HITCHCOCK PLANS
TO FIGHT NORRIS
Democrat to Conduct vigor.
Gus Campaign on Non-Party
Versus Party Government.
BY WILLIAM HARD.

The picture puzzle of who will sup
port whom in Nebraska in the Fall
elections got another severe jolt today
when it developed that former Senator
Gilbert NJ Hitchcock, the Democratic
nominee In the Nebraska senatorial
race against Senator George w. Norris,
Republican. has rejected the expecta-
ton of numerous important Democratic
national leaders and Is determined to
make an actual vigorous fight against
Mr.. Norris and his fundamental ideas
on party or non-party government.
Il shall make an effective campaign"
declared Mr.. Hitchcock today. 81 have
consented to run in order to maintain
the Democratic party organization in
fun vigor, so that 1t would not meet
the fate of the party in Wisconsin and
Minnesota"
This announcement upsets the whole
Nebraska situation once more Local
NEBRASKA Democrats went into the Re-
publican primary in Nebraska on
August IL in large numbers in order
to vote for Mr.. Norris as a supporter
of the Democratic presidential nominee,
Alfred Emanuel Smith. in 1928 and as
the most active and valuable leader Of

seemed very small Now believe the
outcome is In doubt and the race will
be close"
Mr.. Hitchcock, who has been CLASH
fed as wet, while Mr. Norris has been
classified as a dry, added:
Prohibition is not an issue"
Thus Mr. Hitchcock, abandoning non
party issues and Inter-party maneuvers.
raises in Nebraska the only standard
not yet prominently seen there in this
senatorial campaign: The standard of
party government. This was an ex-
IRENE shock today to both parties.

the insurgent anti-adminiStration Re-
publicans In the Senate.
National Democratic managers in
many cases fell In with this policy OF
considerable part of the local Nebraska
democracy and gave their hopes to Mr..
Norris and to renewed future for him
as the administrator chief stumbling
block on the Senate floor.
They regarded Mr.. Hitchcock's en-
trance into the Democratic primary in
Nebraska as constituting only move
for. eliminating Dr.. Jennie Calfas. who
was striving for the Democratic sena-
torial nomination after having sup
ported Herbert Hoover for President IN
spite of her membership in the Demo-
cratic National Committee The idea
accordingly was to punish the Demo-
crat DR.. Calfas for voting for the Re-
publican Mr.. Hoover, while rewarding
the Republican Mr.. Norris for voting
for the Democrat Mr.. Smith.
The accompanying idea was that Mr..
Hitchcock, having defeated DR.. Calfas.
would go into virtual retirement and
for reasons of party strategy would
offer only formal resistance to Mr..
Norris, whom he has from time to time
commended In his newspaper, the
Omaha World Herald, and would will
ingly concede fightless victory to Mr..
Norris and thus the return to the
Senate of the Democratic party's chief
Republican ally.
This inter party plan has been fur
thered on the Republican side in the
reverse sense by the announced inten-
ton of numerous Nebraska regular Re-
publicans to desert Mr. Norris and vote
for Mr.. Hitchcock National Repub-
hcan leaders have dominantly fallen in
on this point with local Nebraskan reg
ular Republican sentiment.
Simeon D. Fess, chairman of the Re
publican National Committee, did, in
deed, announce that his committee
would make no distinctions between
Republican candidates, in Nebraska or
elsewhere, but this announcement has
been succeeded by plain statements at
Republican national headquarters to
the effect that the Republican National
