NEBRASKA RACE Lewcllen, Neb.— (UP) — Confirm ing previous reports that she might be an independent candidate for United States senator, Mrs. Beatrice Fenton Craig, of Lincoln, declared in an address here Wednesday that she could never “suppott a candi date who despises the party label.” Mrs. Craig had filed before the primaries as a republican candidate but withdrew in the hope that her withdrawal would clear the field and enable W, If. Stebbins to defeat Sen ator George W. Norris in the con test for the republican nomination •for United States senator. After Stebbins’ defeat for the nomination, she intimated rhe would file as an independent candidate. “As :oon as the results of the pri mary election were tabulated and analyzed, we began to realize that a very difficult task was in store lor the committee which would formu late the resolutions and become the republican party platform,” Mrs. Craig said here in an address at the Garden county fair. “Thousands of Nebraska voters had been disfranchised in relation to the United States senatorship. A party skeleton threatened to disturb the peace. Cculd it be draped in robes of while, placed in an incon spicuous corner, forgotten? Exactly, that was what was done. “It is easy to approve the plat form adopted by the republican party in its state convention held in Lincoln, September 4, with one ex ception: I cannot support any can didate who despises the party label and wears it only when seeking his own election, or when it contributes to his own personal or fractional political power. I believe in govern ment expressed through party ef fort, and that a national adminis tration should be supported by those elected as its sffiliants. National progress is made only by construc tive party co-operation. The time has arrived when every Nebraska citizen, regardless of status, must stop, think and vote to sustain our, American ideals.” Mrs. Craig said she had the re quired 1,000 names on a petition asking her to run as an independent candidate for the scnaicrship and this was expected to be filed soon with the secretary, of state.
