oi Elections Pep
B
oys, Girls State
Keeping in line with the torrid
Lincoln weather, Boys and Girls
Staters refuse to let anything
cool off. They conduct their own
hot election campaigns.
Boy Staters ended their cam
paigning with the election of Bill
Burke, Omaha, as governor of
1950 Cornhusker Boys State. He
is the first Omaha junior ever to
receive the post. The defeated
governor is Ken Philbrick of
Grand Island.
The new governor, with an
Irish tenor voice, attributes his
victory to hard work on the part
of his managers, headed by Tom
Toyer, Omaha.
The lad has sung roles in
Omaha Central operettas. Party
managers slipped him into a sur
prise spot on the Monday night
show and thus got an early jump
on the Federalists by introducing
their candidate at the big assem
bly. Platform
Burke's platform called for a
dance with Girls State which
has been scheduled for Friday
afternoon at the Union ballroom.
He also promised to work for
'better farm-to-market roads
and lower gas taxes."
Philbrick had but one plank in
his platform "better govern
ment." "I just plan to go around
and shake some hands," he said.
Following the announcement of
the results he continued: "I guess
1 didn't shake enough of them."
His manager was Ronald Dade
of Lincoln.
Herb Meissner, Omaha, was
named chief justice, the No. 2
plum on the Boys' State tree. He
defeated Jim Matzke. .
4 Victories
John Carr, Omaha, was elected
state superintendent. Governor
Burke led the Nationalists to vic
tory in four state offices.
Bob Peterson, Fremont, was
chosen lieutenant governor;
Robert Hill. Odell, state treas
urer; and Bert Linn, Kimball,
Carl Weber, Kearney, and
Johnny Nelson, Gurley, were
swept into the railway commis
sion by the Nationalist slide.
Only " victorious Federalists
were Douglas Jarvis, Omaha, at
torney general; and Jerry Bar
ton, Gering, auditor.
Five ties were decided by a
toss of a coin.
At the girls' session, the prim
ary elections narrowed the
gubernatorial race down to Fed
eralist candidate Joanne Jacobs,
Omaha; and Shirley Mudra, also
Omaha. The delegates will vote
Thursday afternoon for the f.inal
selection.
