52. favored the Roosevelt platform
in 1932, nnd only 49 repeated the
choice Tuesday, compared to the
ten votes which Landon managed
to get.
In 1932 five of the Freshmen
boys were for Hoover, and believe
it or not, two of that same group
stated that they voted for A1 Smith
in the same year. Three had no
choice in the elections, and the
six who favored Roosevelt four
years ago now look to the future
with landon, Knox, and Hamilton.
One of Hoover’s five votes in
1932, according to one Freshman
boy’s ballot, is going this year into
the ranks of the Communists, po
litically.
The heaviest and most uniform
balloting on the whole election
came from the Freshmen girls who
guve Roosevelt some 95 votes, Lan

Pure ... and of finer
texture than most anything
that touches your lips...
We all agree on this . . . cigarette
paper is important. For Chesterfield
we use the best paper that we can
buy. It is called Champagne Ciga
rette Paper. It is made from the soft,
silky fibre of the flax plant. It is
washed over and over in clear, spark
ling water.
A lot of the pleasure you get in
smoking Chesterfields is due to our
using the right kind of cigarette pa
per. Chesterfield paper is pure, and
it burns without taste or odor.

THE WEST GEORGIAN, TUESDAY, NOVEMBER 3, 1936
Thomas one vote each.
In 1932 the Republican party at
tracted only four Freshmen co-eds
while at the same time, one girl
favored the white-haired, aristo
cratic-looking Norman Thomas.
And incidentally, that one girl re
mained in Tuesday’s elections clos

Sophomore boy also did .
One of Hoover’s 1932 flock of
Freshmen women has gone Com
munist, while Franklin Roosevelt,
undoubtedly West Georgia’s choice,
lost only on Freshman girl to Gov
ernor I^andon.
The voting was sponsored by the
West Georgian to determine in
what lines the students were think
ing politically, and to also de
termine whether this college was
possessed with the same political
philosophy that so many junior
colleges are.
The voting was, on the whole,
taken very seriously, as if the stu
dents themselves were actually
casting votes in a national election
to decide on a candidate.
West Georgian reporters said
Wednesday night that many of the
Landon voters were inclined to dis
agree with the present administra
tion because of its apparent dis
regard of the Constitution.
There was some hesitation on the
part of the editor of the West
Georgian, which sponsored the bal
loting, as to the placing the Com
munist candidate on the ballot.
Browder’s position was, how
ever, finally recognized after ad
vice from several faculty members.
The West Georgian is neither
way politically, but it was hoped
that no hard feelings would be
shown regarding Browder’s name
appearing on the ballot, as the
newspaper can see no earthly rea
son for the absence of any candi
dates name, the editorial board said
Wednesday night at a staff meet

Knox expressed particularly de
light in the outcome of the ballot
