TO CHOOSE PRESIDENT TUESDAY

CRIMSON TO TAKE STRAW BALLOT TO DETERMINE SENTIMENT OF UNIVERSITY.

NO WRITER ATTRIBUTED

The CRIMSON will hold a straw ballot Presidential election, open to all members of the University, in the CRIMSON Building next Tuesday from 8.30 o'clock in the morning until 8 o'clock in the evening. The names of thirteen candidates will appear upon the ballot without any designation as to parties. This will be done with the intention of making the vote a choice of the individual only, without party influence. Although the list of names includes the most widely mentioned candidates, blank spaces will be left at the bottom of the ballot in order that votes may be made for candidates whose names do not appear. The following names will appear upon the ballot: Allan L. Benson, of New York, Socialist nominee; William Jennings Bryan, of Nebraska, ex-Secretary of State; Albert B. Cummins, senator from Iowa; Charles Warren Fairbanks, of Indiana, ex-Vice-President; Henry Ford, of Michigan; Charles E. Hughes, of Washington, D. C., Justice of the Supreme Court; Samuel W. McCall, Governor of Massachusetts; Theodore Roosevelt '80; Elihu Root, ex-senator from New York; Lawrence Y. Sherman, senator from Illinois; John W. Weeks, senator from Massachusetts; and Woodrow Wilson.
