Fortunately for Keating, New Yorkers are confirmed ticket splitters, as Republican Senator Jacob Javits, the state's best vote getter and a staunch Keating ally, proved in 1962 when he was re-elected by 983,000 votes while Democrat Arthur Levitt, running for comptroller, was re-elected by 791,000-a split of 1,774,000. New York, in fact, makes it impossible to vote a straight ticket by pulling a single lever in a voting booth or marking a single X on a paper ballot to choose all candidates, instead requires that voters indicate each choice separately...
Kansas: Both U.S. Senators and all five Congressmen are Republicans, and Kansans seem likely to pick silver-haired Republican William Avery, 53, a ten-year congressional veteran, over Democrat Harry Wiles, 48, a St. John attorney...

Instantly, there was speculation about how his indictment might affect contests for state offices. Both gubernatorial candidates -Republican John Volpe and Democrat Francis X. Bellotti-are Italian-Americans, and thereby are presumably equally immune (or susceptible) to any bloc-vote protest. But there is to be a referendum on Nov. 3 on whether to curtail the powers of the Governor's Council-specifically abolishing its right to approve gubernatorial appointments. Volpe has favored it all along, while Bellotti...
