Heavy Balloting of Freshmen Result Of Organized Clubs Campaigning for Candidates

NO WRITER ATTRIBUTED

With the balloting unusually heavy in the Freshman primary election yesterday, John F. Brooks, E. Langdon Burwell, David D. Henry, Langdon P. Marvin, Jr., Eugene H. Nickerson, and Homer D. Peabody qualified for the run-off election to be held Thursday.
