To the Editors of the CRIMSON:
In justice to the men who spent seven hours counting the votes last Friday night, I wish to explain how the special count was carried on. There were four tabulation sheets. As each ballot was read off, the teller in charge of the Bryan-Hughes list, for instance, would note down whether the voter preferred Bryan or Hughes, on the assumption that, if there had been only those two candidates, the voters who preferred Bryan would have voted for him and those who preferred Hughes would have voted for him. Similarly for the four other possible combinations of nominees. The results showed that more men preferred Johnson to one or the other of the Republicans, than they did Bryan, and that more Republicans would leave their party if Johnson was nominated than if Bryan was.
