Democrats, Carter win big; Ford runs out of gas This may have been the year of the serpent for the Chinese, but for the National Republican Party, it was the year of the peanut. When James Earl Carter stepped quietly from the governorship of Georgia to make a bid for the presidency, many were surprised. Suprise turned to national interest as the “dark horse candidate proceeded to capture Washington with his huge grin and his candid speeches that eventually helped win him the presidential race against Republican candidate, Gerald Ford. After the presidential candidates were nominated, the public speculated as to whom their running mates would be. Senator Robert Dole of Kansas received the nod from the republicans, while Carter chose Senator Walter Mondale of Minnesota. The three-part Ford- Carter debates proved a highlight of the election. This was the first time since 1960 (when the Kennedy- Nixon debates took place) that the two major candidates met face-to- face to discuss their policies on national television. While Carter was gradually taking lead in the national polls, the Senior Class established its own mock election, in which Ford tallied 512 electoral votes as compared to Carter’s 23 votes. On a more individual basis, sophomore Becky Galambos, a staunch Carter supporter, campaigned at Highland ' s Democratic headquarter’s because she “believes in Jimmy.” In the state, incumbent Dr. Otis Bowen won his bid for re-election as governor. This was the first time ever that a governor was able to directly succeed himself. Previously, a governor was allowed to run again, but only after a four- year term had been sandwiched between his terms. Also on the state-wide scene, Richard Lugar defeated Senator Vance Hartke. Although the year of the serpent represented fertility to the Chinese, the peanut has a more difficult analogy to draw, unless you happen to be George Washington Carver or you know all 300 uses of the peanut. Interviews by Panther Press staff members with top candidates for office enable photographer Joe Kus to shoot Gov. Otis Bowen. In an effort to get votes for Jimmy Carter, sophomomre Becky Galambos calls local residents to remind them to vote on Election Day. 22
