Lincoln Hotel, Lincoln, Nebraska R. L. Cochran, Democratic candidate for Governor, continues his campaign for the chief ex^cutiveship of the state with the same vigor he has shown all through his public life. fWhere ever he appears hundreds of new friends rush to nim as their ideal of the man they want to administer their executive affairs an Governor and from State headquarters comes word that the “Cochran for Govern or” memberships have swanped the staff of cl'-rks in -charge of their andling. Out over the rtate Mr. Cochran has been making a great effort to “smoke out”' his opponent, Mr- Griswold Lots of time has been spent by the op f -’.ant in an effort ta attack Mr. Cochran’s career as "date engineer, and 'in that capacity directly responsible for the wonderful' paid-for highway system that covers Nebraska today While ht' opponent continues his hammering at what he thinks is a flaw or tv»o, it has been directly de clared by Mr. Cochran that it was this same man, Griswold, now the repub lican candidate for Governor, who, as • .enator, or representative several times gave Mr- Cochran a clear bill of health so far as his administra tion and personal work was concern ed- These came through reports to legislatures of which Griswold was a member, and in some instances chair man of the committeeo that highly commended the work of 'Mr. Cochran as state engineer 1 he fight centered Mst week arouqd the west part of the state and gradu ally Mr- Cochran is nearing the cen tral and eastern section;'- with the plan in mind, that he will keep bat tling right on through until the day of election, November 6. Editorially from all sections of the 1 state and in papers, Republican, De mocratic and independent have ap peared criticism of Mr. Gri-.lwold’s at t- ck on the Cochran record. The trend of these comments is Mr. Cochran good enough to be commented by Mr : Griswold 3s a legislator, but n*w that they are rivals in a political cam paign, there is fault to find Without an idle moment of his working day and night, Edward R. i Burke, termed by his friends, “Burke the Builder” continues his march back and forth acros.1 Nebraska n his cam | paign for U. S- Senator Addressing a meetng on an aver age of 8 times daily, usually includ ing a big rally at some larer center each evening, Mr. Burke still finds time to make his ringing radio ad ' dresses that have brought much favor able comment from his supporters anil tlui^Q who would appear neutral in politics. 'The joint debates, ten 0 f which were scheduled, between Mr- Burke upholding staunchly the administra tion and the New Deal, and his op ponent Robert Simmons, Republican, who attempts to tear down the admi nistration program, are creating much interest where ever held. Mr. Burke gains favorably before each of the audiences and his appearances on the platform on each occasion serves as a cause for long, loud applause. As was the case in the primary cam paign, Mr. Burke continues to stand up ur^der the strain of the campaign refused to back another, Bob Sifn too busy after a long talk to visit with his hosts of friends who seek him out that they may shake his hand and offer a wrord of encourageme ment. Much favorable comment on Mr Burke’s defense of the New Deal pours into State Headquarters after each of the debates. One man took occasion to remark in a letter that he traveled 75 miles especially to hear a constructive argument on the issues at stake and was more than ratified by the remarkable presentation made by Mr- Burke. He added that he was a Republican, but a supporter of Burke after he heard the debate. Dwight Griswold, Republican can didate for Governor, in press state ments last week admitted that he had made som,e “honest errors” during his career in the legislature but call ed attention in the same statement to the vote he recieved in his home d:s rict as a candidate for state senator in 1924, 1926 and 1928- Commenting on this press story, Robert Flory, sec retary of the Democratic State Com mittee, called attention to the fact that much of Mr. Griswold’s reaction ary legislative record occurred in the 1928 sdasion and none of it was real ly made pubic until he became a can didate for governor in 1932 and in view of Mr- Griswold’s reference to the vote given him in his home dis trict in earlier years it is interesting to note the vote which he received in thaie same counties as a candidate for governor in 1932, after his record was exposed Flory called attention to a tabula tion taken from the official vote ab stract of 1932, which reported the following: Bryan Griswold Box Butte 2746 1721 Cherry 2447 2160 Dawes l 2078 2432 Sheridan 2662 2093 Sioux 873 808 10806 9214 “It is easy to see that Mr- Griswold failed to carry his home county and carried but one county in his home senatorial district and that bya small margin,” Mr- Flory said. “The people apparently had had time to consider and digest Mr. Gris wold’s record,” Flory added Elimination of the “party circle” 'bv the legislature, an act upheld re cently by the state supreme court in a test case brings about a situation new to many Nebraska voters. These who formerly desired to vote the straight ticket did so by mark ing a cross in the party circle. Un ler the new order, it now is necessary to vote for qach Individual candS date. Democratic State Headquarters has' beer, conducting a campaign of edu-i elation in connection with the new or der of votng. <~t te advising voters who desire to vote for Democratic party men and women to “mark a ci-oss in the top square of each group of candidates.. This slogan, adopted in the inter est!* of supporting the New Deal has been seized by political workers for the party througout the state, and is finding much favor. The Democratic candidates on the ballot occupy the top position in each set of offices to be voted upon. “Mark a Cross in the top square of each group of candidate assures a vote for men pledged to support F D. Roosevelt in his fight for the peo ple. • Secretary of State Harry Swanson’s office at the srtate capitol is trying to solve the mystery of what became of Gov. "Weaver’s vote messages dur; ing the 1929 season of the state legis lature. Gov. Weaver, according to bis own files, vetoed 25 measures, but alT veto message* but 10 are missing. The 15 mising ones are bills that Dwight ‘ ' Griwold, republican candi date for governor, voted for and among them is the one introduced by Giiswold that Would have virtually killed the primary law and sent nomi nation procedure back to the conven ton rtystenv Griswold was in the sen ate and voted to override the veto But the house sustained it 66 to 31 and tire primary law was saved. In checking over Griswold’s legisla tive record, I. W- Jacoby former legislator from' Lancaster county, found only 10 veto messages bound and no evidence to support that the .others had ever been placed in the files- r l-ank Marsh, present republi can candiate for Secretary of State, was tagen in that office- Jacoby wroti Weaver, who came to Lincoln, with qopie of hi f veto messages but the two were still unable to find trace of the missing 15 Tho binding on the cover of the veto melfages is much thinner than the one used for leslf vetoes by other governors than the 24 of Weavers The binding also shows frhat no sheets have been torn out.

