Campus Poll Winner Must Buck Tradition
By CLARKE KEYS
If history means anything, the winner of the KU presidential preferential election had better watch out.
The campus-wide election, sponsored by the Daily Kansan next Tuesday, has been conducted, in one form or another, before the last two presidential elections. In each case the KU winner—a Republican has been defeated in the general elections by the Democratic candidate.
In 1944 nearly one-third of the student body voted in a straw vote to give the campus view on the general election. Gov. Thomas E. Dewey polled 61 per cent of the total votes compared to only 33.8 per cent for President Franklin D. Roosevelt.
In 1948 a group of students was polled on its beliefs and choices for the election that year and again Gov. Dewey swept ahead, getting 63 per cent of the votes. President Truman garnered 37 per cent, but took the general election.
No registration is necessary to vote in the election Tuesday. Students ID cards will be punched at the voting booths around the campus.
Representatives of both major political parties have urged students to participate in the balloting scheduled for a week before the general election.

Officials Not Hopeful Of Early Coal Peace
Washington—(U.P.)—Government and industry leaders abandoned today whatever faint hopes they had that John L. Lewis might call off the "milk money" strike of 350,000 soft coal miners.
They thought the latest pronouncement from the United Mine Workers' president sounded very much like the official signal for a prolonged shutdown.
The miners began walking out last week, without any formal authorization from their union, after the Wage Stabilization board lopped 40 cents off the $1.90-a-day pay raise which Mr. Lewis had negotiated. Harry M. Moses, president of the Bituminous Coal Operators' association, appealed to Mr. Lewis to order the men back to work for the $1.50-a-day increase approved by the board.
Mr. Lewis replied late yesterday with a letter accusing the Wage board of trying to "filch milk money from (the miners) purse." He told
Queen Pictures Due Friday Noon

The bureau will take four poses of each candidate who must select the pose she wishes to use. The candidate must leave the picture in the office of the dean of women by noon, Nov. 3. The bureau suggests that each candidate wear a suit for the picture.
Judges will select finalists for queen at a coffee in the Union cafeteria from 7:45 to 9:15 p.m. Nov. 3.

Mr. Moses that if the operators want any coal dug, they had better petition the Wage board to "review" its ruling and approve the full amount.
Mr. Moses declined immediate comment on the suggestion. But industry circles said it was doubtful that the operators would appeal to the Wage board to change its ruling.
There also was no indication government officials were planning to break the impasse by asking the Wage board to reconsider. Economic Stabilizer Roger L. Putnam has publicly endorsed the board's stand.
Mr. Lewis paid his respects to Mr. Putnam in his letter to Mr. Moses.
Ike Concerned About East Vote
"Mr. Putnam," the UMW president wrote, "is an honorable man and comes from a good New England family. His only sadistic trait is his desire to rob miners' babies of life-giving milk."
Emphasizing repeatedly that the disputed 40 cents of extra pay "would buy milk each day" for coal miners' children, Mr. Lewis told Mr. Moses;
"You of all men should know that the mine workers will fight to protect the milk supply of their families."
The Republican presidential nominee's spokesman said the GOP was not being lulled into complacency by turnouts of large crowds on Gen. Eisenhower's previous appearances in New York and Massachusetts.
En route with Eisenhower—(U.P.)Dwight D. Eisenhower, somewhat concerned about his chances of carrying New York and Massachusetts, began a short tour of the two states today to strengthen his position.
Meanwhile Gov. Adlai E. Stevenson launched the final big trip of his presidential campaign, a whistle-stop tour covering 4,000 miles in 12 important states.
Gen. Eisenhower started the day's activities with a "dawn patrol" breakfast with Republican leaders in Harlem. Before the day is over he will have visited Hartford, Conn.; Springfield, Mass.; Pittsfield, Mass.; and Albany and Troy, N.Y.
The Democratic presidential nominee and his party left the campaign headquarters city of Springfield, Ill. at 12:15 p.m. CST on the first leg of the swing.
The first day of the whistle-stop winds up in Chicago, where Gov. Stevenson will deliver a "fireside chat" over a nationwide radio and television hookup tonight. Then the train moves into Indiana, Ohio and the East.
