THE NEBRASKA
SCENE
i
Lincoln, Nebraska: Nebraska
has a bunch of politicians who
thought they rated in the presi
dential class who are both sadder
and wiser as a result of the visit
of Thomas E. Dewey last week.
Many of these disillusioned
gentlemen belong to the coherts
that support Senator Vandenburg.
Others have feelings of admiration
for Taft and Hoover. Now they
feel that some streamlining has
been done in this campaign of 1040.
Soon after Mr. Dewey and his
staff arrived in Lincoln for Found
ers’ day, a series of conferences
began. From the misty outside
came delegation after delegation.
: These visitors arrived on schedule;
they represented labor, the farm
I ers, business men and student
1 groups. The personnel of these
delegations indicated that consid
j erable political medicine had been
brewed.
Numerous requests,’’ said Dew
ey’s informational chieftain, “came
! to us from people w'ho wanted to
meet Mr. Dewey. Of course, you
know, it’s impossible to have indi
vidual introductions. So we ar
ranged to have these groups meet
Mr. Dewey.”
Champions oT Mr. Vandenberg
hoped to have their leader address
the republican state convention at
Columbus, May 2. Then came the
demand to have Dewey’s name
placed on the ballot. Vanden
berg’s manager had to follow suit.
There is no doubt that the youth
ful Dewey injected life, color, and
movement into Nebraska politics.
In 1920, the republican delega
tion to the national convention
disregarded the istructions of the
voters at the polls. At the Chicago
convention irj that year, Hiram
Johnson was endorsed. Leonard
Wood had the support of most of
j the delegation until the sudden
coup for Harding. In 1936, the in
structions for Senator Borah were
disregarded.
The following were chosen to
head the Founders’ Day program
for 1941: C. C. Frazier, Aurora,
senior chairman; Mrs. C. A. Davis,
Lincoln, senior vice-chairman; Don
Kelley, McCook, junior chairman;
and Mrs. Andrew Mapes, Norfolk,
junior vice chairman.
National Committman Quigley
and more than 200 democrats
staged a lively meeting while the
republicans were celebrating. The
nomination of Charles A. Defoe
for the First district congressional
short term was approved by the
entire democratic state committee.
Omaha was selected as the location
for the state convention, to be held
May 2. Luther Bonham of Beat
rice was chosen treasurer of the
state committee to succeed George
Proudfit.
Oren S. Copeland, foimer mayor
of Lincoln, has won the approval
of the attorney general to have his
name placed on the ballot for candi
date for congress in the First
district. However, the decision
leaves the matter open to further
legal proceedings if the protestants
wish to go into court. Question
as to the validity of the filing arose
under a 1933 act which precludes
incumbents from one elective office
from seeking another elective
office. When Copeland made his
filing, election-law authorities ex
pressed the opinion that inasmuch
as he resigned as mayor before
filing on the First district congress
ional ticket, Copeland was no long,
er an incumbent and tnerefore the
filing would be legal.
A statewide organization, prob
ably to be called the Tree Planters’
Council, its object to co-ordinate
tree-planting activities in Nebras
s under way, and the Com
mittee of Five which will soon have
interesting plans to announce, is as
follows: Clayton W. Watkins, Lin
coln, extension forester of the col
lege of agriculture of the Univers
ity of Nebraska, chairman; Tom
Leadley, Lincoln, editor of the
Nebraska Farmer; Wayland Ma
gee, Bennington, farmer; Mrs. C.
R. Caley, Springfield, president of
the Nebraska Federation of Wo
men’s clubs; and J. R. Kinder, Lin

Change Winter-killed oil—
and here's why to
change to OILrPLATING
Slush in the gutter is scarcely thinner
and dirtier thanWinter oil over-staying
in your engine. Drain nowj Get cyl
inders, rings, bearings, and other pre
cious parts oil-plated by changing to
Conoco Germ Processed oil—patented.
Your Mileage Merchant puts it in at
an ordinary price, in the ordinary way.
But how extraordinary is the man-made
extra substance in the Conoco formula,
that sets up a strong “power of attrac
tion”—makes engine parts draw glossy
oil-plating all over themselves and
keep holding it close ... as drain-proof
as plating on hub caps.
Not for one instant can oil-plating
drain “down home” to the crankcase.
Though you’re speeding the limit or
parking long hours, oil-plating is al
ways faithfully maintained. All in
addition to the strong oil-film of Germ
Processed oil, this drain-proof oil
plating helps to keep down wear. And
that’s how to keep your engine nearest
to the oil economy of its youth. Your
correct Germ Processed oil for Spring,
at Your Mileage Merchant’s Conoco
station today, gives you an oil-plated
engine. Continental Oil Company
