VOTE INDEPENDENT!
We, the undersigned, do herbo demonise any "drop from the bucket" policy in the selection of nontradesmen candidate positions and favor of the democratic principle of the selection of candidates in open convention and all elections selected under this system.
Moreover, we declare our recognition of proper representation in the independent list of non-fraudulent members, majority of non-fraudulent men, in direct contrast with that of the opposition which is composed of a minority of non-fraudulent men not selected in open convention.

The Independent Party, in the face of misrepresentations of known source, is forced to absolutely deny all accusations of fostering a lax Council during the past year.
During the past year the great majority of matters before the Council was of a disciplinary nature and for reasons which occur to the thinking man the proceedings of these cases were of necessity withheld from publicity.
Despite this fact a large amount of constructive work was completed and a lot of forward measures were given impetus for future realization. For the truth of this statement the student body is invited to look over the books of the Council.
It is a fact that during the past year nothing of a spectacular nature was attempted by the Council such as the Freshman Disciplinary Flop measures of the fall of 1925 under Pachacamac control. Nevertheless sound constructive measures were passed and there was nothing done but what we can point to with pride and without regret.
Rice Lardner is the man for President of the Senior Class. Chosen by a majority of his party from among his fellow students for this office, Lardner has the record and ability to be elected.
Lardner is a finished parliamentarian, an outstanding speaker, and a leader among his associates. He played an active role in the development of the Independent Party, and has been true to its ideals.

OUR PLATFORM
We Point With Pride to our record during the year of 1926-27 in the following matters:
matters:
Simplification of the electoral processes.
1. Simplification of theectoral processes:
One election a year is distinctly an Independent ideal; it is usually favored by the large majority of students as more satisfactory than the old broken-up types of the past.
2. Adequate student discipline.
2. Adequate student discipline.
A large number of disciplinary matters were handled in a very satisfactory way during the past year with a minimum of harmful publicity to the University.
3. Student Control of the Union Building.
The Independent council has always advocated this measure and at present positive action has been taken to secure this benefit.
4. Uniform Housing Regulations.
5. Proportional Representation.
4. Uniform Housing Regulations.
The Independent Party has favored and continues to work for more satisfactory relations between students and proprietors of rooming houses.
The Independent Party is the author and leading exponent of this feature in council elections.
The Independent Party pledges its efforts to secure a complete and accurate knowledge of the book store proposition before a decision should be reached. This may require a contingent due to the foreseeing of the Independent Party.
7. Student Opinion.
The Independent Party pledges itself to hearken to the desires of the student body by direct contact. We want emphasis on our values.
9. Constitutional Procedure.
Furthermore, the Independent Party pledges its legislation to be confined to the constitutional powers of the Student Council. However, the matters of the improvement of Potter lake and Sunday tennis will be taken care of as much as possible through proper channels in the STATE LEGISLATURE.
In accordance with the wishes of the faculty and best interest of the University, the Independent Party carried out its pledge to get athletics out of politics.

The Independent Party is not relying on time-worn and popular discredited expeditions of political bohem, catch-word qualifications in their solicitation for support at the polls Tuesday. True to the ideals that caused the formation and subsequent election of the Independent ticket is composed of men selected for their respective honors by their fellow-students in OPEN CON-
The Independent Party jealously retains the right of selection of candidates in open convention, and does rightfully defend this political principle. Its men are the men, whom in the judgment of the party must best serve for the office, due to past success and personal qualities.
Under the open convention system there is little room for the by-play of compromise and organized jealousy. The men selected for candidates under this system, then, are free of influence once in office and answer questions to the student he asks a whole, as they should be, instead of a few groups in minority combination, or to a causes of a few chosen minority
