Suspicious letters questioning voters' legal status

Attention voters! We have begun to witness locally, and at least in 14 other counties, efforts to suppress Republican votes in the upcoming election.

Suspicious letters questioning voters' legal status and citizenship began arriving in Florida over the past four days with a postmark from Seattle, Wash., accompanying a $.45 stamp. The local letter is supposedly from the Hillsborough Supervisor of Elections Office of Earl Lennard, and from the appropriate supervisor of elections for other recipients around the state.

Several things should strike prospective voters' attention right away: First, the elections supervisor would not use a mailing house from out of state. They would not use stamps. And all official correspondences would have the Hillsborough supervisor's seal or the seal from individual county offices.

Alex Karras, a Hawkeye football star from 1955 to 1957, died Wednesday. He was 77.

In 1957, Karras' senior year, he earned the Outland Trophy, a distinction that names the best lineman in the nation. Karras was named the runner up for the Heisman Trophy that same season.

The Daily Iowan described Karras as having the "size, desire, quickness, agility, and speed to go with his power physique" prior to his sophomore year in 1955. The article also stated, "If there is much more a lineman needs, the coaches have not discovered it." Karras started for Iowa all three years.

The Hawkeyes won the Rose Bowl in 1956 with Karras' help, defeating Oregon State, 35-19, and finishing out the season with a 9-1 record.
