Publisher Enters Race
 For NOrris's Senate Seat

OMAHA, Neb., July 10.-Entrance of Gilbert M. Hitchcock into the race for the Nebraska Senate seat held by George w Norris, sets the stage for what may be one of the most spectacular battles of the 1930 campaigns.
 Hitchcock, publisher of the Oma- ha World Herald, is the only Dem ocratic Senator ever elected from Nebraska for more than one term. He served from 1910 to 1922. During the war he was chairman of the Foreign Relations Committee of the Senate under President Will son, and his defeat in 1922 was generally credited to his support of the Treaty of Versailles. He went to the Senate in 1910 from the House of Representatives, with a toga tradition. His father, Phineas Hitchcock, an early Ne braska pioneer, once was Repub- lican Senator from Nebraska. After graduating from the law college of Michigan University in the early eighties, and spending some time in study in Germany. Hitchcock decided to become a newspaper man. q. He established the Omaha World xxy;tH h a Omaha Herald in 1889 creating the World Herald, which he still owns and publishes.
 Leaving the family political tra- dition of Republicanism, he became Democrat and fought the early battles of '16 to l" with William Jennings Bryan, then a young Ne braska lawyer.
