We are Republicans of long standing ...
Of Tricks And Lies
By WILLIAM 0. DOBLER
x
. . . but first we are Ameri
cans, and fully aware of the
responsibility this implies.
We believe that any candidate should expect
the nominal support of his party . . . hut this
is a two-way street. We feel that there is an
even more impelling responsibility on the part of
the candidate to run for office on his program
and on his record . . ,
i « t And to display In his campaign
ing the moral integrity with which he
will administer his office! 1
Governor Morrison Has had tn Independent
and honorable administration and gave to the
Republican party the opportunity and challenge
for a kind of campaign that would give to Ne
braska the beet kind of leadership.
Unfortunately, the moral principal k Being
Ignored here in Nebraska by the Republican
candidate for the high office of Governor. The
reprint of this editorial from The Linooln Star
(Sept 13, 1962) expresses best the reason why
we — and we believe thousands of other Repub
licans — should and must support Governor
Morrison for re-election.
■
Love is the foundation of the greatest
commandment of them all but what is the
greatest evil, the greatest wrong, the most
serious offense against mankind? Is it
greater to deceive a man or to lie to him?
Obviously there can be no ready-made an
swer to this because the choice would in
volve many facts that would have to be
known before an intelligent decision could
be reached. What can be said in general
is that neither thing is very commendable.
Thus, we can find no particular merit
in the case of either Gov. Frank Morrison
__________ or former Lincoln
_ Mayor Bennett S.
Letter Seeking Martin. The case, as
Funds is now well known,
11 involves a letter in
which Martin sought campaign contribu
tions for GOP candidate for governor Fred
Seaton. To many, the issue may seem like
a great deal of nonsense and perhaps it is
but it contains elements that are disturb
ing. Morrison asked Martin to come to his
office and Martin did so, without any ad
vance knowledge of why he was sum
moned.
Morrison then called in the press and
confronted Martin with the letter which
the governor said was a pack of lies and
demanded that Martin retract or deny it
It may not have been quite cricket for the
Kvernor to get Martin into a public meet
j without Martin’s knowledge. But this
little trick Is peanuts compared to the
complete dishonesty of the GOP attack In
the governor’s campaign—an attack sub
scribed to, supported by and practiced by
Seaton himself.
It was the opinion of many people
that the last race for governor produced
about as poor a GOP campaign in many
respects as might be expected to come
along In quite some time. To date, how
ever, Frea Seaton has matched the 1960
fiasco and now appears even to be surpass
ing it The episode involving Martin in
volves more complete distortion and un
adulterated dishonesty than we have seen
in a good long time.
★
Martin’s role in the thing is actually of
not too much significance. His was a form
letter and authorship of the thing was
Kbably net even known by Martin. The
er is part and parcel of the strategy
planned by Seaton and Republican State
Chairman Robert Denney. This strategy
is to link Morrison with President John F.
Kennedy but it is being done in an insid
ious way. The letter stated that Momson
was getting big sums of money from out
side Nebraska that he was being dictated
to from Washington and implied that he
was out to destroy the free enterprise
system.
All three things are absolute lies. Not
a single assertion along these lines has yet
been proven by the Republicans and can
not be proven. The amazing thing is that
a man of Seaton’s presumed caliber would
countenance this kind of political mud
slinging. The fact is that Morrison has
less, by a substantial amount, than $10,000
at this time with which to conduct a cam
paign. In this day, that isn’t a drop in the
bucket. His own party is horribly disor
ganized and divided and he can look for no
assistance there whatsoever. He has the
endorsement of labor but is no great
champion of theirs so will get precious
little, if anything, from that source. Per
sonally, be is a pauper compared to either
Seaton or Martin and if money were the
deciding factor in this race, Morrison
would be an absolute fool even to have
filed for office.
★
The GOP has tried to twist this latest
episode into an attack on the governor on
the grounds that he is destroying the
rights of individuals to engage in political
activity, that he is dragging the supposedly
impartial Resources Division of state gov
ernment into politics and that he once re
ceived fund support from a former (now
deceased) state employe.
The latter case is as well left alone
since it has been dragged without proof
through just about every court in the land
within the past two years. This newspaper
itself conducted an extensive investigation
of the subject of the late Alvin N. Scissor*
and the 1960 Morrison campaign and was
unable to unearth one piece of solid evi
dence to indict the governor.
As to individual political activity and
the Resources Division, both are the prod
ucts of GOP mud
„ _ , slinging, not the ac
More nan A tions of the governor.
Dog Fight and
" have spread tl
of distrust and dishonesty, not Morrison.
If this were just another political dog
fight, it could perhaps be overlooked. But
it is more than this. This episode involves
an integral and vital part of the GOP cam
paign. It is founded in a hotbed of irre
sponsibility and lack of integrity and the
roots were planted by Seaton and Denney.
If this is the kind of candidate that
Fred Seaton is, we do not think the people
of Nebraska want him for governor for
even a day. We believe Seaton has be
trayed the enviable record of public serv
ice that was his and that is a serious mark
of weakness on his part It is somewhat
typical of the desperate lengths to which
the GOP in Nebraska will go to win an
election—a desperation we doubt is shared
by the rank-and-file members of its party.
