Against Class Day Electioneering.

[We invite all men in the University to submit communications on subjects of timely interest. The CRIMSON is not, however responsible for the sentiments expressed in such communications as may be printed.]

To the Editors of the CRIMSON:

It is to be deplored that there has been much evidence of electioneering for several of the Class Day offices. A candidate who allows or encourages such electioneering in his behalf betrays personal motives incompatible with the best interest of the class. The man who electioneers forcibly brings to light the weakness of his candidate; for if the man is worthy of election there would be no point gained in foisting him upon the class. The practices of passing around printed sheets in favor of candidates and of covertly soliciting votes through the mail are methods which the class should effectively condemn. Every man in the class, therefore, should go to the polls to vote for the man whom he honestly believes best fitted for the office for which he is nominated, and thus defeat the underhanded electioneering methods which have been practiced. VOTER.
