THE DAILY MESSENGER, CANANDAIGUA, NEW YORK WEDNESDAY, NOVEMBER 8, 1808 PAGE THREE New York City Vote Puts State Lottery Over The Top ALBANY (UPI) New York State voters -were well on their way to approving a state lottery to aid education, with the biggest support for the amendment 'coming from, election districts downstate. As returns mounted today, the lottery amendment held an edge of some 700,000 votes among the electorate. Th'e winning margin came in New. York. City.

With of the slate's 13,170 election districts reporting, the vote on Amendment 7 was: 1,850,921 yes, 1,107,575 no. The lottery vote in the city, with all 5,187 counted, was: 1,168,646 yes, 405,730 no. Outside the city, with 4,944 of 7983 districts reporting, the vbte was: 682,275 yes, 701,845 no. It appeared the lottery's lure of "something -for- nothing was the main 'attraction. It appeared strong opposition from religious and civic organizations not a deterrent, and even the two major gubernatorial candidates had voiced their opposition lo it.

Governor Rockefeller and his Democratic opponent Frank D. O'Connor did not approve of the lottery but both said they would sign legislation implementing it if the voters approved. The machinery to set up the lottery is far complete. The amendment was-approved by two consecutive state legislatures and Tuesday went to the people. But now, the task of setting up the mechanics falls on the 1967 legislature.

The job is complex. It must be determined how many times a year the lottery will be method, who will administer it, the amount of prize money, and its cost of administration. If the governor approves it, he will have to set up a commission to put the lottery in motion. Opponents of a lottery argued for months that money derived from gambling should not be used to finance-state programs, of which education is a major part. On the other hand, those advocating it claimed the a would derive much needed money and not have to raise taxes.

They argued that people i gamble anyway and.would not encourage the man can afford it to put his money on an unsure proposition. New Yorkers are watching closely the status of the State of New Hampshire's lottery or sweepstakes, which is being argued before the Supreme Court in Washington. The main issue is whether a man can be prosecuted for buying- sweepstakes tickets in one state and transporting them to his home state. If the Supreme Court rules he can't, it-could seriously diminish the revenue New York expects to derive-from its lottery because residents of other states would.not be able to purchase tickets and bring them home. Returns on the other 11 questions were inconclusive early today with only upstate districts reporting.

First returns showed voters in favor of Proposition 1, to authorize the state to borrow up to $200 million to develop recreational facilities. It is a project begun by Governor Rockefeller to build campsites, -state and municipal parks and other recreational facilities in the In 1960, voters approved $75 million and another $25 million in 1961 for recreation land acquisition, but enthusiastic support for this year's proposition has not followed that of previous years. While early returns indicated defeat of Amendment 9, fiscal independence for the Buffalo school system, later figures appeared to change the picture. With' 4,978 districts reporting, the vbte was: 677,339 yes, 640,880 no. Scattered returns indicated defeat two Job Development Percy Is New Star For GOP CHICAGO (UPI) Chai-les Harting Percy loomed today as a new star in the Republican senatorial lineup.

He had his political sex appeal, some white backlash, and the faUure a political machine to thank lor it. And in the rubble left Illinois' Tuesday election stood a "vanquished, craggy old warrior, a pioneer of liberal causes for 18 years on the Senate floor, 74-year-old Paul H. Douglas. Defeated with Douglas was Mayor Richard J. Daley's Chicago machine, once an awesome dreadnought which in the past had been expected to deliver Democratic votes with the regularity of an assembly line.

It was" still doubtful today whether Daley's machine had delivered Cook County for Douglas, alone Illinois. Percy's grip on the Illinois vote amounted to about 54 per cent. With 8,415 precincts counted--79 per cent of Illinois' 10.767--the "golden boy" self- made millionaire had 1,569,821 votes to Douglas' 1,314,454.

Cosmo Leuzze, Pastor, Assembly of God This Ad Courtesy ot its greatest humiliation Daley took its helm, managed to salvage the city of Chicago -for Douglas, once its champion vote-getter, by about 100,000 votes. But that could not come close to offsetting Percy's edge of almost 200,000 in the Cook County suburbs outside of Chicago or in the downstate counties where Republicans win their elections.in Illinois. Douglas' age could be a partial cause of the debacle. So could unrest over the war in Viet Nam. But the drain on the Chicago vote was of such dimensions that another reason had to be sought--and it appeared to be backlash.

