By CHARLES W. KELLY Richard Nixon has been elected the 37th P resident of the United States and now it is tim e for th e nation to unite again as one behind his leadership. The new president will take office Jan. 20. It is possible to have a h e a lthy two party system and yet unite as one nation behind the elected president. P resident Johnson, Vice P resident H u m p h rey and Senator Muskie have all pledged th e ir support to Mr. Nixon. # # * Vice President H u m p h rey stood tall in defeat. In conceding the election he im m e d iately called up his supporters to u n ite behind President-elect Nixon in the b e s t interest of th e country. Roth Hum phrey and Senator Muskie can be proud of th e ir efforts in the campaign. I was glad th a t the new president was elected without going in the House of Representatives. * * * Congratulations to Congressman Mc Ewen, Senator Barclay, Assemblyman K eenan and Ronald Marose on their elec tio n Tuesday. We did not support any of these candidates, b u t the voter's of the N o rth Country did elect them to office. * * * I was disappointed in the statem ent issued by Congressman McEwen the morn ing after election. If lie would issue such a statem e n t as a w inner, you can imagine w h a t he would have said had he been defeated. The Congressman’s plurality in St. Lawrence County was cut from approxi m a tely 13,000 votes in 1966, to 2700 in 1968. It is possible that he is sensitive o v e r his poor showing in his home County, but this did not call fo r a state m e n t indicting his opponent, Dan Haley. W a lter Basmajian has called for a retrac tion, an apology, o r for Mr. McEwen to prove the lies and distortions of which he states. The Democrats have every right to expect this from M r. McEwen. I’m afraid th a t Mr. McEwen h a s allowed his sensitiv ity to overshadow his good judgm e n t. Mr. McEwen’s statem ent was in very poor taste. Mr. Haley was a gracious loser. U n for tu n a tely we can’t say Mr. McEwen was a gracious winner. * :J* * The Lions Club’s annual Glaucoma screening clinic will be Thursday afternoon a t the Presbyterian Church. This clinic, conducted by the Lions with the coopera tio n of Dr. Henry Kinosian and Dr. Robert W h itm o y er, opbhalmologists, is free. N u rses and students from the St. Lawrence S tate Hospital also play a m ajor role in th e clinic operation. Clip coupon from P a g e 13 of this issue and mail today as directed. * * * Mr. K eenan will be under the spotlight for the next two years. For the past two sessions of the S tate Legislature he has used the New York City Democrats as his alib i f o r little or no production on his part. N o w th a t th e Republicans have taken con tro l of the Assembly, Mr. K eenan will have to produce. If would be in the best interest of St. Lawrence County to have Mr. Keenan buckle down, do h is homework, and give St. Lawrence County the representation it richly deserves. * # * I am proud of th e voters of Ogdensburg an d the m andate th e y gave the new city ch a r te r in Tuesday’s election. The unoffi cial results showed 4092 voted “yes” and, only 760 “no”. It passed by a vote of about 6-1. It is a great step forw ard f o r Ogdens burg. The Charter Commission, th e Citi zens’ Committee and all others who work ed for the adoption of the C h a rter can be p r o u d of their efforts. Frank Murray, as chairm an of the Commission, and Lee P riest, as chairm an of the Citizens’ Com m ittee, worked very hard for the approval of tire Charter. It is now the responsibility of the Mayor and City Council to make su r e th a t the new Charter is efficiently p u t into operation. I hope the Council will call on some of th e talent that is on the Commission and th e Citizens’ Committee in putting th e C h a rter in operation. * * # The Poip W a rner football banquet will be held Tuesday night at the Odd Fellows Hall. This will be the final event f o r a very successful first season, It would be nice if every boy, coach, official who partici pated w ere present and at least one par e n t or guardian for each boy. * * * Monday morning the St. Lawrence County Board of Supervisor's will m e e t and one of the main item s on the agenda will be the proposed $18.2 Million budget for 1969. The Board is expected to ratify the salary contract for county em ployes for 1969. One of the m a in reasons for a re duction in tax rate for 1969 is because Com m issioner K M r in ’s welfare budget for 1969 is down, but y e t looking through the budget we noticed Mr. Kitchin is not am o n g those listed for even a token raise. This is the first tim e in m any years that th e welfare budget has gone down, instead Of up. Shouldn’t efficiency be rew arded? Q u a k e R o l l s A c r o s s 1 9 S t a t e s With New Duties Nixon Giving Agnew White House Office By WALTER MEARS Associated Press Writer . KEY BISCAYNE, Fla. (AP) — President-elect Richard M. Nixon assigned his vice presi