THE PLATTSMOUTH, NEBRASKA, SEMUWEEKLY JOURNAL PAGE EIGHT Thursday, April 3, 1952 JOURNAL It was no surprise to this writer to see the local school bond proposal defeated by a sub stantial margin at Tuesday's voting. In tact, there were more favorable voles cast than we thought possible considering the opposition and confusion over the issue, together with the large number of ballots and pro posals presented each voter. As far as this newspaper is concerned the school issue is a "dead duck" for the present. A majority of voters of the district have expressed their wishes and do not see eye-to-eye with those favoring a modernization of the Plattsmouth school system. What the outcome will be for the city and a group of local men serving the community without compensation on the school board, only the future holds the answer. Most difficult to understand from the outcome of balloting that defeated the issue was the large majority given school board members Huebner and Shellenbarger who were seeking re-election and at the same time squashing their proposal for new school construction. It seems to this writer that were a majority serious in their thinking re garding the bond issue, the two present members would never have been returned to the board. This is too much for a small town editor it calls for the services of a psychiatrist. We were most happy to see Taft carry Nebraska, and Wis consin in such a decisive man ner through the write-in meth od. This should boost him far up the ladder for consideration at the national convention to be held in Chicago. It brings America back to a true two party system something that has been lacking for the past 16 years. In our estimation voters are tired of a "me too'' attitude and desire the opportunity to make a choice when they cast a ballot. Taft, who leans consid erably to the right, will certain ly give voters that opportunity. Kefauver is giving the "Fair Dealers'" something to remem ber him by. He may never get the nomination for the presi dency, but he'll arrive at the convention with an armful of ammunition that should go a long way in dictating the future policies of the Democratic party and injecting a little honesty, integrity and consideration into national government for a change. Wherever he went, he made friends. Watching and listening to this gentleman from Tennessee gives us the impres sion of the reincarnation of Abraham Lincoln and what wouldn't America give for another dose of that ability at the present time. "We trust the Legislature will take action at their next ses sion and do something to sim plify Nebraska's primary ballots. The ballot handed the voter Tuesday was about the most atrocious piece of paper an aver age citizen had ever become connected with. It not only confused the voter in his efforts to be a good citizen by going to the polls, but heaped an unwar ranted burden on counting boards. In the smallest precincts in the county it took hours to compile totals on the balloting. Here in Plattsmouth in the Sec ond Ward of thei Second Pre cinct final tabulation of ballots was not completed until mid morning of Thursday. After an all-night session, followed by a 12-hour day, the board gave up for the night and completed the count Thursday morning. We are strong for the continu ation of the free ballot and the people's right to select their own leaders, but surely there must be a more simple way for them to make that choice. We can see no good coming from provi sions for second and third choices, or for a total of 34 candidates seeking a trip , to a convention. If the Nebraska vote goes to Kefauver and Taft, they should then be so recog nized as Nebraska's choice at the national convention. Tuesday's balloting bore out rnr Purelik's crack at Rotary Tuesday that America still en joys the two-pany sysiem, "Democrats and Write-ins."

Albert Olson, dean of city officials, was as usual, the top vote Retter. Olson, unopposed for re-election as clerk-treasurer, polled 1.235 votes, nearly 100 more than James H. Graves, un opposed candidate for police magistrate, a position he has held since being appointed in January. Vincent, a last minute write in candidate for mayor, polled 317 votes, mostly in the second ward, where he had had 201 combined.
