Lowell Just a few more days and Ne braska will be jogging along again in the even tenor of its way with November 6 a memory, unpleasant to some and pleasant to others. The spotlight is held by Rep. E. R. Burke, democrat, and R. C. Sim mons, republican, running for the United States senate; R. L. Coch ran, democrat, and Dwight Gris wold, republican, running for gov ernor; the Norris one-house legis lature plan and fhe state’s consti tutional prohibition law which Comes up for approval or rejection by t^e voters. An outstanding feature of this election will be the absence of the party circle from the ballot for the first time since Nebraska adopted the Australian ballot. This delet tion, brought about by the demo cratic legislature of 1933, will bene fit the republicans and handicap the democrats as there are more voters of the latter political faith registered in the state than there are republicans. The Roosevelt New Deal has en tered largely into the campaign with Burke and Cochran upholding it, and Simmons and Griswold, es pecially the former, hurling verbal brickbats at the NRA, AAA and new deal expenditures generally. Simmons is Charging that Arthur F. Mullen, Nebraska's former dem-i ocratic national committeman, is building a political machine and is supporting Burke for this reason. Burke claims that the new deal saved the natiop in time of crisis, and that Simmons is a “puppet” of S. R. McKelvie, former republi can governor, bitter foe of the new (Political Advertisement) J.H.KEMP Republican Candidate 1 for United States Senator For Unexpired Term J. H. KEMP • He has had legislative experi ence, serving two terms in the Nebraska State Senate, the last term was elected presi dent of that body. His chief interest Is In farms, farming, and stock raising, and during the past ten years has given roost of his time to such interests. In Mr. Kemp s opinion the pro cessing tax ts working a hard ship on both the producer and j consumer; that in the final analysts, the NRA will work to the benefit of the big in dustries of the east, and to the detriment of the agricul tural west, permitting the massing ot huge fortune* undet the Code System, vir tually giving the big indtis tries u government monopoly, while those engaged in agri culture and stock raising win be operating at a loss. deal and member of President Hoover’s former farm board. National issues mix with person ality factors in congressional races for the state’s five seats, all held at the present time by democrats. Edgar Howard of Columbus is the only incumbent running for reelect ion, however, and his republican opponent is Karl Stefan, Norfolk radio announcer. In the First district, Henry Luckey of Lincoln, democrat, is running on a support-the-persident platform, while his republican op ponent, Marcus Poteet of Lincoln, is following Simmons tactics. The incumbent, Representative More head, decided not to enter the po litical arena this year. Charles F. McLaughlin, democrat Omaha, is firmly behind the new deal in the Second district contest, I while Herbert Rhodes, also of Omaha, his opponent, is admitting that there are some.good qualities in the Roosevelt program. Burke, the incumbent, is running for sena tor. 4 Representative Shallenberger, incumbent in the Fourth district, was beaten in the primary election, and the contest is between C. G. Binderup of Minden, democrat lean ing slightly to the left wing, and J. W. Hammond, Holdrege editor, who ranks as a more or less pro gressive republican. One of the hottest contests is being staged in the Fifth district where the democratic Harry Coffee of Chadron is running on a plat form 100 per cent for the president. A. N. Mathers, Gering banker, claims he would not harass the president but would “stand on his own feet.” Incumbent Terry Car penter of Scottsbluff decided to run for governor instead of reelect ion and fell by the primary wayside. Voters also will decide whether to adopt a constitutional amend ment legalizing pari-mutual betting at horse races, whether to elect R. C. Hunter (D), Omaha, or J. H. Kemp (R), Fullerton for the short term senatorship; keep Walter Jurgensen (D), Lincoln, as lieu tenant governor, or give the job to C. W. Johnson (R), of Potter; retain Harry Swanson (D), of Omaha, as secretary of state, or put Frank Marsh (R), Norfolk on the job. In the race for state auditor, it remains to be seen whether W, B. Price of Lincoln will keep the job, or a republican, G. W. Marsh of Lincoln, will step into the job he formerly held. Harry P.

George E. Hall is confident of stay ing in as treasurer, but T. W. Bass (R), Lincoln, wants his old job back. W. H. Wright (D), Scottsbluffs, has hopes of stepping up from as sistant to the attorney general, but there is a sizeable obstacle in his way in the person of R. O. Johnson (R), Lincoln. Will M. Maupin of Lincoln is carrying the democratic banner for railway commissioner with Robert J. Marsh, O’Neill, a newcomer to Nebraska politics, as his republican opponent. L. B. Day is without opposition on the ballot for supreme court judge in the Second district; Ed ward E. Good, incumbent, W’ahoo, and J. A. Brunt, Fairbury, will' fight it out for the judgeship from the Fourth district, and Carter of Gering and Tewell of Sidney are the contestants for the bench from the Sixth district. J. A. Jimerson, Auburn superintendent of schools, is making a strong fight to unseat the incumbent Charles W. Taylor of Lincoln as state superintendent of public instruction, in another non-political contest. Senator Norris’ dream that Ne braska adopt the unicameral style of legislature is commanding more attention f#om the voters, perhaps, than any phase of the general elect ion campaign with the possible ex ception of the Burke-Simmons de bates in the senatorial contest. Norris, now 73 years old, is stump ing the state with at least one speech a day for his one-house plan which he has termed his “last fight.” Norris urges the adoption of the one-house plan as a means of fixing responsibility and reducing govern mental costs. A spirited opposition charges the plan would tend tow ard dictatorship and would reduce rural representation as the senator proposes a small chamber of 30 to 50 members to be elected by dis tricts on a non-partisan ballot. A poll taken by the American Legislators’ association, represent national legislators, professors of political science, the American Bar association, American Bankers’ as sociation, American Federation of Labor, American Association of University Women, League of Women Voters, and newspaper editors, show a composite vote of all groups against the one-house plan by a 3-2 majority. The Ameri can political science association voted 6 to 1 in favor of the propos al, however. Three states have attempted the unicameral plan and all have abandoned it. Vermont kept it for 59 years up to 1836. A number of states, including Arkansas, Arizona Massachusetts, Oklohoma and Ore gon, have considered abandonment of the bicameral plan at some time in the past 25 years, but none has done so. In several other states the legislatures or committees have rejected the one-house system. — Gist of the Capitol News. Governor Bryan claims that by rejecting the first bids on three highway projects and readvertising he has saved the state $110,000 this month. The state thus will have more money to spend on other road work, a large part of which will go to employ labor and pay wages, the governor asserts. The chief ex ecutive also expresses disappoint ment that a Tennesee firm walked off with the big construction pro ject for 15 miles of earth removal on the Columbus power project, but says it is the Nebraska contractors’ own fault for “not getting their bids down to bedrock.” Dr. P. H. Bartholomew, state di rector, announces that there were 464 accidental deaths in Nebraska for the first half of 1934, or about a ten per cent increase over the same period last year. Deaths from the heat, however, were less than half as many as for the pre ceeding year despite the excessive heat this summer. There were 6,094 male and 5,875 female births during the half year, including 115 sets of twins and three sets of trip lets.

Heretofore the service extended only to places 300 miles or less from point of ship ment. Some of the increased tax levies made by various counties this year to meet requirements of the federal emergency relief administration will be challenged in court as ex ceeding the legal limit, the attorney general’s office has been informed. The North Western railroad will bring the suit. There are now 75 counties that have signed the fed eral relief agreement, which entails providing the equivalent of 1.93 mills on the 1934 assessed valuation and one-fourth of the county s gas oline tax money for relief including employment.
