But what is of syp)) monumental significance is the fact that this time we do ijot have two indivi- dqals fighting jt out on a personality basis, but two party organizations mobilising behind'those individuals. In this ejection we are creating Mississippi Republicans, not Democrats for Phillips.

They will not easily let loose their allegiance tp the new party, no matter who wins. The olq bugaboo has finally been overcome, There are obviously other factors which will enter into Phillips' vote tomorrow. A i Johnson Demor erats, who have no intention of actually becoming Republicans, will vote for Phillips. Democrats who are not enamofed of either candidates but who beljeye in a two-party system will vole for Phillips as well. But the mnst significant fact J3 that men and women in this tion campaign have unabashedly Put Pll Die Republican label and gone forth, to work I 01 their party.

There will be no "burial" of these people for ihp next hundred years, Indeed, it is not illogical to assume that within the next decade they and their party will be on par wilh the Democrats.

That was why Iho President worked so hard in last year's congressional elections and cam? out Pnwingly well. Hut next week it may be a i story.

This time the Republicans have divided the heavy Catholic Vote by running James T- Mc- Permott against Tale, (bus putting two Irish Catholics against each other. Whichever wins, this will be the first time a Catholic has been elected mayor of Ihp Quaker Cjly, Latest hard. luck, tu hpfall Tate has been a picket line of firemen, a i higher pay nnd for a time proposing lo wear Ku Klux Klan hoods prevent their identification. It's anybody's race in Philadelphia, but whoever wins, the 331.0QO margin by which Kennedy won last time wilt evajxH- ale.

San Francisco -TT This is another test case of Democratic strength in a state which Kennedy has to win to get re-elected. Here Jack Shelly, a popular Democratiri congressman arid, farmer haad of (lie Tearnsters, had gone home expecting a walk-away vifHory, the opposite has bcpn the case, Harold Republican, serving as acting mayor under George Christopher, has made surprising headway, and ihe race could go cither way tomorrow.
