The Omaha Guide thinks it was
due to the leadership of the Hon
cradle Senator Kenneth S. Wherry
Chairman of the Republican State
Central Committee, and the close
cooperation he got from those who
had complicit confidence in his alb
ility to do the job and the ever
ready office crews who so willing
ly served him. 1t is true that Ne
braska voters are an Independent
set of voters. They, as a rule,
pick the man they think can do
the job they want done, and Sen
ator Kenneth Wherry is an adm
tilted go-getter-a hard, honest. en-
thusiastic worker. He put his can
didates on the political stump at
least six times during the camp
aign, and after he had given them
that red7hot introduction he let
them tell their own story in their
own way. Then he would come

and a hand they would get be-
cause the public in general could
discern in Mr.. Wherry's heart
through the eye, that deep-seated
Republican democracy, and they
could tell from his talk there was
bigger job than just electing an
other man to an office. He made
his audience feel that the only
way to preserve this great Amer
lean democracy was to elect the
man he had brought before then
and believe it or not. from the
looks of things the day after ell

took his advice. The Nebrasx;
