TERRY CARPENTER HERE
Terry Carpenter, democratic nom
inee for United States senator, will
speak in Plattsmouth at 8 o'clock p.
m., on October 22 at the district court
room.
Mr. Carpenter is making a very
aggressive campaign over the state of
Nebraska with a sound truck and is
anxious to place his side cf t'.ie cam
paign before the people. lie is going
from town to town, discussing the
issues that confront Nebraska people
as he sees them. As all known, the
race for United States senator in Ne
braska is attracting attention not
only in this state but all over the
country. The race presents a situ
ation that is unique in the political
history of Nebraska, with three can
didates vying for votes.
Mr. Carpenter is the regularly
nominated democratic candidate. He
carried 59 counties in the April pri
mary election and lost some 1G more
by less than 2 5 votes. But despite
this record, the democratic conven
tion in Omaha endorsed the candidacy
of Senator George W. Norris who was
not a candidate at that time but has
since entered the race. The third
man in the race is Robert G. Sim
mons, republican candidate whom
Mr. Carpenter defeated for congress
in 1932. This situation presents
many new and novel angles in Ne
braska politics, and everywhere he
goes Mr. Carpenter is addressing
large crowds who want to hear his
views.

He says the drouth was not as bad

Nebraska, and was able to realize a
yield of around 25 bushels to the acre
on the quarter section farmed by his
son-in-law and about 20 bushels to
the acre of fine quality seed corn on
another quarter which he owns aj
few miles north of Sac City. He re
tired from farm life Eome fifteen

Much of the land in that vicinity
was cross-tiled for drainage years ago
when heavy rainfall was the rule and

well in the drouth years.