dent to a White House office Saturday and promised him broad responsibilities, arranged a meeting with President John son Monday and said he may later send emissaries abroad. Nixon hinted he may want his own men overseas during the transitional period of t.he new Republcan administration which will take office Jan. 20, but he said he would take no such action without President Johnson’s approval. For Spiro T. Agnew, his vice president-elect, Nixon had word of new but unspecified duties at home and abroad. He said Ag new will have an office close by his own, and added that there will be no independent vice presidential staff in the execu tive branch. The plans he announced for Agnew were described in terms of cooperation but they seemed to imply supervision as well, early in the day, then met Hen ry Cabot Lodge, his vice presi dential running mate in 1960, now U.S. ambassador to West Germany. “The ambassador has agreed to undertake in the new administration some spe cial assignments,” Nixon said. He said they had discussed in detail the current Vietnam peace talks and the situation in the war zone. “He is one of my top consultants in this field,” Nixon said of Lodge, who for merly was U.S. ambassador to Saigon. Nixon again ruled out over seas travel before the inaugura tion, unless it is at President Johnson’s request. “Whatever the President might request in terms of the Vietnam situation, I would undertake,” he said. “I don’t anticipate that.” Talking briefly with newsmen at his Biscayne Bay retreat, Nixon said he might send repre sentatives overseas prior to the inauguration. “There is a possibility of some representation,” he said, without indicating where or in what connection. There has been speculation Nixon might want observers on hand at the Paris peace talks on Vietnam. Nixon said he would lake no action with regard to foreign representation until he has talked with Johnson and Secre tary of State Dean Rusk, whom he also expects to see Monday. “Anything I do between now and the inauguration would be cleared with and approved by the present administration,” Nixon said. “We can only have one presi dent at a time . . .” he said. “I will do nothing to derogate ei ther the President or his repre sentatives abroad.” Nixon said he has replied through diplomatic channels to the invitation of South Viet- namess President Bguyen Van Thieu.' The Saigon leader asked Nixon to visit South Vietnam. The president- elect already has announced he would make no such journey unless it was at Johnson’s request. Nixon announced 2nd graf 7 . Humphrey’s Delay Over Vietnam Was Fatal: McCarthy By JACK BELL Associated Press Writer WASHINGTON (AP) - Sen. Eugene J. McCarthy, D-Minn., said Saturday a delay by Vice President Hubert H. Humphrey in softening his Vietnam posi tion cost him the presidency in Tuesday’s close contest. McCarthy said in an interview he had no remorse for delaying . his own endorsement of Hum phrey, who defeated him for the Democratic nomination, until a few days before the election. The Minnesota senator de clined to speculate on whether Humphrey’s narrow loss to Re publican Richard M. Nixon might have been averted if McCarthy had not limited his endorsement to an announce m ent that he would vote for Humphrey and had campaigned actively for him. “If Vice President Humphrey had changed his position on Gietnam earlier in the cam paign, instead of waiting until , the last week to do it, he would have won,” McCarthy said. McCarthy said he regarded as significant two Humphrey state ments late in the campaign, he said these were Humphrey’s ex pressed willingness to have the National Liberation Front, the political arm of the Viet Cong, represented at the P a ris talks and his declaration that the Sai gon government should not have a veto on important American decisions. “1 think those statements helped pull him into a challeng ing position with Nixon,” Mc Carthy said, “fl eh had changed earlier it would have been more helpful.” The Minnesota senator, first to challenge President John son’s Vietnam course in the p ri maries, said he thinks the pre-e lection halt in attacks on North Vietnam helped dovish Senators seeking re-election more than Humphrey. McCarthy campaigned for several of the dove candidates. Despite the losses by Sen, Jo seph S. Clark, D-Pa., Paul O’Bwyer in New York and Sen. Wayne Morse, D-Ore., who may seek a recount, McCarthy pred icted the Senate will be a stronger force in the forging of foreign policy decisions under Nixon than it was under John son. LBJ, Nixon Will Meet On Monday WASHINGTON (AP) - Presi dent Johnson and President elect Richard M. Nixon will hold their first post-election meeting Monday, a luncheon at the White House.

Tremor Sways Buildi NolnjuriesAreRepertd By THE ASSOCIATED PRESS A strong earthquake centered in Southern Illinois shook more than a third of the United States Saturday, rolling across at least 19 states.
