Nixon’s Visit *56 Starter
LINCOLN—The first stirrings
of political activity in the 1956
election campaign could be seen
this week with Vice-President
Richard Nixon scheduled to meet
with republican party leaders in
Omaha.
Althongh the vice-president
was invited to Nebraska to speak
to a convention of volunteer fire
fighters the republican leaders
used the occasion for a confab in
Omaha, assessing the party’s
strengths and weaknesses in next
year’s election.
At this point with the May, 1956
primary many months away, the
campaign looks to be fairly calm.
Particulary if President Eisen
hower runs for re-election rot
too much excitement should occur
even in the general election.
There seems to be no reason
to believe the Nebraska re
publican party will be shaken
from its 14 year dominance of
the congressional delegation and
Statehouse at Linciln.
There will be no race for the
U.S. senate and Sen. Carl Curtis
has until 1959 and Sen. Roman
Hruska until 1957.
The four congressmen are ex
pected to be reelected with little
' difficulty. There still seems to be
some question about whether
Congressman Jackson B. Chase
of Omaha will run again.
A formidable democratic can
didate for congress from the sec
end district, James Hart of Oma
ha, has now moved to New Jer
sey. Although Hart ran three
times without success, he was al
ways considered a threat. With
him gone the republicans may be
able to breathe easier in that dis
trict which includes Omaha and
five counties along the Missouri
river.
On the statehouse level the in
dications are that most of the
present office holders will seek
leelection. A possible exception is
Atty.-Gen. C. S. Beck, who re
portedly has had plans to run for
district court judge in his home
town of North Plate.
Beck’s plans may nave taken a
jolt with the filing for reelection
of Judge Issac Nisley of North
Platte. It was said that Beck’s
plans hinged on Nisley’s retire
ment.
State officials who would have
to seek reelection next year to
continue in office are Gov. Victor
Anderson, State Auditor Ray
Johnson, State Treasurer Ralph
Hill, Lieutenant Gov. Charles
Warner, Secretary of State Frank
Marsh, and State Railway Com
missioner Paul Pettygrove.

1 Anderson’s Position—
Up to a few weeks ago Gover
nor Anderson seepied to have tiie
clearest sailing possible to any
easy reflection. It is much too
early to tell now the but the
growing seriousness of the state
penal institution situation is a
cloud on his horizon.
The most comfortable reassur
ance for Governor Anderson is
that there appears to be no out
standing rival on either the re
publican o r democrat scene.
If he were in a close race,
the troubles at the state peni
tentiary and state reformatory
might hurt him. But as of this
early date a strong opponent
doesn’t seem to be in the cards.
Considerabe signif i c a n c e
however, was attached by pol
itical observers to the fact that
.Frederick Wagener, Lincoln at .
ioraey, was retained by George
Morris, ousted state reformatory
superintendent.
Morris has demanded a public
hearing by the state board of
control on why he was fired.
Under the law the board must
produce its reasons and give
Morris the hearing. However,
the board itself is the final judge
and there is no appeal from its
findings after the hearing.
* * *
Wagener Build-up—
Wagener, it will be remember
ed, ran against Anderson in the
1954 gubernatorial primary. Al
though Anderson overran him,
friends of Wagener, say he still
has ambitions for the governor’s
chair.
The forthcoming public hearing
before the board of control could
take on considerable political im
portance.
Wagener’s major handicap in
running against Anderson might
be that he is also a Lincoln man
and other areas of the state might
not like perpetuating Lincoln
control of the governorship.
Those who spot possible politi
cal ambitions on the part of Wag
ener point to a paragraph in a
statement he made at the time it
was announced he would be
counsel for Morris.
Wagener stated that Morris
“has been more right than *ny
individual having any semb
lance of authority or assumed
authority over and of our Ne
braska state institutions.”
Since Anderson has taken
authority of the state penitenti
ary during two of the riots, the
statement appeared to include
him in the broad criticism
There had been talk that the
democrats might try to take ad
vantage of the institution trou
bles. But the Wagener entrance
into the case gave indications
that it might become an intra
mural bone of contention among
the republicans themselves.

Feeder’s Woes—
Nebraska livestock feeders were
beginning to have the notion that
they were being “sold down the
river” in favor of the corn farm- J
ers. Because of the poor corn
crop this year, feeders are hav
ing trouble getting feed. Leaders
of feeders groups wondered why
some of the stored government
corn couldn’t be sold at market
prices. Howard Dogett, represent
atives of the U.S. department of
agriculture, told a special com
mittee appointed by Gov. Ander
son that this couldn’t be done.
That corn farmers wouldn’t like
it seemed to be the explanation.
Feeders felt that the fact there
are more corn farmers than feed
ers and that corn is price sup
ported while beef isn’t might
have helped turn the scales a
gainst them.
* * *
Power Dilemma—
Governor Anderson’s proposal
to have a committee of distin
guished citizens seek an answer to
the electric power controversy
got the cold shoulder from most
of Nebraska’s public power dis
tricts. Only Consumers Public
Power district expressed approv
al With a financial structure that
would obtain the best interest
rate on a bond sale and with an
eagerness to get into the power
production business, Consumers
apparently feared no such invest
igation.
O tner aisxncis, wuu
Consumers should be restricted
to power distribution only,
weren’t so warm to the idea.
n the background lurked the
possibility that the legislature
might have to be called to get
something done. This and the
threat that a state agency might
be set up to control the power
districts may be the way to drive
the warring factions into har
mony, some observers felt.
