Howell Leads Nebraska Primary Race for Senate Nomination
In Omaha on July 19 R. B. Howell appears to have won the Republican primary, signaling a broader progressive gain against the old guard. Howell, a three time Republican National Committeeman, supports a forward looking platform with progressive principles and opposes Harding's ship subsidy, favoring a government merchant marine and a farm bloc. His chief rival Jefferies positions as conservative, citing Mondell guidance, and notes he would have faced a straight Democrats versus old line Republicans race in November. Political experts say Howell’s victory would bring the progressive element into national campaigns.
