The seminar is sponsored by a grant from the Robert A. Taft Institute cf Government in New York and will continue until July 1. "The (state) Republican party is in a shambles," Tiemann said in a panel discussion Tuesday that included Democratic and Republican national committeemen from Nebraska. . . ,' ; Even though the Republican party is the majority party in Nebraska, Tiemann said, "it continually loses important elections." And while the Republicans are on the decline, the Democratic party is coming forward, he said. "The Democrats have eutmanned, outfought and out gunned the Republican party" in recent elections, .Tiemann said. During a Monday press conference TiemamVs forecasts for the state G.O.P. were just as bleak. Tiemann said he "didn't see anybody on the horizon" who could run a successful campaign for the senate in IS73 against Nebraska governor J. J&sses Exon.
