Dyas reviews election results By Chuck Beck Charles Thone won his third term to the First District congressional seat for two reasons, his opponent, Hess Dyas said Monday. Dyas, speaking to about 35 people in Neihardt Residential Center, said Thone won because the campaign lacked sharp issues and because Thone was reluctant to debate him. Thone, a Republican, would not debate the Omaha Democrat during a Dyas-sponsored television debate. Dyas said he answered questions that were phoned to him during the broadcast tafter Thone did not appear for the debate. ' ' ' . Debate didn't hurt' "Debate sometimes gives incumbent candidates trouble, but it didn't seem to hurt candidates in other races," he said. Dyas said his views on increased health care, monopoly dissolution and publicly financed Congressional campaigns could have been better publicized in a debate with Thone. In a poll taken by Dyas-hired consultants, 75 per cent of the respond ents said they did not know who Thone was, while 59 per cent said they did not know who Dyas was, Dyas said. "The technical part of the campaign was to manipulate people and take advantage of their apathy," Dyas' campaign manager Dick Kurtenbach said. Rural support Kurtenbach said Dyas won unexpec ted support in some rural areas of the First District, especially from Beatrice and Jefferson County. Dyas said his campaign was limited because he could only reach a certain amount of people through the press, television and radio advertisements, mailings and personal appearances. He said he spent $125,000 to reach 370,000 registered voters in his district. His hike through the District before the election helped him to gain some support, he said. Dyas said he helped a farmer to combine a field at one point in the campaign. "Personal contact with the farmer was important because I could discuss issues that mattered to him concerning his own territory," Dyas said. Dyas said, however, "Wo didn't get the message icross that Thone wasn't doing anythi'ng other than public relations." Thone's mailing Dyas said Thone did not distinguish between business and personal mail that was sent from the Congressman's office during the campaign. Congress men are allowed to send business related mail to their constituents, but must terminate the mailings 28 days before an election, Dyas said. "People may or may not have been impressed with Thone after receiving mailings from him, "Dyas said. He ran for office because he wanted to see a Democrat in the Nebraskan Congressional delegation, he said. He added that Nebraska is the only state without a Democrat in Congress. "Democrats are too damn used losing in this state," Dyas said. to Speaking of his political plans, Dyas said he did not want to publicly announce his 1976 candidacy for Con gress yet, but he said he would "be surprised if he didn't run again." Dyas also said he was not interested in running for Senate in 1976. "One of the Best Movies of 1974: mm BED & -Gn Shalil. NBC-TV 6 mum Mrvwn, , A FILM BY PAUL MAZb'KSKY f 'Hi "HARRY&TONTO"-.
