Potucek backs Anderson as election campaign begins

State Senator John Potucek of Wellington praised Anderson and offered a rabbit's foot, saying those who start a campaign on Friday the 13th must be fearless. Anderson, a first term representative, blasted Gov. Frank Carlson's administration as totalitarian and attacked the liquor control bill. He criticized state election institutions, housing conditions, and a 50 year old financial system with millions lost to leakage. He supported severance tax on gas, repeal of the state property tax, and received a $500 campaign fund gift from McPherson Anderson for Governor club chair Rozelia Switzer. Anderson, a Navy veteran, owns land across Lyon Morris and Chase counties, plus businesses including an oil agency, grain elevators, alfalfa mills, a grocery, and a produce house.
