35.5, according to an election day poll of the campus. About 2
of those polled. were undecided, 2 were for Wallace, 1 for Thur

porters, stationed at different points on the campus, took the poll.
The reporters asked the students, "If you were voting, whom
would you vote for?" Despite the fact that about 47o of the students
answered this question with the name of a minor-party candidate,
such votes would not be counted on an official ballot for write-in
votes for president are not permitted. Only Truman and Dewey
appeared on Nebraska's presidential ticket.
The 1,028 students voted like this:

1 Jiul;;ins Pi oredure
I "Productions will be judged on
President Truman pulled a na
tional surprise in the early elec
tion results last night by winning
a much stronger Democratic vote
than all public opinion polls had
anticipated. -
Early reports including about a
15 vote found Truman out
ahead with more than enough
electorial votes to win. Since
these votes indicate little in the
final tabulations this overwhelm
ing Democratic vote can mean
little but a big surprise to the
possibly over-confident Repub
licans. Thurmond Leads South
All probabilities point to the
"Solid South" remaining solidly
behind Strom Thurmond, the
Dixiecrat nominee. Wallace
seemed to' have little chance to
pull any electorial votes.
In the Nebraska election, most
state offices were sure to re
main in Republican hands. Sena
tor Wherry was leading Terry
Carpenter nearly two to three
in the senatorial race. Incum
bent Governor Val Peterson also
had a two to three edge on his
Democratic opponent Frank Sor
rell. These results are based on
earlv reports from 192 out of
2,033 precincts.
Nebraska Leans Demo
For a Republican state, Ne
braska was also appearing to
lean more to the Demo side in
the national election than was
expected. Dewey was ahead of
Truman in the presidential race
by a vote of approximately 36,
000 to 29,000 at 11 p.m.
State proposals appeared to be
losing out in early reports. One
proposal, the Mineral Rights Tax
proposal, was to be a constitu
tional amendment and the other
was the Veterans' Bonus pro
posal. Another early report indicated
that the Kansas voters favored
prohibition repeal. The vote for
an again wet Kansas was def
initely a majority.
