DAILY CONDUCTS
LARGER ELECTION,
The poll conducted by The Daily
during the latter part of Ma.rch forj
presidential preferences resulted in af
total casting of well over 4,000 votes,
minus a few hundred faculty ballots.
This number exceeds by nearly a
thousand the total registration for
the forthcoming all-campus election.
This variance probably is due to the
more universial interest in national
ipolitics over local campus activities

Registration Report
Contains Names Of
About 3,500 Voters
Approximately 3500 students are
registered to vote in the all-campus
election, according to an announce-
ment made yesterday by Courtland C.
Smith, president of the student coun-
cil, and Henry S. Grinnell, '28, chair-
man of the Student Council Ele tions
Committee. About 2000 of those reg-
istered are enrolled in the College of
Literature, Science, and the Arts.
The number registered is approxi-
mately one-third of the entire stu-
dent body.
Last year the registration was
somewhat heavier than this year. At
that time m-ore than 300 more stu-
dents complied with the requirements
which made them eligible to vote.
Only about 2000 votes were actually
cast in the 1927 election, however. It
is expected that the actual vote will
be much heavier this year since the
interest in the election has contin-
ually increased.
Registration was held last Wednes-
day and Thursday under the general
direction of Henry S. Grinnell. Those
booths were kept open on both days
jbetween 9 o'clock in the morning and
4 o'clock in the afternoon and tvo

with this regard, and he displays ex-
treme anxiety that the fact that he'
(Curtis) is peddling the word that
Coolidge will accept, shall not get
back to the President.
Senator David A. Reed, of Pennsyl-
vania, is another whose prediction
that Coolidge will be nominated is
given weight, particularly by those
persons who are anxious to believe
this prediction. Hie is recognized as
a henchman of Secretary Mellon. More
than that, Mr. Reed continues to as-
sert that he personally favors Hoov-
er. It is his close association with
Mr. Mellon, who is credited with con-
trolling most of the 79 as yet un-
disposed of delegates from Pennsyl-
vania, that causes Senator Reed's
words to be listened to.
FACTION IN TEXAS
PRIMARY FAVORED
TO TAKEVICTORY
(By Associated Press)
DALLAS, Texas, May 7- Texas
"bone dry" Democrats have emerged
from the opening skirmish with other
factions of the party, strongly favor-
-ed to win their campaign for a dele-
gation to the national convention un-
instructed for or against any presi-:
iential candidate.
After a drive led by the youthful
Gov. Dan Moody, the dry faction Sat-
urday demonstrated its strength in
precinct conventions by obtaining
control of so large a majority of
delegates in 71 of the 253
counties, that leaders of opposing
factions made little effort to obtain
.omplete returns. The Moody forces
demanded a delegation uninstructed
for presidential candidates, but in-
structed to work for a dry plank in
the national party platform, and for
-t dry nominee.
Returns considered representative
from the 3,000 odd precincts showed
1,481 delegates uninstructed and 1,234
instructed for a dry plank. Gov. Alfred
E. Smith, of New York, and Jesse H.
Jones, 1-ouston publisher and Djemo-
cratic national treasurer, led in in-
structed delegates. The incomplete
returns gave Smith 326, Jones 93 and
