Republican Hal Daub convincingly defeated Democrat
Richard Fellman in the battle for the 2nd congressional
seat.
Daub's victory came in his second attempt at the po
sition, the first being a losing effort in 1978 against John
Cavanaugh, who decided not to run again this year.
Daub's press secretary Linda Lovgrcn said Daub's
camp felt it was "positive." Daub stayed to the issues, and
this is what the people were looking for right now."
Daub's victory will ensure that ail three congressional
seats from Nebraska will be Republican, as he joins in
cumbants Virginia Smith and Doug Bereuter.
"Of course this will have significance," Lovgrcn said in
a phone interview. "Previously, when we had two Repub
licans and one Democrat, one or the other would cancel
each other out, and you would end up with one vote.
Now, with three Republicans, it will give us more strength
in Congress. This is for the benefit of the whole stale."
The margin of victory was wider than most expected,
particularly with polls showing f ellman closing in, but the
Tuesday midnight margin of 53 percent to 44 with (6
percent of the precincts counted was not a surprise to
the Daub campaigners.
"Since the polls came out, we stepped up our campaign
somewhat." Lovgren said.
"We improved our neighborhood caravans, our media
coverage, working at large businesses, and our youth cam
paign picked up, she said. All of these helped us over the
past 10 days to feeling we were going to win tonight."
While Daub's contingency celebrated, f ellman said in a
television interview that he felt he did all one could do in
a campaign, and was sending Daub a congratulatory tele
gram. "I have faith in the democratic system," he said. "But
you get an A with 51 percent and you flunk with 49 per
cent. Politics is a black and white game, there are no gray
spaces."
Fellman also made reference to the nationwide surge of
Republican victors, particularly those that unseated strong
Democrats like John Culver in Iowa and Birch Bayh in
Indiana.
"When you have national, local and county boards
turning inside out. I don't think I have the right to expect
to be much different," he said.
As far as personal feelings, Fellman said he intended to
go back to his law practice.
"It is like Adlai Stevenson said in 1952, when he was in
a similar situation, I'm too old to cry, and it hurts too
much to laugh. That expresses best what I feel right now."

Bud Cuca, former ASL'N president and a Sellcntin
supporter, said the two men had different strategies in the
campaign, f owler, he said, thought that problems, includ
ing those of the university, could be solved with moie
money.
Sellentin. on the other hand. Cuca said, saw the need
for more money for the university, but recognied a need
torch)! m some of I'M. 's budget policies.
At 12:34 a.m. Fowler made his appearance amidst
cheeis from campaign stall .
"I don't want to be overconfident." f owler said, bin
with 84 percent of the vote counted he had generated
5 1 .( percent of the vole.
"The other person," he said laughing, "has 4.X.4 pei
cent. I he mathematical experts say he will have to get (l
percent of the remaining precincts, and that's going to he
hard."
If Fowler didn't want to count his chickens beloie
they hatched, the biased crowd in the Hilton did not have
the same reservations. An exuberant crowd yelled lot a
speech and congratulations.
Quoting from a lecent campaign radio advertisement
Fowler said, "It felt nood, didn't it'.'"
