POLITICAL CENSUS.
If “coming events cast their
shadows” as the adage goes, the
coming Presidential election will be
a walk-over for Roosevelt and Fair
banks, if the sentiments of State
College voters can be as an indica
tion. Under the direction of the
President of the student Republi
can club a canvass has been made
of the voting students in this Col
lege, and up to date only one
Democrat has declared hiriiself.
The only reason he could give for
his preference for Democracy was
‘ ‘that the Republicans had been in
long enough.” It is to be doubted
if others of the same mind here
have any more substantial reasons
for voting the same way. The vot
ing contingent is almost solid Re
publican and will go to their homes
in a body in November to whoop
things up for “Teddy.” Some
plans are being made by the Re
publican club to make the campaign
at the College a little more lively.
ELECTIVE FRENCH.
Prof. I. L. Foster has organized
an elective course in French for
Sophomores and upper-class men.
The work will include commercial
forms, business letters, etc., and
will be of great practical value to
all students taking it.
