Nebraska
Nebraska voters appear headed toward
giving Richard Nixon and the rest of the
state's Republican ticket a clean sweep in
Tuesday's election.
Nixon, who carried Nebraska by a
wider percentage spread in both 1960 and
1968 than any other state, may repeat
that same performance if the results of
recentpolls are accurate.
According to the latest poll by the
Omaha World Herald, Nixon leads his
Democratic opponent George McGovern
by 70 to 22 per cent. Eight per cent were
undecided in the poll.
McGovern's strongest showing in the
state appears to come from Lincoln
voters. He also fairs best among voters
under 30, especially students.
The state's three Republican
incumbent House members should have
little trouble getting re-elected, according
to most political observers.
Darrel Berg is trying to unseat Charles
Thone in the state's First District, Patrick
Cooney is opposing John McCollister in
the Second District, and Warren
Fitzgerald is attempting to replace Dave
Martin in the state's largely rural Third
District.
Thone and McCollister have just
completed their first term in the House.
Martin is a veteran member.
The best showing of any Democrat on
the state tacket will probably be made by
Terry Carpenter who opposes U.S.
Senator Carl Curtis for a six-year term in
the Senate.
Carpenter, who has changed party
registration sevetd tineas. Baas been
criticized by sooe (party n??i2are as-being
an opportunist. 1t appears, Ihough, that
Carpenter will put up a better Tece than
any other Democrat on the state ballot
Curtis none-ttae-less should have no
trouble defeating him.
Besides the federal races io be voted
on by Nebraskans, 26 seats in the state's
4 9-member Unicameral are to he decided.
When the Legislature meets January,
at least six of the 26 seats up for election
will be occupied by new members.
In five districts. (9th, 31st, 37th, 41st,
and 45th) there is no incumbent senator
seeking re-election. The Jfth and 31st
Districts are new districts formed by
re-aportionment.
Incumbent state senators face
opponents in 18 districts, with two
senators Eugene Mahoney of Omaha's
5th District, Richard Marvel .of Hastings
(33rd) having no opposition.
In the 7th District, Gov. Exon
appointee Blair Richendrfer faces two
opponents to complete the unexpired
term of C.W.Holmquist whoiJied shortly
after the Legislature adjourned last
spring.
The state's voters Tuesday also will
determine the out-come of U5 -proposed
state constitutional amerafemisss.
