daughter in col lege generally vote the ticket that father votes states the new stu dent herbert hoover carried the colleges in the east and the west al smith carried the colleges of most of the south how the students would vote this year was one of the puzzles of a many sided campaign on the one cide was a college graduate on the other side was an alumnus of the sidewalks of new york but there is nothing to indicate that this was a deciding factor anywhere altho the college graduate was victorious both eastern and western students gave their votes to hoover stu dents of ten southern states gave theirs to smith prejudices and be liefs were not overcome by educa tion and sound reasoning of ma ture minds this contention is car ried out by the straw vote which the new student conducted in 1924 satisfaction with the two old parties is more marked in the last election than ever before in 1924 two hundred college professors vot ed about evenly for the two leading candidates today sons and daugh ters of these men voted the same tickets as their fathers the votes of future college men and women will probably be decided by the choice of their parents subscriptions to the red cross ar

vote illustrates fairly well that son and daughter in col lege generally vote the ticket that father votes states the new stu dent herbert hoover carried the colleges in the east and the west al smith carried the colleges of most of the south how the students would vote this year was one of the puzzles of a many sided campaign on the one cide was a college graduate on the other side was an alumnus of the sidewalks of new york but there is nothing to indicate that this was a deciding factor anywhere altho the college graduate was victorious both eastern and western students gave their votes to hoover stu dents of ten southern states gave theirs to smith prejudices and be liefs were not overcome by educa tion and sound reasoning of ma ture minds this contention is car ried out by the straw vote which the new student conducted in 1924 satisfaction with the two old parties is more marked in the last election than ever before in 1924 two hundred college professors vot ed about evenly for the two leading candidates today sons and daugh ters of these men voted the same tickets as their fathers the votes of future college men and women will probably be decided by the choice of their
