Gov. John B. Swainson as heir to six-term Gov. Williams.

Swainson will be Michigan's youngest chief executive since Stevens T. Mason became the State's first Governor in 1835 at the age of 24. The new Governor rode to victory early Wednesday with President-elect John V. Kennedy, who carried Michigan for the Democrats for the first time in a presidential election since 1944.

Kennedy won the Presidency Wednesday the first Roman Catholic and the youngest man ever elected to the office. Not since the 1916 race in which Woodrow Wilson edged Charles Evans Hughes was the vote so close.

Another such break was Kennedy's brilliant bout with the ministers at Houston In September.

His performance, there was on film, and was reproduced on television all through the campaign. This film did much to minimize the religious Issue.

At the Hyannis Port (Mass.)

These appointees are picked partly on the assumption that they will cast their electoral votes for their party's candidate if he wins the popular vote in their state. When you voted Tuesday, you didn't really vote for Kennedy or Nixon. Their names were on the ballot, but that was just to make it easier for you. Under the national election law, you really were voting for either the 20 Michigan Democratic electors or the 20 Michigan Republican electors.

IN SOME STATES, the names of the top party candidates don't even appear on the ballot. The names of the electors for each party may appear, or just the names and insignia of the parties themselves.

Speaker Sam Rayburn promised early House passage of a "good including a minimum-wage increase, a school-construction bill, relief for chronically depressed areas and medical care for the aged. KENNEDY has these among legislative goals on which he wants action in the first 90 days of his Administration. Rayburn also forecast Con gressional efforts to trim Federal spending where consistent with security and national interests. He ruled out for the time being either increases or reductions in taxes.

BUT DON'T WORRY You Didn't Vote For President! It is possible for a presidential candidate to draw a majority of the popular vote and still lose, because of an archaic, often-attacked institution known as the Electoral thanks supporters Day The press corps in the Hyan- ms Port Armory saw the return of the "reserved young man" after weeks of seeing him most often as the fire-eating candidate.

With characteristic confidence, he told the American people: "The election may have been a close one, but I 'think that there is general agreement by all of our citizens that a supreme national effort will be needed in the years ahead to move this country safely through the 1960s.

Generally the possibility is remote, and no one worries about it.

But the quirk In our national election law began to get more attention Wednes-day as Vice President Richard M. Nixon kept whittling down the slim popular majority polled by Senator John F. Kennedy. By late Wednesday, Kennedy led by a slim four-tenths of one per cent majority of the vote. His election, however was insured by having a lead of 338 votes to Nixon's 185 votes in the Electoral College.

Actually, there are 50 Electoral Colleges one for each state deciding a presidential election. Each state, under the Constitution, gets a number of electors equal to the total number of its senators and representatives in Washington. Michigan has 20 electoral votes.
