Minnesota took Nebraska for the second time in one season last night when its one man team Governor Harold Stasscn bowled over 5,000 Nebraskans at the state wide republican rally in the coli seum. Tall, blonde, young he's the only governor in the country who registered for the draft Governor Stasscn advocates daring and swiftness in government adminis tration.

To this difference in respondents might be attributed the slight shift in results. That students from rural sec tions supported . Willkie over Roosevelt seemingly indicates that Roosevelt (and Wallace) do not control as many farm votes as is often thought. Urban students, whose parents are in some field of business enterprise, were over whelmingly pro-Willkie.
