Nattioial PIolitical Convention
According To Committee
Of
ATTENDANCE IS LIMITED
Invitation, for the 'sixth annual
Grtdiron banquet, sponsored by Sigma
Delta Chi, professionsl journalistic
fraternity, were place in tle mails
late last nigh, according to the invi-
tati-n committee. Between 300 and
400 invitations were included in the
list, which included both students and
faculty members. This year's ban-
quet will be held on Wednesday night,
April 4.
Instructions for returning the invi-
tations were included in the letter,
and, ,according to the committee, they
should be returned to convention head-
quarters, as designated by the invita-
tions, by the end of this -week. In-
asmuch as it is planned to limit at-
tendance to the u'sual 300, the first ap-
plications will be assured of securing
tickets.
Outside invitations have all been'
placed in the mails, according to the
committeo ,and replies are being re-f
ceived d aily. Indications are that
many outside guests will be present
on the night of the annual "razzfest."
The price of ticket for this year's ban-{
quet has been set at $2.75.
As previously announced, the affair
will be conducted along the line of a
national political convention. Tickets
for the banquet have also been se-
lected to harmonize with this scheme,'
the ticket committee reported yester-
day, and they will be mailed out next
week, in order to accommodate recip-
ients as early as possible.
The different factions present on the
night of the banquet will be grouped
separately in order to give their candi-
dates moral and verbal support, ac-
cording to the seating committee. Por-
traits of the fathers of the different
parties are being painted and will, be
arrayed about the convention hall,
which, for other occasions is known
as the Union ball room.
The identity of the recipient of the
famous "Oil Can" still remains a mys-
tery, the choice not to be known until
the night of the banquet. It ha's been
intimated that the speeches given at
that time by the different candidates
will probably materially further the
cause of the recipient, as far as the
final choice is concerned.

The faculty vote wa's especiallyE
large in yesterday's balloting, exceed-I
ing by a °large majority the number

the previous elections that have been
held for the campus at large. Much
of this was no doubt du'e to the talkt
-xcited by this year's campaign, andi
by the Coolidge ultimatum.r
RESHME[N AGREE[ TO~
KEEP POT TRADITION c
Further progress in the enforcement
of the tradition of the freshman pot1
was announced by Courtland C. Smith,
'28, at the regular weekly meeting of
the Student council held lat night at1
the Union. Smith reported to the
council that he has interviewed tie t
presidents cf the freshmen classes of1
the engineering college and of thet
College of Literature, Science, and the
Arts with the result that they will en-
deavor to take steps which will per-t
petuate the tradition.
The efforts are the result of thel
neglect by large portions of the fresh-t
man class to wear their pats thist
year.
Among the other business trans-
acted at the council imeeting lacl
night was the report of a committeet
which has conferred with the major
officers of the various classes of the
Medical school, with the result that
a more sincere effort will be made }
in the future to cooperate with the
medical classes in the handling of
their class elections and various class
functions, according to the report. In,
the past, due to the inconvenient
hour of laboratory periods and the
exceptional nature of the Medicalt
school organization these classets
have been forced to handle their own'
class elections and similar duties.
An effort will be made to assist them
in the future, the council decided.
Plans for Cap Night are proceed-
ing to completion, according to the
report of the Cap Night committee.
Cap Night this year will be held on
May 11. The site has not as yet been
decided upon.

