r. l.. Cochran, Democratic candidate
for Governor, continues his campaign
for the chief exscutiveship of the
state with the same vigor he has
shown all through his public life.
Where ever he appears hundreds Of
new friends rush to him as their ideal
Of the ma they want to administer
their executive affairs an Governor
and from State headquarters ONE
word that the Cochran for Govern
or" memberships have swanped the
staff of clerks in charge Of their
andling.
Out over the etate Mr.. Cochran has
been making a great effort to "smoke
OUT" his opponent, Mr.. Griswold-
Lots OF time has been spent by the op-
poasnt in an effort to- attack Mr..
C~ochran's career as state engineer, and
in that capacity directly responsible
for the wonderful paidfor highway
system that covers Nebraska today
While his opponent continues his
/ hammering at what he thinks is a
flaw or two, it has been directly de-
clared by Mr.. Cochran that it was this
same man, Griswold, now the repub-
lcan candidate for Governor, who, as
.lenator, or representative several
times gave Mr.. Cochran a clear bill
Of health SO far as his administra-
ton and personal work was concern
cd. These came through reports to
legislatures of which Griswold was a
member, and in some instances chair
man of the committee5 that highly
commended the work Of Mr.. Cochran
as state engineer.
The fight centered last week around
the west part of the state and gradu-
ally Mr.. Cochran is nearing the cen
trail and eastern sections with the
plan in mind, that he will keep bat
thing right on through until the day
of election, November 6.
Editorially from all sections of the
state and in papers, Republican, De-
mocratic and independent have APP
peared criticism Of Mr.. Grfstwold's at
tecl on the Cochran record. The trend
OF these comments is Mr.. Cochran
good enough to be commented by Mr..
Griswold IS a legislator, but new
that they are rivals in a political cam
paign, there is fault to find.
Without an idle moment of his
working day and night, Edward R.
Burke, termed by his friends, Burke
the Builder" continues his march back
and forth acros1 Nebraska n his CAM
paign for U. S. Senator.
Addressing a meeting on an aver
age Of s times daily, usually includ-
ing a big rally at some larer center
each evening, Mr.. Burke still finds
time to make his ringing radio adj
dresses that have brought much favor
able comment from his supporters and
thdae who would appear neutral in
politics.
THE joint debates, ten 0 f which
were scheduled, between Mr.. Burke
~upholding staunchly the adlninistra-
ton and the New Deal, and his op-
ponent Robert Simmons, Republican,
who attempts to tear down the admi-
nittration program, are creating much
interest where ever held. Mr.. Burke
gains favorably before each of the
audiences and his appearances on the
platform on each occasion serves as
a cause for long, loud applause.
AS was the case in the primary cam
paign, Mr.. Burke continues to stand
up under the strain of the campaign
refused to back another, Bob Sim
too busy after a long talk to visit
with his hosts of friends who seek
him out that they may shake his
hand and offer a word of encourageme
ment.
Much favorable comment on Mr..
Burke's defense of the New Deal
pours into State Headquarters after
each of the debates. One man took
occasion to remark in a letter that he
travelled rs miles especially to hear a
constructive argument on the issues
at stake and was more than ratified
by the remarkable presentation made
by Mr.. Burke. He added that he was.
a Republican, but a supporter Of
Burke after he heard the debate.
Dwight Griswold, Republican can
didate for Governor, in press state
ments last week admitted that he had
made some 'honest errors" during
his career in the legislature but cali
ed attention in the same statement to
the vote he received in his home dis
