c?ange his mind and campaign on 
his own--as he did four years ago--
af tE r he analyzes the primary elec-
iueans the department was nearly 13 
millio.n short of having enough to 
carry it through the cirrent biennium. 
Projecting that into the next bien-
nium, it could mean the department 
could need some $30 million more 
for the 1969-71 .biennium than was 
appropriated for this program by the tion returns. 
Evans, polling but 42.6. per cent of 
the total vote cast for' governor, has 
his own work cut out for him. Mean .. 
while, Art Fletcher, the Republican 
nominee for lieutenant governor, poll-
ed but 28 per cent of the vote cast 
for that office, and Slade Gorton, 
another Republican nominee, polled 
only 22.4 per cent of the' vote cast 
for attorney general. .

Considering how much more will 
be needed for education and for in-

of that surplus, even though it does 
run into nine figures.

The tax issue could be pretty well 
buried in the gubernatorial campaign, 
with Atty. Gen. John J. O'Connell

One reason that talk has subsided 
is that the general fund surplus could 
look pretty small by the time the bi-
ennium ends next June 30. 
For one thing, almost as soon as 
the · 1969 Legislature convenes here 
next January, it will face the choice 
of either making a $4.7 million de-
ficiency appropriation to the depart· 
ment of public assistance or forcing 
ratable reductions in welfare grants.
