Democratic column save for Virginia That state went to Ford the only crack he could manage in Carter country To those electoral votes Carter added border states New York and Pennsylvania He captured Democratic strongholds like Massachusetts and Rhode Island and won in the Minnesota home of his mate Sen Walter F dale captured 23 states led in two more them those 25 states have 342 electoral votes Ford strongest in the Midwest and West won 21 states led in five with a total of 196 votes The contest drew a expected voter turnout and while that worked to Carter's advantage the race was almost as close as had been advertised Democrats quickly certified their control of both and House in the 95th Congress They were assured at least the 62 votes they hold in the current Senate and they appeared on the way to about the same 290 to 145 margin by which they dominate the current House But it was not a good night to be an incumbent senator Four Republican and four Democratic senators had been defeated This was the national picture with 86 per cent of the precincts Ford won 21 states with 136 toral votes and led in five states with 60 electoral votes Carter won 22 states and the District of Columbia with 272