MALE ,STUDENTS OPPOSE
Suggestion To Draft Coolidge Loses
By Ten To One Vote, But Issue
On Prohibition Is Close
Snowed under by a count of more
than three votes to two,theeissue of
the World Court, as presented on
the ballots of the presidential poll
conducted yesterday, fell in defeat
by a majority of more than 800 votes.
In the deluge of "no" ballots which
descended on the three questions,
both of the other issues, involving
prohibition and the. drafting of Cool-
idge, were also defeated, though the
prohibition ballot was close. The
proposal to draft Coolidge was over-
whelmed by more than ten votes to
one.
Both the women students and the
faculty members gave the World
Court a slight majority, the women
voting 202 to 168 in, favor of the pro-
position while the faculty gave it a
narrow six vote margin with 130 bal-
lots to 124. The male students, how-
ever, registered in decisive terms
their disapproval of American entry
in the international body, by a mar-
gin of well over 850 votes.
Prohibition Race Is Close
In the poll on prohibition, thoug
the question was not directly stated,
much the same thing happened, ex-
cept that the margin of disapproval
was not nearly as large as in the
case of the World Court. The fina
vote on this question, which found
2,012 of the voters against the pro-
position and 1,811 in favor of it, wa
the closest of the three issues pre
sented, and both the women student
and the faculty members gave the pro
hibition question a decisive margin
The faculty voted 250 in favor of th,
policy and 123 against it, and th
women students voted in a similai
vein with 171 votes in .favor of pro
hibition and 102tagainst it. In thi
case again, however, the margi
against the proposition registered b
the male students was insurmountabl
when they gave the question a hau
icap of nearly 400 votes, and the fina
result was the 200 vote defeat.
Coolidge Measure Downed
The proposition of drafting Presi
dent Coolidge as a candidate for th'
presidency went down to the most
decisive defeat of any of the three ques-
tions presented. All three factions of
faculty, male students, and women
students voted decisively against this
proposal, and the final outcome wa
a complete repudiation of the idea of
drafting the present President as
candidate. The faculty members vot
ed 262 to 15 against the proposition,
the women students defeated it by;
count of 330 to 46, and the mal
students, remaining consistent to their
policy of rolling up a decisive mar-
gin against each of the proposals
snowed it under by a vote of 2,90
votes to 279.
The question on drafting Preside-
Coolidge was, like the question o
the World Court, directly stated.
HOOVER HEADED
VOTING IN 1920
Herbert Hoover, secretary of com-
merce, is not a new favorite of the
University faculty and student body as
a presidential candidate, it is revealed
by examination ot the returns of a.
straw ballot conducted in 1920 by The
Daily. Secretary Hoover, in that year,
led nit only on the Republican ticket
but in the Democratic balloting a's
well, though his margin of victory in
both parties was very narrow.
Never before in the history of re-
corded campus ballotting has interest
reached the peak of yesterday, when
more than 4,450 votes were cast,
though the totals in 1920, when in-
"For the Love of Pete," the Junior
Girls' Play with its locale on a float-
ing university, and replete with
dances and tuneful melodies, contin-
ues its run at the Whitney Theater
for the remainder of the week, with
a matinee on Saturday.
The joint product of more than
125 girls of the Junior class, the
Junior Girls' Play is the largest sin-
gle venture given by any class in the
University. .Rivaling in size and mag-
nificence the Union Opera, all of the
work is done by members of the Jun-
ior class with the exception of paint-
ing and shifting of scenery. The ef-
fort to maintain the standards of the
productionaas strictly amateur have,
however, had nothing to do with the
excellent .brand of entertainment
which has been offered from year to
year.
The general chairman of the play
is Elizabeth Wellman, '29, the busi-
ness is in the hands of Marie Hart-
wig, '29, and Minna Miller, '27, is the
general director of the production.

MAJORITY OVER REMAINING
CANDIDATES IN RACE
Sweeping through the all-campus presidential poll held yes
(lay to pile up a decisive majority of all votes cast in bth part
Herbert Hoover, secretary of commerce, stood last night as
outstanding unofficial choice of the University student body
faculty for President of the United States. Secretary Hoover o'
whelmed his nearest competitor, Gov. Al Smith of New Yorks b
ratio of more than seven votes to two, and gained 2,540 of the t
of 4,451 votes cast.
Governor Smith, who led the Democratic candidates and v
was in second place in regard, to total votes, received 728 of
ballots cast, while Charles Evans Hughes, veteran New York sta
man, was second in the Republican ranks and third in point of vo
received with 303. Vice-president Charles Dawes received
votes; Newton D. Baker, 102; Frank Lowden, 95; Senator Will
Borah, 90; and Senator James Reed, 75; amonfg the other lead
candidates.
Among the 276 faculty members who cast votes in the st
ballot the various candidates showed only a slightly variant deg
of strength. Secretary Hoover was the outstanding choice of
group as of the others, with slightly 'more than half of all bal
cast, while Governor Smith was a .poor second with 56 vo
Newton D. Baker showed popularity all out of proportion to
measure in the all-campus tabulations, however, when he polled
or almost one tenth of the entire number cast. Another shift
strength fromn the.all-campus returns was noted in the.Republi
party when Senator Borah and Hughes tied for second place w
ten votes apiece, while Lowden was an extremely poor fifth w
only three votes.
A distinct departure from the average was noted in the wome
vote, however, when Secretary Hoover polled '423 of the tota
614 votes cast. Another decided shift of strength was apparen
the total of Governor Smith among the women voters when 1
candidate, who had gained about one of every six votes thro
the .whole ballot received scarcely more than one tenth, or 43, of
women's votes. Hughes was
