Majority from Lincoln.
Of the ten men aspiring to office, a
large majority are Lincoln men; a fact

will materially affect the final result
of the election is easily seen from the
large number of Omaha men In the
University.
In the senior class the only man in
the race, and probably the electee, is
Harold R. Mulligan of Beatrice, reg
istered law 1913. He Is well known
from his work on the reservo football

this fall. He 1b a member of Delta
Tau fraternity. The Juniors will vote

debating In the University, being a
member of the squad this year.
In the sophomore contest L. F 'Meier

the amothyBt float. It was under the
leadership of Prof. C. B. Cornell.
Thirty-two pieces were brought from
