Kansas DOLE v. ROY Kansas is one state where the G.O.P. incumbent may be saved by a Watergate backlash. At least he is doing his best to help it along. In mid-October, Senator Robert J. Dole, 5 1 , was hard to recognize in his TV spots...
...face was either covered with crayon scrawlings or splattered with mud. It was his rather startling way of telling voters that he was being unfairly tarred with Watergate by supporters of his opponent, Congressman William R. Roy, 48. Many viewers apparently agreed with the message, and Dole caught up with Roy in the polls. The spots, Roy grudgingly concedes, have "to a degree turned Dole into a Watergate martyr or hero...
...Dole dashed through 26 counties in the first two weeks of October, assuring voters that his heart belongs to Kansas and not to Washington.

Dole's supporters have tried to pin the abortionist label on Dr. Roy, an obstetrician who delivered no fewer than 5,000 babies and performed several legal abortions. Roy, who has been active in politics all his career, campaigns largely on his support of public health and environmental issues. Dole has his hands full just trying to wrench himself clear of his party. After President Ford pardoned Nixon and announced his amnesty program, Dole quipped that he had received "about all the help from President Ford that I can stand." Neck and neck...
