He is rugged handsome organized and drives himself at such a Pace that even his dentist has had to wait six months for an appointment. A member of the House before his election Dole who can be classified generally As a conservative Republican got More votes on nov. 5 than any Senate candidate in Kansas Ever has. He polled 490,911 votes and had a 175,000 margin Over his democratic rival William i. Robinson a Wichita lawyer. Dole s vigorous Campaign efforts to remain in Washington Are something of a Paradox when measured against a description he once gave of the nation s capital Washington is comparable to a cd Clamp confusion consternation and conniving Dole said. This was an obvious play on the civilian conservation corps of pre world War ii Days. Dole 45, has a photogenic face dark Wavy hair and a Frame that helped him win his freshman numerals in foot Ball basketball and track at the University of Kansas. That was before he enlisted in the army in world War ii. He subsequently was serving in combat in Italy As a second lieutenant and platoon Leader when Shell fragments riddled Bis body. After his release from extensive hospitalization Dole decided to study Law. He got interested in politics and at age26, while still in Law school was elected to the Kansas House of representatives in 1960 he was elected to the . House. S a congressman Dole consistently rated High in evaluations by the conservatively oriented americans for constitutional action. But Dole says he does not believe heis what would be considered a conserva Tive. I believe the record shows Good bal Ance he said. The stars and stripes in his Campaign for the Senate Dole said the american people Are tired of the same old tired solutions of the great society that All problems can be solved by spending More  there s been too much meddling with the Economy of our country he said. Ignorance and apathy not social ism or communism Are this country s greatest enemies Dole said in Bis Campaign. I say this because it is the less obvious disease of apathy that socialism and communism and other political ills feed upon he said. He suggested at one time that enlisted men in the armed services be brought under the Federal minimum wage Law. Dole has called for accelerated train ing of South vietnamese soldiers. As soon As we have trained 10,000south vietnamese i would bring that Many american boys Home he said. He put an appeasement Label on the nuclear test ban treaty and Johnson administration insistence that coexist ence with the soviet Union is possible Page 13
