Nebraska's 1974 primary clears as Hastings attorney Gerald T. Whelan announces for lieutenant governor. Gov James Exon backs Whelan as his preferred running mate. State Sen Frank Lewis switches to Democrat for the post. Exon notes Democratic voters choose ultimately.

Christmas Observed Quietly in Nebraska’s Early Fort Years
The first official Christmas recognition in Nebraska occurred at Cantonment Council Bluffs in 1820, with a brigade order from Colonel T. Chambers allowing rest and amusement but warning against impropriety. A garrison court martial later punished a soldier for un soldierly conduct and whiskey rations. For four decades, Christmas celebrations were scarcely recorded as settlers focused on survival and defense against attacks.
