HARDING LEADS IN FACULTY VOTING BY 27 MAJORITY

On the results of the CRIMSON Faculty Post Card Straw Ballot, as registered by the return of 179 cards up to 6.30 last night, Senator Warren Gamaliel Harding, the Republican nominee for President of the United States, defeated Governor James Middleton Cox, the Democratic candidate, by 27 votes.

The results are not large, but they are are a more definite expression than the 29 votes cast in the regular Presidential Straw Ballot. Harding carried the Medical School again, 10-6, and swept the Dental, Engineering, Education and Business Schools. The Law and Divinity Schools returned votes slightly favoring Cox. The Business School gave Christensen his only vote, while the College and the Medical School joined to give Debs his two vote support.

There were 136 votes cast in the College: 4 in the Law School, 15 in the Medical School, 6 in the Business School, and 14 in the other Graduate Schools combined.

Circular Letter Sent Faculty

Believing that the participation of the Faculty in the voting of the recently held Presidential Straw Ballot was too small to accurately gauge the true attitude of this body toward the present elections, the CRIMSON sent out last week the following self-explanatory circular letter ton over 300 members of the Faculty: "Dear Sir:

"In order to convey a correct opinion to the outside world regarding the stand of the Faculty toward the coming elections, which cannot be done by the few votes cast in the recent Presidential Straw Ballot, held under the auspices of the Harvard CRIMSON, the Harvard CRIMSON is conducting a postal card canvass of all members of the instructing body of Harvard University whose addresses are available at this time.

"You are respectfully requested, therefore, to fill out and mail the enclosed card.

"THE HARVARD CRIMSON."
