Loveless Leads Murray in Iowa Governor Race
In Iowa with the general election under two weeks away, Governor Herschel C. Loveless Democrat leads rival William S. Murray Republican though Murray gains. Eisenhower's appearance at the National Corn Picking Contest near Marion boosts the Murray campaign while Nixon plans a Fort Dodge stop on Oct 30. The sales tax is a central issue with Murray proposing a hike to fund property tax relief and education, while Loveless argues against tax increases citing a healthy treasury and rising costs. Loveless criticizes ISEA advertising as political and Murray defends it as aligned with his program. Liquor profits for the year ending June 30 reached 9.2 million on 38.9 million in sales, the second most profitable year for the state liquor department. Mental Health Director Dr J O Cromwell plans a move from Independence to Des Moines next week.
