THE FINAL SENIOR ELECTION.

The final election of Senior class officers is held in Phillips Brooks House today. Last week at the first election, 95 per cent of the class resident in Cambridge cast their ballots and the men elected were the choice of a large number of the class. In order to obtain the same satisfactory results today, it is the duty of every Senior to go to the polls and express his choice of candidates. An unusually large number of men have been nominated by petition for two of the committees, and if a small vote is cast, it is likely to result that a candidate is elected only by a small proportion of the class and so is not representative of the class as a whole. In former years the number of ballots cast at this final election has been materially less than at the election of marshals. But with Brooks House as the polling place, 1913 has already broken one record by the vote of last Wednesday. Today's vote ought to be as large, for some of the positions to be filled are fully as important. No one of them is a mere honor; each entails hard and earnest work. Consequently it is the duty of every Senior not only to vote, but also to vote for those men who have shown by their accomplishments during the past three years and by their attitude toward the class that they are the best fitted to plan and carry out the work of preparation for the festivities before graduation, and to keep alive the spirit of class unity and fellowship after the individual men have scattered to all corners of the world.
