Jan.-Well, it's election year again. Being the Bicentennial year ought to really add some pep to the campaigns. I can see the slogans now, For the nation's 200th birth- day, I’ll put 200 chickens in every pot. Maybe it won't be that bad, but I imagine there will be some exciting happenings. Feb.-Wow, the campaigns have really started! Seems like everybody wants to run for the big office. At last count, there were fourteen candidates just in the democratic party. Fred Harris of Ok. is running, but he doesn’t seem to be doing too well. March-The republicans seem to be giving the democrats a run for their money. The democrats have narrowed it down to the main three —Udall, Jackson, and Humphrey-but lots of people are talking about some new guy named Carter. April—The republicans seem to be hinging on Ford and Reagan. Reagan has been using the controversial Panama Canal issue as a weapon to shoot Ford down. May—Lots of states have had their pri- maries now, and the democrats still seem to be undecided, but that new guy, Jimmy What's-his-name, is making some small waves. June-The primaries are still going on. Several of the demo candidates have dropped out of the race, including Harris. Carter seems to be gaining momentum as he goes along. I guess people like his ‘down home boy’ image. July—The republicans are having a nice, ordinary campaign, but the democrats have moved into an all-out, mud-slinging battle, and most of the mud pies are aimed right at Carter. Aug.—“Carter's Bandwagon is the name tag given to Jimmy’s apparently indomitable campaign machine. The peanut farmer from Georgia is heading for the top. The GOP convention was held in Kansas City, with the feuding between Ford and Reagan hot and heavy. The race was extremely close, but Ford came out the victor. Sept.—Jerry Brown and Frank Church, latecomers in the campaign, presented a couple of mudholes for Carter's bandwagon, but they weren’t big enough to keep Carter from winning the democratic nomination by a unanimous vote. Oct.—The election is really close at hand. Carter challenged Ford to a debate, the first since the Nixon-Kennedy debates. Right now, the race is so close, not even Mr. Gallop will call it. Nov.—I stayed up all night last week watching the returns. Carter won. Looks like we're going to have lots of peanut butter. Dec.—President elect Jimmy Carter was on a Barbara Walters’ television special last night discussing the transition period. When asked about his greatest fear of being the President, he replied, I don’t want to disappoint the American people. Ms. Walters summed up the nations emotions when she pleaded, Be good to us. President-elect Jimmy Carter started interviewing prospects for White House positions sho after his election. 20-ELECTION 76-77
