Minnesotans Still
Don’t Know Who They
Elected As Governor
ST. PAUL, Minn. (/PI — Minne
sota elected a governor more that
a month ago but still isn’t sun
who he is. And it may be weeks
possibly months, before the an
swer comes.
Legally, at the moment, the
winner in the closest race in the
state's history is the man now
occupying the governor’s chair, Re
publican Elmer Andersen, a St.
Paul businessman.
The Minnesota Canvassing Board
finally certified Andersen the win
ner over Democrat Karl Rolvagg,
currently the lieutenant governor.
b\ 142 votes.
This is about two one-hundreths
if one per cent of the 1,267,502
rallots cast.
The Canvassing Board named
\ndersen the winner only after
he State Supreme Court had told
t to.
The board originally had split
m whether to name Andersen or
tolvagg. At issue were 10 counties
n which the original canvassed
•ote was changed after errors were
liscovered. Most of the changes
vere in Andersen's favor.
If the 10 altered county totals
lad not been accepted, Rolvagg
vould have been the winner by 58
otes. But the high court told the
>oard to accept them.
To no one’s surprise, Rolvagg
immediately launched the legal
sreliminaries for a recount. He
.id so under Minnesota law by
iling a petition in a District Court,
hoosing a county in heavily Re
mblican southern Minnesota for
lis petition.

“HOW NEAR IS THE END OF THE WORLD”
1
GOP Holm Says . . .
FAIRBANKS <JF> — Answering
widely publicized statements of
State Election Director Jack Mc
Farland that tax dollars were
being wasted by the recount just
completed in Juneau, Republican
John Holm issued this statement:
“Mr. McFarland complains about
the expense to the state of the re
cent recounts.
“The unnecessary expense of
flying Bob Caffe, Central Dist,
Election Supervisor from Fairbanks
to Juneau and keeping him there
ten days, wasted hundreds of dol
lars of the taxpayers’ money.
■
"The Democrats spent a total of
about $1,500 of the peoples’ money
trying to unseat me. Why, then,
should Mr. McFarland camplain
about undue expenses to the state
from the other recounts where the
Republicans picked up most of
the tab?
“If the cost of a recount is ex
orbitant, it is clearly the fault of
the elections laws written by the I
Democrats in 1959 — not the fault j
of those who asked for, and paid !
for, the recounts.”
Suspects No Fraud
JUNEAU L-P — Commenting on |
the loss of 94 votes in one pre
cinct by Johnny Coonjohn in
Fairbanks, Election Director Jack
McFarland said “there is substant
ial reason to suspect a mistake has
been made but there is absolutely
no reason, at this point to suspect
fraud. He said the recount showed
that there “simply was an error
in tallying. There weren’t the
ballots to back up the tally for
one candidate.”
McFarland said he, along with
Election Supervisors Robert Caf
fee and Gordon Gray had talked
over the situation and Mr. Caffee
was instructed to contact the elec
tion judges in that precinct to de
termine what was the trouble.
McFarland said he had talked
with Caffee since and he had been
unable to contact all but those
who had been contacted said the
element of “fatigue” was involved.

GOP Cooper Says . . .
FAIRBANKS UP> — Republican
state chairman George Cooper has
charged State Election Supervisor
Jack McFarland with attempting
to create a smoke screen with rash
charges on the recent recount of
the governor’s race and four races
for the House of Representatives.
Cooper said: “It is my charge
that Jack McFarland is attempt
ing. through rash charges aimed
at a few Republicans, to create a
smoke screen to hide the real is
sues at hand.
“The apparent issue is a very
weak, unenforceable, election code
and the need for pre-registration.
The election code, enacted by a
Democratic controlled legislature
and executive branch, is so inef
fective that half way through re
cent recounts the administration,
through an opinion of the Attor
ney General, overruled a previous
opinion of their former Attorney
General, concerning the same
matter.
“I ask if this is convenience, or
if if IVli„li- ml* _
rective action immediately, to pro
tect the voters’ rights?
“Our group (Republican party)
followed the law to the letter in
stating our reason for requesting a
recount; we paid the fee required,
and met the time limit imposed by
the law.
“As an elected public servant, I
would think McFarland should be
less publiclicy critical of his ad
ministration’s statutes.
“In the interest of good govern
ment, our party feels pre-registra
tion is mandatory and that this
could be best proven by evidence
of errors and violations uncovered
during the recount.
“To keep the record straight, the
public should be aware of the fact
that two of the House recounts
were requested by the Democrats,
one of which the $250 fee did not
apply. It certainly appears to me
that this is not a party affair, but
rather that both parties should
take bipartisan action and legislate
pre - registration and complete
overhaul of the state’s election
code.’’

Demo McFarland Says . . .
JUNEAU — State Elections
Director Jack McFarland Thurs
day answered a charge by a promi
nent Fairbanks Republican that
McFarland was dodging the real
issues involved in the recount of
general election ballots.
George Cooper, Republican State
Chairman, said that McFarland’s
press statements concerning the
cost to the state were unduly
harsh toward the Republican ap
plicants for the recounts and that
McFarland was trying to cover
up the point that pre-registration
for voters was one real need
shown by the recounts.
"It is hard to believe that Mr.
Cooper is serious,” McFarland said.
"It would be quite a trick to show
a need for pre-registration through
the counting of ballots. There is
no connection.”
"He might just as well say that
I am trying to cover up a need for
18 year olds to go into bars. One
doesn’t find out anything about
registration through counting bal
lots.”
The written statement con
tinued, “the Districts 10 and 16
recounts were recounts for which
there were valid reasons. That
Democratic candidates trailed by
narrow margins in these races has
nothing to do with the issue as far
as I am concerned. Had these been
Republican candidates, I would
state strongly that they were en
titled to recounts.”
“From what I hear,” McFarland
said, “Mr. Cooper is not really
speaking for his party. In fact, I
know that there was definite Re
publican pressure to kill a request
for the gubernatorial recount.”
, “No one has ever denied that
certain parts of the Election Code
need re-doing. This never was and
should not be be made a partisan
(issue. Democrats and Republicans
approved the code. If needed
changes are made, both Democrats
and Republicans will make them,”
he said.

Formal Notice for Mistrial
NASHVILLE, Tenn. tP — James
Hoffa’s attorneys said Thursday
they would file formal notice for
a mistrial as a result of the air
pistol attack Wednesday on the
Teamsters Union president.
The defense gave notice of its
intention as the $1 million con
spiracy trial resumed in a sub
dued atmosphere before a security
conscious U.S. District Judge. U.S.
Marshals guarded entrances to the
courtroom.
Daniel Maher, a Hoffa attorney,
sought to move for a mistrial but
Judge Wm. Miller told him to put
the motion in writing and sub
mit it to the clerk. Miller said he
would give it consideration but
did not want to waste time hear
defense arguments.
