Len Terry Carpenter of Scottsbluff declares candidacy for the Democratic nomination for lieutenant governor. He would join a slate with Governor candidate J James Exon and is seen as a strong contender due to statewide vote-getting power in 1972. Other Democrats seeking the spot include Jules Burbach Frank Lewis and Gerald T Whelan. Exon plans to pick Whelan as running mate, though the May primary will decide the pairing.

Exon Sees Stronger Bid With Carpenter Entry
Governor James Exon said Sen Terry Carpenter joining the Democratic lieutenant governor race raises chances Gerald Whelan of Hastings could win the nomination with 35 to 40 percent. Exon predicts strong general election odds and pledged support for Whelan while avoiding campaigning against Senate colleagues Burbach and Lewis. He also dismissed plans to run for the U.S. Senate in 1976, warning against betting on that outcome.
