Polls in Social Sciences
Open at 9 O'clock
This Morning.
Polls located in Social Sciences
open this morning at 9 o'clock for
the university to register its opin
ion of the presidential candidates
in the straw vote being taken by
the Daily Nebraskan. This vote
is taken in co-operation with the
Daily Princetonian which is con
ducting a nation-wide survey of
collegiate opinion in regard to the
coming presidential election.
The polls will be open from 9
until 12 and from 1 until 4. Votes
will be counted at 12 and at 4 so
that results can be sent to the
Princetonian as soon as possible.
All students and faculty members
are eligible to vote.
Leaders Give Opinions.
Opinions of campus political
leaders as to the outcome of the
straw vote are varied. Robert Har
mon, president of the Democratic
student club, made a surprising
statement when he said. "I believe
that the straw vote will go in fa
vor of the socialists. The students
of Nebraska are at the reaction
ary age and will largely vote so
cialist." Charles Gray, president
of the Socialist club, stated that he
believed the republicans would poll
more votes than the democrats,
but that the socialists would come
up with a surprising number of
votes. "1 have no idea as to the
outcome of the straw vote," stated
John Gepson, president of the Re
publican club. The only leader
who believed that the democrats
would win the straw vote was
Howard Holtzendorff who stated:
"1 have no doubts that the dem
ocrats will win the poll."
Faculty to Assist.
A group of girls, and faculty
members will be on duty at all
times during the day to conduct
vntinr- nnd to see that no

the debate.
Three Points Argued.
The Shirlev-Holtzendrff team
argued on three points. First, the
Republicans being in favor of a
high tariff, second, that the Re

As their main defense, the Gepson-Magee
team which took the
negative side of the question,
stated, "The Democrats have not
