For many weeks speculation has been rife concerning the strength of the various Presidential candidates in the colleges. The straw ballot today at Harvard and Princeton will not only definitely settle these arguments but will prove a true indication of American public opinion, for the men in these two universities represent all parts of the country and many classes of people.

In 1916, Roosevelt, naturally a favorite with Harvard men, led the field, with Wilson and Hughes following in that order. In the preceding election, 1912, Wilson was first, Roosevelt second and Taft third. These figures clearly show that whether or not college opinion has any weight, it does express the feelings of a majority.

Today's ballot, combining as it does the opinion of two of the United States' greatest universities, will be just so much more full of significance than the single vote at Harvard in past campaigns. As a result, whether you are a Hoover "intellectual," a Wood "platitudinarian," or favor Governor Edwards for obvious reasons, make the straw ballot really representative by polling a large student vote today.
