STRAW VOTE FOR PRESIDENT

A straw vote for President of the United States, following the custom of previous presidential election years, will be held today for all students of the University. The polls will be open from 9 to 1 and from 2 to 4 o'clock. Law School men will cast their ballots in the smoking room of Austin Hall, all other graduates and undergraduates of the University at the Lodge of the Class of '77 Gate.

The system of preferential voting to be used is as follows: The ballot is divided into four columns; in the first column will be the list of prominent candidates alphabetically arranged, with party designations indicated; in the second column the voter will indicate his first choice by marking a cross (X) after the name of the candidate he favors most; in the third he will indicate his second preference in a similar manner; in the fourth he will indicate his third choice. Votes cast for fictitious or impossible candidates will not be counted.

The watchers at the polls have been assigned the following duties: Men after whose names the letter (A) appears will hand out the ballots and give the name of the voter to the checker; (B) will check off the voter's name from the list of the members of the University; (C) will drop the ballot in the box.
