Ritchie Beats *High Command’
LINCOLN — Nebrakans this
week were still evaluating the
primary election results t o learn
why the winners triumphed and
where the losers stumbled.
The smashing victory of Con
gressman Carl T. Curtis of Min
den in what had been tabbed as
i close race for the six-year
term in the U. S. senate brought
probably the most “grandstand
juarterbacking.”
Curtis captured 40 percent of
the republican vote, sweeping
56 counties in every area o f t h e
state. He took three for every
two votes won by his closest op
ponent, Gov. Robert Crosby. State
Sen. Terry Carpenter of Scotts
aluff, feared by the party reg
ulars throughout the campaign,
:ame i n a poor third, trailed b y
i,x-State GOP Chairman David
Martin of Kearney, who barely
?ot off the ground.
What happend?
Like most election victories
there seemed to be a combination
3f factors.
1. Undoubtedly a leading cause
proved to be voter resentment
against Govemer Crosby because
o f his part in the state tax
assessment equalization effort of
last year. With the state board of
equaliation meeting only a few
days before election this year,
any voters who had forgotten
were given a fresh reminder of
what action at the state level
could do to their real estate taxes.
This was the calculated risk
Crosby took in running and it
did not pay off.
2. Curtis started off with a
“nest egg” of votes in the First
congressional district which he
had represented for 16 years. All
26 counties in this district stretch
ing across the southern part of
the state stayed with Curtis.
3. The support of the more
conservative faction in the Ne
braska republican party. Just
how much influence the late Sen.
Hugh Butler played cannot be
known. The help given Curtis by
the majority of Butler’s support
ers even after his death undoub
tedly aided him to victory.
Whether the defeat of Cros
by, who had support from the
pro-Eisenhower elements of
th© party, meant a repudiation
of the less conservative wing of
of the party was not clear.
That’s because Phil Weaver,
Falls City automobile dealer and a
strong Eisenhower worker,
won a convicing victory in his
first stab at public office. He
captured the First congressional
nomination on the GOP ticket,
trouncing in all 26 counties a
strong, experienced opponent, Ira
Beynon of Lincoln.
But again there was the un
doubted fact that Weaver bene
fited from other factors. Par
ticulary, he may have gained
many votes because of the pres
tige of the Weaver name, made
famous by the successful can
didate’s lather, the late Gov. A.
J. Weaver.
Two republican congressmen,
Roberl Harrison of Norfolk in
the Third district, and A. L.
Miller of Kimball in the Fourth
district, won renomination
handily.
Curtis will face Former Gov
Keith Neville of North Platte in
the general election, Weaver will
oppose Frank Morrison of Mc
Cook; Harrison will be matched
with Ernest Luther, Hooper cattle
feeder; and Miller will be paired
with Carlton Laird, Scottsbluff
attorney.
In the Second congressional
district, Republican Jackson
Chase and Democrat James Hart,
both Omahans, were running
without opposition.
A top race in the November
election will be the four-year
contest—for Senator Butler's un
expired term—between Congress
man Roman Hruska of Omaha
and James Green, Omaha demo
crat. Both were nominated by
their party central committees
after Butler’s death.
* * *
Democratic Revolt?—
One the most interesting occur- i
rences of the election was the!
capture of the democratic guber
natorial nomination by William
Ritchie, Omaha attorney. The
elderly candidate had charged
that the democratic state party
leadership was against him and
that the “high command” had run
Pat Heaton, Sidney attorney, in •
an effort to beat Ritchie.
Ritchie wasted no time after
the election in letting it be
known that he intended to have
something to say about party j
leadership. This will probably
include naming the new state
party chairman. The present
chairman, William Meier of
Minden, is the successful candi
date for the short term in the U.
S. senate. (Meier will oppose Re
publican Mrs. George S. Abel, sr.,
of Lincoln, who swept a field of
16 to win a convincing victory).
The fight will probably come
out in the open at the democratic
post-primary convention at Has
tings September 2, where party
leaders will be chosen. Ritchie
may be able to capitalize on the
smoldering resentment of many
of the more liberal elements of
the state democratic party which
feel that “the old guard” has held
the reins too closely.
* * *
'If's' on Toll Road—
A second look at the reports
on the feasibility of a toll road
in Iowa have brought out that
several “if’s” are involved.
For one thing, the two en
gineering firms which made re
ports said that a road wouldn’t be
feasible before '1959. That is, traf
fic volumes aren’t enough now
and would have to increase at
the present rate to make the road
pay.
For the first three years—1959,
1960, 1961—the road might not
make enough revenue to meet
operating costs, interest, and pay
ing off the bonds. So some state
money might be needed in an
appropriation from the legis
lature.
The Iowa engineering reports
also said that the bonds must be
sold at a rate of percent or
less. (Toll roads in eastern states
have sold at rates of 3 percent or
less.) Yet to sell them even at
that rate there may have to be
an appropriation by the legis
lature to furnish ‘‘collateral” for
the bonds.
The Iowa road is expected
to cost around $180 million for
300 miles—or $600,000 per mile.
What does this mean for Ne
braska?
If the traffic volumes won’t be
great enough until 1959 to make
a toll road pay in Iowa, it may
take even longer this much far
ther west.
If bonds must be sold at 3%
percent or less and if it takes a
legislature appropriation to make
this possible, some revision in
thinking may be necessapr in Ne
braska. The idea of setting up a
turnpike authority in Nebraska
was sold to the 1953 legislature
on the basis that “it won’t cost
the taxpayers of Nebraska a
cent.” If it is going to cost tax
money, that may be a road of a
different color.
Crowd Small at
I 7th Grimton Reunion
VENUS—Only 82 persons at
tended the Grimton reunion
Sunday. For some reason the
crowd was exceptionally small
this time. There were 29 pupils,
62 visitors and two former teach
ers. Teachers were Mrs. Elmer
Grim of Ewing and Mrs. Roy
Hansen of Page.
The usual picnic dinner and
supper were spread on the table
with a centerpiece of homegrown
flowers furnished by Mrs. Jay
LeMasters and the anniversary
cake was done by Viola Posephil,
Coffee and ice tea were furnished
by the committee and made by
Mrs. Elmer Grim.
Those coming the greatest dis
tance were from Lincoln and
Mission, S.D., and these were the
first ones to arrive.
Other Nebraska towns repre
sented were Venus, Ewing, O’
Neill, Osmond, Verdigre, Grand
Island, Royal, Orchard, Page,
Star, Creighton, Spencer and
Bassett.
The days was spent visiting,
horseshoe pitching and talking
over old times. “ It is hoped that
more people will become a little
more interested in this annual
affair and make it a little more
interesting to those who have the
work of arranging the tables and
seats,” explained Mrs. Albert
Pospichil of Venus, publicity
chairman.
