Candidates running for the US. Senate, Public Service
Commission, the Nebraska Legislature and the County
Board spoke in the band shell of Antelope Park Sunday
afternoon at a political rally sponsored by the Lincoln
Lancaster Lecue of Women Voters.
Ed Zorinsky, Omaha mayor and Democratic candidate
for the Senate, said the rally's small attendance reflected
the idea that the world is watching America while
America watches television.
Tin concerned about people expecting the federal
government to do things for them. This nation was built
on the principle of people doing things for people, not the
bureaucracy doing it for them," Zorinksy said.
Zorinsky said people should take responsibility upon
themselves instead of letting the federal government make
cumbersome decisions at a local leveL

Rep. John Y. McCoUister, Zorinsky's opponent, said he
will seek to represent every portion of Nebraska, fie said
he has a background in small business and agriculture,
which he called main state interests.
- Rep. Charles Thone said he has the hardworking,
honest characteristics he believes voters want their
congressmen to have.
Thone said he supports education. "It's the area that
will return not only dollars, but put quality into life."
Thone's opponent, Pauline Anderson, said she is a
Democrat who wants to see an end to the monopoly Ne
braska representatives hold in Washington.

Anderson said some senators and representatives are '
sending out news releases in newspaper form with preset
type. She reported finding seven Nebraska county papers
running the same news release.
Anderson said Thone has denied any such releases have
come from his office, but she demanded an explanation of
them. -
She criticized politfcans who would use their influence
this way and also criticized editors who would accept the
material for use.

myth that State Sen. Steve Fowler, his Democratic
opponent, supports open government and is appalled by
big money on legislative processes. '
Stenburg said Fowler accepted large contributions, of
more than $100 and has only listed those contributions
which the law requires.
Stenburg suggested that Fowler not accept such funds
if he is interested in the influence of big money upon
senators.
Steve Fowler said he has accepted a $750 contribution
from the state educational association. He said his list of
supporters haven't been tied to any special interests.
Fowler said the educational association supported him
because he supports education. However, Fowler said
Stenburg is tied to special interests.
"The reason they are backing hini is because they
haven't had me in their hip pockets the last four years,"
Fowler ssii. .

The presidential debates Thursday night
took a back seat to four Nebraska congress
ional candidates own campaign.
The two democratic candidates missed
most of the debate because they were at a
fund-raising dinner in Fremont. The two
Republican candidates saw the debate and
said they thought Ford scored a slight
victory.
Rep. Charles Thone in the First District,
watched the debate from his Arlington,
Va., home.
"Ford showed stength in the area of
fiscal responsibility and dramatized that
Carter is fuzzy and impractical on the
issues," Thone said, adding, "Carter hand
les himself well; he was not wiped out."
Thone cited Ford's comparison of
Carter's veto record as governor and the
records of several Democratic presidents
against Ford's own veto record. Thone sdi
Carter's veto charges "obviously don't hold
water." "
- Democrat Pauline Anderson, who is run
ning in the First District against Thone,
missed most of the first presidential debate
because she was at a Democratic fund
raiser in Fremont.
"I only saw the two three-minute clos
ing speeches," Anderson said. "I'm still
satisfied that we have the best candidate
for president.
"After the long pause, Gov. Carter was
able to start from right where he left off.
But Mr. Ford seemed to be clumsy.
"Mr. Carter has more to gain from the
debate than Mr. Ford. From what I've read
it seems' the incumbent doesn't come
across very well." .
Anderson said she thinks the debates
offer the candidates a forum for their
views, but added that she doesn't expect
anything new from them.
