Dewey Still Leads
In Delegate Strength
By Wide Margin
BY the Assoeiofsd Press

Harold E. Stassen, by his victory
in yesterdays Nebraska popular
ity' primary, has now won two out
of three primaries involving con-
tests for the Republican presidential
nomination.
He won in Wisconsin last week
and Gov. Dewey won a majority in
New Hampshire March 8.
Preprimary promises Of 13 Of Is
Nebraska delegates moved the Min
nesotan that much closer to over
taking Gov. Dewey in delegate
strength. Gov. Dewey's lead so far
comes primarily from New York's 80
delegates. They are unpledged, but
claimed for him.
President Truman is far out In
front in Democratic delegates.
Republicans have now chosen 400
of their 1904 national convention
delegates.
AS far as can be determined from
pledges, .semipledges and uncon-
tested claims, here's how they

 Saturday wheat closed at a new low. Tom Campbell never got his S3.50 a bushel. It looks now as though he never will. And we can not say that we are sorry.
 Nor are we going to shed many tears for the farmers who would not sell wheat last year because they wanted to hold it over to this year to save on taxes.
 They who had a right to gamble for profit now have a responsibil- ity to stand for the loss. That's our system. It's a good system-the only system that gets the grain planted, and the crop harvested and turned into bread. As it ends up, the greedy may lose, but the hungry eat.

Agriculture Secretary
Will Enter Contest
For Hutch's Seat

Secretary of Agriculture An
derson announced today he will
run for the Democratic nomina-
ton for Senator from New Mex
ico-the seat now held by Sen
ator Hatch, who has announced
he will not seek another term.
The Secretary, in a brief state
ment issued at his Office, stated
that "if President Truman is willing,
I will remain as Secretary until the
adjournment of Congress, probably
in July.
His announcement came as some
surprise in the light of his state
ment to reporters yesterday after a
cabinet meeting.
MIR. Anderson said then he had de-
cided not to leave the cabinet be-
fore Congress adjourns and added
that II may not get out at all"
The Secretary added yesterday
that whatever decision he reached
he had no plans to 60 to New
Mexico to campaign. The primary
there is in June and under his plan
