Demo Activities on Slim Side LINCOLN—Is Nebraska becom ing a one-state party? Some of the leaders of the Democratic party fear so. They point to the long years Republi cans have held the statehouse and what’s worse, they say, few Dem ocrats have filed so far for the April 1 primary. As of last weekend, only 3 per sons had filed with the secretary of state on the Democratic ticket: Mrs. Mina B. Dillingham, of Omaha, a political unknown, for governor. Samuel Freeman, of Hubbell, who collected only 3,394 votes in 1950, for First district congress man. Stanley L. Long, Grand Island druggist, who was beaten in the last election for regent of the Uni versity of Nebraska, for U. S. sen ator. * • * Reason? — What is the reason? For one thing, political-minded people will tell you, Republican R. D. Harrison’s thrashing of Fremont’s Mayor Carl Olson, in the special Third district congressional elec tion, quickly cooled off the as pirations of many Democrats who had been encouraged by the cred itable showing of Walter Raecke, the Central City lawyer, made against Gov. Val Peterson in 1950. Peterson won, about 5-4. i The Republicans succeeded in pasting a Truman label on Olson j from which he found it iimpos ! sible to become unstuck. The technique was this: State GOP Chairman Dave Martin told street corner crowds that Olson couldn’t be anything but a Truman demo crat; that if he were, he’d have no effectiveness in congress. Har rison himself, never mentioned the subject. Martin was the hatch et man and he did a superlative job. The effect is impressive. A vis itor to the statehouse last week was a man high in the Democrat ic leadership in Nebraska. His name cannot be used. “I had planned to become a can didate,” he said, ‘‘but I can’t sup port the spending policies and the corruption of the Truman admin istration, so how could I cam paign? If you stand up as an an ti-Truiman man, you’ll catch hell from both the Republicans and the down-the-line Democrats.” • • • Hope — Democrats are still hopeful they can come up with some strong candidates. Raecke has not indi cated what he will do and, in an swer to a Nebraska Press Associa tion question said, "I don’t want to set a deadline for myself." And in the First congressional district, Lincoln Demos are work ing on Attorney Clarence G. Miles I to run against Rep. Carl T. Cur tis. The Republicans won in 1950, 67,000-56,000. Miles has not yet given his answer. Meanwhile, William Ritchie, of Omaha, the former state Demo chairman, has said he may be a candidate for the U. S. senate on an anti-Truman platform. • * * Reasonable— State Superintendent of Public Instruction Freeman B. Decker says a “reasonable” redistricting program will solve a large por tion of Nebraska’s educational problems. realignment of dis tricts, he insists, “will solve our teacher shortage and to a large extent, our financial problems.” The trouble with Nebraska, the superintendent thinks, is “We have a lot of youngsters and a lot of valuation, but we have too many schools.” As a matter of fact, he says, “We don’t really have a teacher short age; just too many schools. This is illustrated by the fact that last year we had 16 school districts with one pupil each and used 16 teachers. That isn’t sound, fi nancially, educationally or social ly.” * * • Also — These were other statehouse de velopments of the week: Department heads were author ized to grant inreases of up to $10 a month for low salaried clearical workers in the capitol. Walter E. “Duke” Nolte re signed as deputy attorney general to join a Seguin, Tex., bank. Attorney-General Beck ruled that state assistance department may refuse aid to persons who have relatives in other states able to support them.
