Capitol Newt . . , Senator Butler , ° Formally Files LINCOLN — The death last week of Sen. Kenneth S. Wherry has thrown the already muddled Nebraska political picture into a near riot. At week’s end, Governor Peter son was still declining to discuss a possible appointee. The capitol corridors overflowed with rumors of deals within deals within deals. Out of the whole maze, only 3one thing appeared eve$ close to certain—and thei^ were some skeptics even there—£hat Peter son himself is not likely to re sign so Lt.-Gov. Charles Warner could become governor and ap point Peterson to the Wherry va cancy. ° The governor told reporters there was no change fTom the statement he made when de clining the so-called "draft" in the Third District to succeed the late Rep. Karl Stefan. Then, he said: ‘‘If you want to ask me wheth er I would resign so Charley could appoint me to the senate in case of a vacancy there, the an swer is no. I’m going to serve my term as governor.” That would appear to be flat enough, but the skeptics recall that Peterson himself thought he was "boxed” by the party in the third district vacancy.. Ke ap peared convinced: he would have to become the GOP candidate to succeed Stefan. “Swedes are unpredictable,” somebody said at that time and how right that waj! That’s why some people—including this re porter—are not willing to bet that Peterson is completely out of the running. Swedes are unpredictable. o Closed Incident— The charges of Joseph Nekuda, a discharged state motor fuels in spector, that he was asked to campaign for Governor Peter son in a state car and at state ex pense, hav£> been dismissed by the governor as a “closed inci dent.” But State Sen. Hugh Carson, of Ord, a candidate for the GOP gubernatorial nomination yel led, “Whitewash!” Carson, who appears to be campaigning against Peterson, rather than Mayor Anderson and North Platte’s Robert B. Cr<^by, said Peterson’s remarks were of the same kind that “whitewashed the investigation of the whole sale liquor industry” which he forced during the la^ legislaure. Peterson’s remarks followed publication of a letter from Ne kuda’s former boss. Agriculture Director Rufus Howard, which said the discharged employee was guilty of “the most outstanding example ofcniisconduct” in mak ing unauthorized trips as a state inspector. Employees are cautioned not to campaign on state time, How ard said, “but it is understand able in the heat of a campaign, employees do not always adhere to this rule.’ • • • 0 Sen. Hugh Butler filed Tues day for the nomination as repub lican candidate for United States senator from Nebraska. o His filing came as no surprise; he had announced in a dispatch from Washington several weeks ago that he would seek reelection. Following is a statement issued by the senator: I have given serious consider ation to the matter of filing for reelection to the United States senate. The life of a senator js not all honor and glory, but rather hard work, sweat, tpil and many times, disappointment. For the past 11 years I have devoted all my energy and thought tp the problems and welfare of tne peo ple of Nebraska and the nation 1 believe that thp principles oi the republican party must be at tained if this nation and the lib erties of our people are, to lx preserved. These are crucial times. We cannot afford to fumhle-rwe can not afford to err. We dare not risk inexperience. The laues ir the forthcoming presidential elec % K ion promise to be the greatest and most momentous in our his tory. Judging from the attitude of the people all over the country a change in the administration is essential. A republican victory in the presidential campaign is al most a certainty. For the first time in many years the republican party will be entrusted by the people with planning and pytting into effect a program which wifi once again bring peace with pros pertiy. Because of this new challenge I feel obligated to play a part in the shaping of the future destiny of this nation. My experience ov er the past 11 years will be of great value. The people of this state are entitled to that exper ience. Because of my term of ser vice, my seniority in the senate is a matter of consequence. At present I am the third ranking republican member of the all im portant finance committee which handles all legislation on taxa tion; I am the ranking republican member of the committee on in terior and insular affairs, the committee which deals wijh all legislation affecting conservation, irrigation, and flood control; and I am the chairman of the stra tegically important republican committe on committees. Repub lican victory would assure the people of Nebraska the chaionan ship of the committee on interior and insular affairs. °lt was this committee that act ed favorably on a bill which I with others introduced in 1944 putting the Pick-Sloane plan into opera' o i. o _ oO Mrs. Determan Hostess— Mrs. Frank Determan was host ess to an extension club on Thurs day, November 29.
