Epton's opponent will be decided Feb. 22. Republicans haven't elected a mayor in 57 years. Democrats hold every seat on the 50-member City Council. The GOP lost its last U.S.

House seat here in 1958 when Pucinski beat Sheehan. And Republicans are loathe to mention the last time they came close to electing a congressman. That was 1978, in the South Side's overwhelmingly black 1st District, when an affable undertaker and left-wing activist, A.A. "Sammy" Rayner, got 44 percent of the vote. Had he won, he would have been one of the most DELUXE IT CAKE MIX liberal men in the House by any yardstick.

"Frankly, I just used it (the Republican Party) as a label to get on the ballot," Rayner confesses. There is reason to suspect that a poverty of patronage is not the only reason for the travails of Republicans here. one thing, Chicago is a labor town and 40 percent of the populace is black. With brief interruptions, bluecollar workers usually have tended to be Democrats, and blacks here converted in large numbers from the party of Abraham Lincoln to the party of Franklin D. Roosevelt starting in 1933.

In this city of patronage politics, more hard pitiable remarks could be heard from a man whose task is deliver votes. Public payroll jobs collecting garbage, prosecuting winos and turning keys in the county are what make Chicago's Democratic machine run. the Northwest Side's 41st Ward, Democrats command an estimated 500 jobs. City Hall hands them down to Committeeman Roman C. Pucinski, who passes them on to the precinct captains, who spread them among their helpers.

By election day, almost everybody seems to owe somebody something. But nut Tim Sheehan. He's not a Democrat he is the 41st Ward's Republican committeeman. "You just can't do it," he says. Nine jobs.

The only story is that it's better than no jobs." Republicans offer the spoils as the main reason for the low estate of their party SNL viewers give Kaufman the ax NEW YORK (AP) Viewers of television's "Saturday Night Live" apparently used up all their charity when they voted by telephone to save "Larry the Lobster." In a second callin, they gave comedian Andy Kaufman the ax. Viewers voted the comedian off the NBC-TV show for good Saturday night in a live call-in reminiscent of last year's vote that saved a live lobster named Larry from the boiler. Kaufman. the star of NBC's "Taxi" whose stage act. includes wrestling with women and an Elvis Presley impersonation, has appeared 14 times on the latenight show.

SNL viewers voted 195,544 to 169,186 to ban Kaufman from a 15th appearance. The viewers' verdict didn't sit well with the SNL announcer. He closed the show with, "This is Don Pardo saying, 'I voted for Andy 77 years old and still jumping QUINCY, Fla.

The catalyst for transplanting the Wends from Eastern Europe to Texas was a young theological student at the University of Leipzig, Jan Kilian, who was among those opposed to a merger of the Lutheran factions. By the 1830s, a group of Wends and antiPrussian elements already were beginning to migrate westward to the United States and other more liberal nations.

In 1854, just after 200 Wends from Lusatia left by ship for Australia, Kilian led 588 Wendish men, women and children, carrying featherbeds, animals in cages, footlockers filled with tools and other personal goods, on a railroad trek to Hamburg. They reached England in two groups, were reunited, and then sailed for Texas on the 167-foot Australian sailing ship Ben Nevis. Between the time left Lusatia and their arrival in Galveston on Dec. 14, 1854, about 75 Wends had died of childbirth, cholera, old age and more. They reached the Gulf Coast just in time for another epidemic yellow fever and fled Houston, leaving.a handful of weary Wends behind, for the wooded, rolling hills of what is now Lee County.

Socha says the Wends, whose hopes had been buoyed along by glowing reports they'd received the previous year from Wends who had come to Texas, arrived at the Colorado River and found land selling for the lofty price of $1.50 an acre. They couldn't afford it, Socha says. So they settled for 50-centan-acre. stony land and eked along. living in dugouts and shanties during a three-year legal process before they finally were declared owners of the property.

Ted Lammert, 74, a retired schoolteacher in Katy and president of the Texas Wendish Heritage Society, says his ancestors had so much trouble getting their initial crops going they had to live off thenplentiful game and every so often traveled by wagon to Houston and Mexico to swap cotton for groceries. They'd barely arrived, says Lammert, before the Civil War began and Confederate recruiters began trying to conscript young Wends into the Southern army. Since they'd fled Europe to avoid slavery, says Lammert, the Wends were far from pleased to be forced into service to fight on behalf of a cause that called for the continuation of slavery for blacks. "They stayed on the farms dressed up as women to avoid recruiters, and others went to Wisconsin to avoid the draft," Lammert says. Meanwhile, the Wends, who had fought against relinquishing their Wendish language in favor of the Prussian-endorsed German, found themselves surrounded by German immigrants and Germanspeaking neighbors.

"The very language they despised in Europe suddenly became very helpful to says Lammert. "And the German people in Giddings owned land right next to them, and they were no better off than the Wends. So they got along. And a lot of them started intermarrying with the Germans and forgot they were Wends." Over the decades, Wendish settlers moved to the Port Arthur area to work in refineries, others spread to Austin and Fort Worth, and still others went back to the Houston to find jobs. The Wends, thus, were almost wholly absorbed into Texas population, and the language began to disappear.

"The language really is gone now," Lammert says, "and it's hard to preserve a heritage and a people without a language."
