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.
