Budget review trims Kansas revenues under projections
A month after a Kansas fiscal scare, the Legislative Budget Committee found revenues only slightly below forecasts, not the 4 percent drop feared. Gov. Carlin mandated across the board cuts, including at Kansas University, while some officials argued the state’s finances were healthier than projected. Carlin seeks re election as a Democrat. Sam Hardage of Wichita challenges him as Republican. Overnight fire losses exceed 15000 in North Lawrence, with arson investigators called in. The city appointed Jim Cole to fill the unexpired term of attorney Lew Henry. Ralph Pine elected school board president, with Mrs. Ray Wright as vice president and W.H. Quakenbush treasurer. A.E. Woestemeyer clerk. In the primary, Fred Hall survived a GOP purge attempt for the gubernatorial nomination. The 1892 Lawrence World noted lively Saturday nights with crowded streets, Salvation Army activities, and socializing into late hours.

Apology drives GOP morale to new low in campaign turmoil
Washington reports show the Bush campaign collapsing under the weight of a White House apology for Matalin fax attacks and a Clinton hire of a private detective. Party loyalists say voters fear a Clinton presidency, Michigan defeat of Rep. Vander Jagt deepens gloom, and resignations loom as Bush backers lose hope for a comeback.
