Mount Pleasant News (Newspaper) - June 9, 1970, Mount Pleasant, Iowa ? the it pleasant news two sections vol. 92, no. 135 it. Pleasant Iowa tuesday evening june 9, 1970 Price to cents showers these Days by John Chamberlain the a Law of the spectrum favors Nixon some of the More objective political pros looking at the recent primaries tend to think there is a a Law of the Sec Trump at work which continues to favor Center to right leaning candidates Over those of the left. The students May make the noise the Dove a Ubu gout senators May get the headlines. And the Decibel count has its observable effect on the country which has been growing uneasy about the length of the vietnamese War. But despite the psychological War weariness it is still True that in most of the recent Senate and House of representatives primaries and even in intrastate Battles the votes have favored the less dovish of two alternative candidates. Texas saw the a Law of the spectrum at work when the incumbent democratic senator Ralph Yarborough a Liber Altissimo of Liberal Issos was knocked off in his party primary by the More conservative former representative Lloyd m. Bentsen or. In the Pennsylvania democratic senatorial primary in which the cambodian Issue figured rather prominently the a peace candidate a Norval d. Reece a Greece for peace was beaten two to one by state senator William Sesler who has been a moderate on Vietnam. Though school busing and the Issue of a Black Power bloc voting were uppermost in the minds of Ala bramans who gave their majority preference to George Wallace for governor the desire to leave Vietnam with Honor has been stressed by Wallace in the past. In a Way the Wallace Campaign was a a a National one its objective being to warn president Nixon to stick to the right in foreign policy As Well As in the busing contretemps. Too it could be argued that the democratic gubernatorial primary which left the hawkish mayor Sam Yorty out in the cold in his attempt to wrest the nomination from super Dove Jesse Unruh indicated a clearly definable peace next week Drift. But senator George Murphy campaigning As a a Nixon a Man a rather decisively out pointed the millionaire Dove Norton Simon in the Republican primary. And the most vociferous Dove representative George Brown who had been calling for Nixon a impeachment on the cambodian Issue lost out in the democratic senatorial primary to representative John v. Tunney who though an opponent of continued . Military involvement in Asia was considerably less Adamant and bilious than this opponent when mentioning the War. Too incidentally Tunney a father the former heavyweight Champion Gene Tunney has always been one of the most fervent anti comm organizing for Road classification Steps Are being taken in Henry county to provide a functional classification of the roads of the county As required under a Law passed by the recent session of the Iowa legislature. Three persons will form the committee to prepare the classification.

The farm Bureau spokesman recently carried a Clear explanation of the Road classification requirements and what is to be done As follows too an extensive program of functional classification of All highways roads and streets in the state will get underway in july. And the entire program will not be completed until August 1971. Approved by the legislature this Spring the new Law establishes a county functional classification Board to handle the initial work in classification.

The Highway commission will re changes in Superior cont a Superior Continental corporation Hickory n. C., a manufacturing lists around. If it weren to for his Supply and technical support unit songs involvement Gene Tunney of the Continental Telephone sys would most Likely be in George Murphy a Corner. Possibly the California voters sense a parental modifying Force in John Tunney a background. The commentators spoke of the conservative Anderson Carters Victory Over Liberal governor David cargo in the new Mexico Republican senatorial primary As an however it could have been the Normal 1970 operation of the a Law of the spectrum in a Sun Belt state that May be following its next door neighbor Arizona into the permanent Republican fold. In the Northeast in new Jersey it was quickly noted that the extreme Dove Lewis Kaden beat representative Edward Patten a traditional anti leftist Democrat in the 15th congressional District primary even though Kaden had scores of Princeton and Rutgers undergraduates out pulling for him. The Kaden defeat followed the a Law of the spectrum As it affected most of new Jersey. True enough the Moore Liberal Republican candidate to take the congressional seat vacated by Republican governor Cahill won in the Burlington Camden Ocean county area. Yet the contest was close. Despite the fact that he had no Republican organization going for him the More conservative Walter Smith made a very respectable showing against the Liberal Edwin Forsythe even winning by 8,978 to 7,194 in the single county of Burlington.

Or the commission May make changes to reduce mileage in trunk and truck collector systems to assure equitable distribution among the counties of the total mileage of such systems. The new Law also requires the Highway commission to establish with the assistance of an advisory committee a uniform design and maintenance guidelines for each classification system.
