Best Demo In State Claims by Nebraska Senator
The New York Times quoted state senator Terry Carpent er of Scottsbluff saying he is probably the best Democrat in Nebraska. The Times noted his plan to nominate New York Gov. Rockefeller for president and described Carpentier as a longtime Democrat who switched parties in 1952 to pursue opportunity in the GOP stronghold. He backs a state minimum wage, a fair employment practices commission, and other measures he says the Republicans have kept off the statutes. He switched parties seeking greater achievement in the party dominant in Nebraska.
