State Capitol News — Omahan Pulls Sleeper Play in Filing For Attorney - General’s Position LINCOLN — Whether an Omaha Democrat named Har old P- Caldwell had pulled off the year’s biggest political sur prise was being debated at the capital this week. Caldwell walked into the sec retary of state’s office a few minutes before the 5 pm. fil ing Thursday, June 29, and submitted his application for the regular nomination at at torney - general, and also for the short term. He maintained that the law allows Attorney-General C. S Beck, who succeeded James H. Anderson, to hold the office only ‘‘until the next election.’’ Since Caldwell was the only one to file for the short term, he reasoned he should automatically gel the office from the time the election is certified (sometime in No vember) until January, when officials elected in the gen eral balloting take office. Petitions may be circulated for a candidate up until 60 days before the election, so it’s conceivable there may be oth ers in the short term race. Beck pooh-poohed the scheme, but 2 other statehouse attorn eys said privately they believ ed Caldwell "had something." The ironical twist is that the secretary of state’s office will seek an opinion from Beck, as attorney-general. These were other last-min ute filing developments: Andrew Swanson, of Polk, withdrew as a Republican can didate for governor and sought to file for the Democrat nomin- j ation for lieutenant governor. He was miffed at what he call ed the "awful way” he was brushed off at the GOP pre primary convention in Omaha. Told he could not legally switch parties without 60 days notice, he then filed as a Republican candidate for lieutenant gov ernor. Last to file was Lou Maupin, of Lincoln, who beat the clock by 2 minutes in filing for the Democratic nomination for rail way commissioner. Following is a complete list of filings: GOVERNOR Republican: A. B Walker, Lincoln; Val Peterson, Elgin (X); Ernest A Adams, Omaha. Democrat: Walter R. Raecke, Central City; Harry R. Swan son, Omaha; Frank B. Morrison, McCook; Terry Carpenter, Scottsbluff; Henry Fillman, York. LIEUTENANT GOVERNOR Republican: Charles J Warner, Waverly (X); Andrew E. Swan son, Polk. Democrat: C. S.

Val Peterson, on his re turn from the national gover nor’s conference, defended the state safety patrol, Agriculture Director Rufus Howard and As sistance Director Neil C. Van demoer against attacks hy Ter ry Carpenter, of Scottsbluff, Democratic candidate for gov ernor. Dorothy Swisshelm, for the past 4J£ years chief of the child welfare division, resigned j to take a better-paying job in Cincinnatti, O. It has long been a poorly-kept secret that she has feuded with the board of control. W Stanley Good, her assistant, was named to replace her. The legislative council’s com mittee on the state constitution j recQmmended that the 1951 ses sion submit to the voters a pro posal for calling a convention to rewrite parts of the 30-year old document. Wavne O. Reed, who finally withdrew as a candidate for re election as state superintendent of public instruction, several days after his election to the presidency of Peru State col lege, threw his support to Free man B Decker, his director of , administration.
