INNOCENT ELECTIONS
The InnoccntB havo boon chosen for

struck with the sincere Idea that the
present method of choosing these men
Is fundamentally wrong out of place

If the organization Is to be worthy of
consideration. If the organization is to
be moro than a mutual admiration
club, if the organization is to carry
weight with the students must neces
sarily bo the popular loaders. Tho
usefulness of this, organization de
pends directly upon tho popular lead
ership of Its members. It Is directly
from tho students that tho Innocents,
through leadership, can over bo
worthy of second consideration.
It may be argued that thirteen mon
of the graduating class are bqttor
qualified to chooso tho thirteen best
men from the junior class than is the
student body. Theso men, we aro
told, know who is who and choose ac
cordingly. Out after all, Is It not
merely an estimate on tho"T)nrt of
theso thlrteon well-meaning men?
Aro they not but estimating who are
the moro popular men who aro tho
leaTler8? Are they not, among them
selves, trying to fathom public opin
ion, trying to chooso tho mon who are

Hotel, Friday, May 8th, at 6 p. m.
page four of this same lssuo of March
31st appeared a notice that created
no little lntorest among the members
of tho student body. Manager Swift
of tho Cornhusker was to glvo away
one do luxe book to one out of every
hundred persons who placed their or
ders beforo 8 a. m., Wednesday, April
1st. Tho book was to havo the lucky
person's namo on It In gold. Tho win
ners were to bo determined by a sys
tem of numbering and drawing. Fur
ther, out of every hundred copies sold
after 8 o'clock one person was to be
given ti tie lu.vo book ' in place or a
standard which thoy might order. Tho
names of tho winners in tho drawing
wero to be announced in tho "Rag"
and on the Cornhuskor bulletin board
In front of tho ofllce. It may also be
noted that those commissioned to take
orders used tho drawing thus provided
for as an Inducement In urging stu
dents to subscribe.
In tho Nebrnskan of April 3rd, Man
ager Swift was quoted aB saying that
the salo of Cornhuskers was "the host
over." Evidently ho was even then
being asked to namo tho winners, for
the same article goes on to say: "The

be -annouTicrtTtlnrlirHt of tills week or

ask you, WHO IS BETTER ABLE TO
CHOOSE THEIR LEADERS THAN
THOSE WHO ARE TO FOLLOW?
Wo firmly believe with Thomas Jcf
forson that all tho people aro wiser
than any Individual or group.
The Innocents, wo aro reliably told,
choose, on the other hand, tho men
that they believe will further their
own specific ends, not those that will
have power, or thoso who havo earned
for themsolves popular recognition in
thp University.. Neither Is any sort
of representation aimed at, nor is
recognition for past achievements
taken as proper criterion for choice.
Now wo ask, just what aro theso ends?
They aro doubtless what thoso thir
teen men bollove tho best for tho Uni
versity. Again refer to Mr. Jefferson.
To sum the whole thing up in a word,

The last of that week and the first

the last and first of several succeed

from Manager Swift. Ills silence has
been broken but once. On April 9th

To the Subscribers of
the Daily Nebraskan :
During the campaign for new subscribers during
the past registration week, promissory notes for
$1.00 were taken by the management as equivalent
to the cash subscription.
While these notes aro payable on the demand
of the publishers, it is not the intent of the pub
lishers to demand the payment at a certain date
but it understood that payment must be made be
fore tha signer of the note leaves school.
Those who are indebted to the Daily Nebraskan
for the present semester may visit tho offioe in the
basement of University Hall at any time and upon
the payment of $1.00 receive a receipt in full.