But, in the race for district delegates, the GOP was out in front. It appeared that Javits would be a delegate because he also has Liberal endorsement. There will be 186 deleeates, three from each of the 57 Senatorial districts and the 15-at-large. Both parties placed great importance on controlling the convention, which will probably adopt a permanent reapportionment plan for the state. A state lottery appears certain of approval as the proposal led by better than a three-to- two margin.

And, in New York City the voters turned down a civilian review board for the police department. Sen. Robert F. Kennedy, who backed O'Connor during the campaign was considered U.N. ambassador, clung to a lead in a big race for state treasurer.

'67 Legislature Control To Be Divided Again (Continued from Page 1) Democrats won at least 70 Assembly seats on the basis of incomplete returns and were declared "safe" in other contests to assure their conlrol next year. Republicans will have at least 65 members in the larger house, and may pick up a few more. The Democrats held sway to the tune of 89 to 75 with one vacancy in the 1966 session. The 1966 split legislature lasted more than six months because of the inability of either house to reach quick compromises and agreements on major legislation. Top GOP leaders predict, however, that the 1987 session will not be a lengthy one.

It must be concluded, they said, by April when the State Constitutional Convention meets. Conservative Democrats, GOP To Be In Control (Continued from Pago 1) have been converted to losses by a switch of two votes. Medicare, the final product of a legislative drive that began under Truman, could have been' derailed at one point if 24 votes had been changed. Votes Are Changed Now those votes are changed --and some more besides. Democrats were reconciled in advance to the loss of some seats in Tuesday's elections.

Such losses are normal in non- presidential election year's. And even on that kind of assumption they forecast a slowing down of the legislative machine in the 9flth congress. There was some reason to think Johnson might not have come up with major new homefront spending plans anyway, no matter how the elections came out, unless he could cut costs of the Viet Nam war, a development not now in sight. He could argue, with merit, that most of his program had already been put into law. The big fight now will be on the annual appropriations to keep those programs running.

Rent subsidies for housing low income 'families squeaked by last time, 192 to 188, and probably will not make it again. The teacher corps, another hairbreadth creation of the 89th Congress, also likely will die. The antippverty war will be a i and probably slowed. There will be less I lukewarm to his nomination in the first place, said the Democratic defeat indicated the New York organization needed an overhauling. "Obviously, I'm disappointed at Frank O'Connor's defeat," Kennedy said.

"I think it means the party is not-as strong as it should 'be. We've got to do something about it." Kennedy, considered a ruling force in the state organization, said he did not agree the defeat of O'Connor indicated a growing trend toward conservatism. But he added: "However, I think there is a feeling on the part of some to want to go slow." Rockefeller lost a a County--one of the conservative strongholds by a substantial margin. For many years, this central section of the state was considered a Republican bastion. Running strong in a Democratic New Yorlc City and the suburban areas, Rockefeller piled up 44.9 per cent of the votes to O'Connor's 37.9.

FDR, Jr. polled only a few more voles than Adams and kept the Liberal Party on the third line of the ballot. Roosevelt had 8.6 per cent of the vote and Adams, 8.4 per cent.

Simultaneously, the Nichols chain is opening a similar store in Auburn. These two are the eight and ninth Nichols stores in New York, New Jersey, and Pennsylvania. Three more stores one in Ohio and two in West Virginia' are slated to open next spring. Irving Rosenbaum, president of Nichols, is scheduled to attend tomorrow's ribbon-cutting ceremonies here, along with other high company and local civic officials.

Rosenbaum said that the Canandaigua Nichols store represents an investment of nearly $1 million for land and building alone. He said it has over 150 employes.

"We are a complete department store," Rosenbaum said, The three Republican candidates to represent the 49fh state senate district, which includes Ontario County, at next year's state Constitutional Convention won election yesterday handily, as they received nearly twice as many votes as their Democratic rivals. Unofficial totals from the six- county district show that Robert M. Quigley of Phelps was the big winner, with 59,675 votes. Charles A. Cusick of Auburn finished second with 55,618 votes.

Running third was Horace G. Howard of Newark with 53,576 votes. The Democratic candidates finished in this order: James G. Auburn, Irving Stevens of Lodi, and Donald Eades of Geneva, 30,589. Quigley also led the voting here in Ontario County, where the results Quigley Howard, Cusick 13,810.

County Turns Lottery Plan Down Ontario County, like most of Upstate New York, turned thumbs down on the charter amendment that provides for a state lottery. However, heavy approval of the lottery in New York City was great enough to offset the Upstate vote against it. Voters in Ontario County approved Proposition 1, which would allow the sale of $200 million in bonds for recreation' al land acquisition and development. They also-approved: Amendment 4 which empowers the legislation to provide more money for aid and education of the mentally ill and retarded.
