Following its custom of former Presidential election years, the CRIMSON is planning to conduct a poll of the University in an endeavor to determine the trends of opinion regarding the leading possibilities for the Presidential nomination.
Voting will begin at several polling places in the University on Monday, March 19, and probably will continue for two days. Any member of the University is eligible to cast a ballot. The results of each day's vote will be published in the CRIMSON.
Other Colleges Also Vote
Simultaneous polls are being conducted in more than 70 colleges and universities throughout the country. The returns from these surveys will be likewise published in the CRIMSON and the results of the Harvard canvass distributed to the newspapers of the other institutions conducting the polls. The list of these institutions includes all of the large universities of the East, the State universities of the Middle West and Far West, and a number of smaller colleges of recognized rank in educational circles.
The names of ten leading candidates, five Republicans and five Democrats, will appear on the ballots in the poll. Voters will, however, be free to record any other choice which they prefer. The Republican candidates are: Charles Curtis, of Kansas; Charles G. Dawes, of Illinois; Herbert Hoover, of California; Frank O. Lowden, of Illinois; Frank B. Willis of Ohio. The Democrats include: A. Victor Donahey, of Ohio; James A. Reed, of Missouri; Albert C. Ritchie, of Maryland; Alfred E. Smith, of New York; Thomas J. Walsh, of Montana.
A series of articles, dealing with the career and qualifications of each of the ten candidates, will appear in the CRIMSON. These articles, written by political authorities of national repute, will be reprinted by courtesy of The Independent, and will make their first appearance at an early date, to continue until a few days before the poll.
