Kansas Editorial: Home of the President and presidential 1996 race
The piece argues Kansas, despite notable figures like Seaton and Carlson, has been a spectator in the 1996 campaign.

It notes brief appearances by Steverson and Nixon in Kansas City and predicts Estes Kefauver’s Garden City speech will draw Western Kansas hospitality but few votes.
