Harris addresses rally in Lincoln

Former Oklahoma Senator Fred Harris spoke at the Lincoln Capitol Rotunda saying his Democratic presidential bid rests on two assumptions: citizens can govern themselves and power should diffuse widely. He praised campaign finance matching and warned government should help ordinary people, not the very rich. Harris, on a Washington to Nebraska camper tour, touted organization and support in 28 states, including Nebraska with its open primary, and urged turnout on issues like gasoline prices and farm policy. He also criticized agriculture secretary and grain rules, advocated Russia buy-notice reforms, and outlined plans to press neighbors in North Platte, Grand Island, Scottsbluff, Chadron.
