voters choose leadership at every level Democrat Iames Earl 'ijimmyv Garter Ir. emerged victo- rious in the presidential election on Nov. 2. He won by a narrow victory over the incumbent President Gerald Ford. A unique feature of the campaign was the Great Debate, a series of televised encounters between Ford and Carter. Fordls vice presidential candidate, Sen. Robert Joseph Dole, and Garteris choice for a running mate, Sen. Walter Fred- erick Fritz', Mondale, also faced each other on the televi- sion screen for one evening. During the smnmer both nominating conventions were marked with unusual excitement and suspense.

Carter was the first President from the Deep South for over 100 yearsg Ford was the first incumbent to lose a presiden- tial election since Herbert Hoover in 1932. Garter won the election by 297 to 241 electoral votes, but President Ford carried Arizona. Continued on next page. 26 elections wide world photos
