Size of Vote
Question Mark
Candidates in Final
Stretch
LINCOLN The stage is set for
Nebraska's November 4 election,
: but candidates are working to the
last day.
A question mark in the balloting
i will be the size of the vote, not
j expected to be a record because
this is a non-presidential year,
j and whether farmers will swing
to the Democratic side.
There are bumper crops and
j some concern about what to do
with them but no definite indica
tions if farmers plan to sit tight
j or try a change.
Nebraska Republicans are con
fident of a sweep in all offices, but
concede they are mnning
i "scared.”
Democrats predict a victory
I and point to the caliber of their
candidates.
Campaigning is at a fever pitch
this week, one that many politi
cians believe is a crucial period
because the voters who haven't
made up their mind often do so a
day or so before election.
TheVe was more than the nor
mal amount of verbiage this elec
tion year from both the Republi
can and Democratic parties,
mostly because of new spirit with
in the state Democratic organiza
tion.
But looming as a big obstacle
is the finely-organized GOP in
Nebraska, and a lack of money on
the part of Democratic candi
dates.
Primary election vote totals tell
the difficult problem the demo
cratic party is facing. They show
a total GOP ballot of 126.450 com
pared with 79,683 for the opposing
party.

! Healing Arts—
A legislative council study
committee has no goal of a radi
cal program of legislation in the
field of the healing arts.
Its chairman, State Sen. Donald
McGinley of Ogallala, said the
goal of his committee is one of
‘‘mutual understanding” between
osteopaths and physicians.
Said the chairman: “We hope
we can recommend to the legis
lature a course of action that will
be helpful to doctors of medicine
and doctors of osteopathy to
smooth out some of the differen
ces that they seem to have and
which show up before the Legis
lature every two years in some
form.” , ,
McGinley said Kansas has sol
ved the problem by a composite
examination board which gives
the same licensing to both groups.
* * *
Normal Schools—
Gov. Victor Anderson says he
favors an increase in the budgets
of the four state teachers colleges
to provide higher pay for instruc
tors.
The colleges are at Wayne,
Chadron, Peru, and Kearney.
"We must pay adequate salar
ies in order to have first class
schools,” the governor comment
ed, “ because after all, the most
important factor to a good school
is good instructors.”
Governor Anderson already has
gone on record for higher salar
ies for University of Nebraska
staff members.
* * *
Carpenter Hearings—
Sen. Terry Carpenter’s probe
into tax law violations and his
crusade against Governor victor
Anderson is winding up in Doug
las county.
Carpenter says he is amazed at
the "realism” in the returns from
Douglas county businesses. He
also praised County Assessor
Joseph Stolinski for “preventing”
unfavorable situations found in
other countries.
Early hearings in Douglas, Car
penter noted, showed none of the
conditions he had expected would
exist.
Welfare Budget—
One of the big spending agen
cies in state government has an
ounced its request for funds for
1959-61.
The division of public welfare
asks for $41,781,600 total budget
for the next two years. This is
up $2.5 million from the current
1957-59 period.
Frank Woods, division director,
j said the request for state money
from the property-tax supported
general fund is down $13 million
with the total asking $14,198.WO.
A federal hike in assistance al
lotments is responsible for the
$3,8 million increase in federal
funds sought, making the total
federal fund asking $27,554,600.
The request goes to the board
of control which has a dual role
as the State Welfare Board, then
to Governor Anderson.
Governor Anderson will hold
budget hearings and make recom
endations to the next Legislature
after which a budget committee,
composed of state senators, holds
hearings and makes its recom
mendations.
Final appropriation is decided
by the entire legislature. All
federal funds that would auto
matically come to a department
must first be approved by the
state.
• • •
Signs Must tio—
There should bo no political
signs along right-of-way of state
highways, Governor Anderson has
said.
The governor requested the
state chairman of the Republican
and Democratic parties to cooper
ate in asking their workers to re
move "illegally posted" signs.
There has lx>en criticism in re
cent weeks about signs being post
ed along highways and on public
property throughout the state.

in their coffins. d-CON actually
makes rats commit suicide.