Han'y Flehearty, a prominent Omaha attorney, now con nected with the Federal Government at Washington is being scheduled for several addre^es. Senator W- E- Burkley of Kentuc ky, probably one of the be. t known orators in the country, and the man who had much to do with the nomi nation of Mr- Roosevelt at Chicago in 1932 is scheduled for several address * es. Frank Murphy, regional director of the PWA, with headquarters at Min neapolis. will make one address at Omaha, the date not yet decided Congressman Patterson of Tennes see will speak at Seward at a date not yet announced A Republican candidate this week mons, in hla charge that the New Deal was fundamentally wrong- £n an address in the western part of the state, A- N. Mathers, candidate for the U- S- House of Representatives stated that he would not condemn all parts of the New Deal merely because! it was of democratic origin- He stat-1 cd, according to a press dispatch, that parts of it need to be altered but that many others were a good thing for the country. Those who have followed the Burke Simmons debate recall that Simmons trUq been vitriolic in his attacks on the New Deal while Congressman Ed Burke, democratic candidate for U- S Senator, has been equally as strong in his contention that the New Deal should bo retained in itto major ob jectives.

H. Schellberg, Precedent, announc ed this week “We were compelled through lack of finances,” Schellberg said, “to limit our annual show last year to 4-H Club and car lot competition and the same holds true again this |vear- It was found imfifesible to raise sufficient funds to continue the competition in the open breed classes whch meant so much to all fanners and cattle racers. “However, if the racing amendment is approved bv the people the neces sary money will be available to revive this important feature of the annual show with the result that additional thousands of dollars in prizes will be diptrbuted to winner^ in this classifi cation.” Schellberg/said that reports he had received from many sections of the state indicated that farmers and stock raisers are particularly interested in the return of legalized racing because of the impetus it would give to their business along with horse-breeding. The fact that Ak-Sar-Ben proposes to share its receipts with all of the county fair in the state shows that direct aid would go to every section, Schellberg said. I ANOTHER DAY BY SCOTT . ; The other morning when I got up 2 stubbed: ml/ toe- While I'was dress ing my collar button rolled accross the floor nnd into the register I was late getting started for wirk and I reached the street car line just in time to see my car ^bde past me. All day long everythink went wrong- Per haps the fact that it was raining and the day was so dark and dreary had something to do with it. When I reached home at night I was exhaust ed mentally and physically. Life looked about as drab and colorless as the clouds that scuttled across the f,ky- I felt completely beaten. When I fell asleep I dreaded the dawn of another day. But when 2 awoke it was to the singing of the birds. Sunlight was flooding my room- The air was clear and bracing. I rolled out of bed, whisteled while I drei sed, ate my breakfast1 in a leisurely fashion and while I was waiting for the street car one of my friends case along in his auto, picked me up and took me to work The dull monotony of the day before was forgotten. My work was a real pleasure and when the day was over 2 was looking forward eagerly to the dawn of another tommorrow equally as satisfying jWe all have them—our off days-— “when everything goes dead wrong” But I wonder if they don’t help to emphasize the ones that follow when tse sun shindi and life is filled with intense interest. After all wouldn’t things become sort of monotonous if t weren’t for these breaks* that help us to appreciate the more the bright days that fill “the even tenor of our lives: Liife is like an exquisite painting. We need the shadows to bring out the high lighab At timeU we are weary and every thing seems so futile. We have to admit defeat and yet if we keep our hand steadily on the wheel we will round the curve that will bring us cut on a new road that ultimately will lead to success. No matter how life may --.erve us there*is always one sure refuge to which we may turn and that is the realization that “the best things in life are free.” No matter how lonely or bow poor we may Be, we hold within ourselves so near at hand. We have only to live one day at a time- It is the looking ahead that cr.usdl so many to despair. So often we underrate the happiness of the moment for fear ocf the future. All of this is a# unnecessary for one of the most merciful things about our existence & that everything changes. The thing about which we worry and fret today may be entirely changed by a stroke of fate on the morrow. And no matter what affiliction may overtake us we will find much in our altered condition that will bring sa-t isfaction and contentment. There is no much of beauty in the every day things of life about us; the changing color of the trees* the flight of the birds as they wing their way southward for the winter, the lovli ness of the latars at night- They are all ours. When the days are dark and de pressing ti*y to remember that there’s another day ahead—another day so satisfying that it will cause us to for get the trials that now confront us.
