STUDENT VOTERS ARE FOR WILSON
Straw Vote Gives Democratic Candidate Comfortable Majority
WOMEN VOTE IS LARGI
Over Fifteen Hundred Votes Are Cast by Men and Women
Woodrow Wilson will be the choice of both men and women for our next president if the straw vote of the University taken by the Kansan shows the direction of the political breezes. The ballot was taken this morning at the formal welcoming of Company M in Robinson Gymnasium. The total vote showed that 1621 ballots had been cast by both men and women. Bryan Hughes 683, Benson 7, Hanley 6, Bryan 1, Roosevelt 1, and Adrian Lindsey, captain of the football team, 2—both women's votes.
WOMEN STRONG FOR WILSON Both men and women gave Wilson a majority of their votes, but the supporters almost ignored a much larger majority for the Democratic candidate. "The effect of the Wall Street Suffrage Special which was here last week didn't seem to do much good," said a prominent member of the faculty upon learning the results of the poll.
The men's vote stood 541 for Wilson and 467 for Hughes, while the women's votes counted 380 for Twain. Two voters were not counted because persons had not voted for more than one candidate. All votes for the odd candidates, with the exception of the two votes for Lindsey, were cast by
MEN ARE LEAST INTERESTED
Practically every woman in the
department of Journalism who
ballot-showing the interest that the
men are taking in the present
presidential campaign. A member of

has been elected to the senate,
said that a larger number of men
failed to cast their votes than women.
ENTERTAINED SOLDIERS
Citizens of Lawrence Gave Banquet to Companies M and H
The remainder of the evening was spent in dancing.
The members of company M and H were entertained last night by the citizens of Lawrence with a banquet at F. A. U. Hall. The banquet was followed by a program which consisted largely of speeches. Rev. Mr. Porter, the commissioner border, began the program with a short prayer following which Mayor Francisco introduced the first speaker, Chancellor Strong. Other speakers of especial note are John D. Bowersock, Colonel Metcalf, Captain Naismith, Major Clark of Company and Captain Jones of Company M.
Besides the members of the two companies, their guests and a number of prominent town people were present.
A number which seems to have been a particular favorite with the soldiers was the music furnished by the musicians of the regiment, strangely enough of six veterans.

COUNCIL CLIMBS ON BAND WAGON
Greever Appoints Committee to Co-operate With County Club Union
The Permanent Income Bill movement received impetus today when the Men's Student Council appointed Page Wagner, Milton Heath, and William McKinney, as a committee of three to co-operate with the County Board to represent the Council in all activities of the proposed campaign.
In making appointments, the council aimed to make the committee representative of the entire University. Wagner is a senior engineer, Heath, a junior college, and McKinney, a member of the graduate school.
The first meeting of the County Club Union has been set for Thursday night by Willard Glascro, president of the union. At this meeting plans will be discussed for the coming convoction to be given in the letter of the Permanent Income Bills for foster families and Fathers' Week; and for the hubs quets to be given at the various county seats during Christmas vacation.
"I want a delegate from every county in the state to be present at this meeting and if the county has not sent a delegate to the dedication of the club to be presented," said Glaseo. "Practically all the county clubs are now organized, and it is important that every county be represented in the first meeting of the union. A list of all officers elected in the county was as soon as the county is organized."
Ralph H. Spots, a graduate of the School of Law and now a practicing lawyer in Lawrence, came out strongly in favor of the Permanent Income Bill this morning Mr. Spots was a Phi Beta Kappa, a Sachem, editor of the Jayhawker in 1910, and member of the Kansan Board while in the University. Besides being a member of the Debate Council, he was a member of the Debate Council and was on the team that defeated the University of Colorado in 1908 on the Income Tax question. He was the cheerleader in 1910.

A Knight Sans Armor
STUDENTS MAKE THOROUGH HUNT
Many Clues Lead to Nothing Concerning Whereabouts of Mrs. Cochrane
HASKELL INDIANS HELP
Late Publicity Complicates Situation Because People Mix Dates
If the combined efforts of every man, woman, and child in Lawrence, and of every student at the Haskell Institute, is enough, Mrs. Lucy Ballinger Cochrane, wife of Charles C. Cochrane, associate professor in the engineering faculty of the University of Kentucky, cochrane Cochrane disappeared from her home, 1336 Kentucky Street, a week ago Wednesday.
The hunts in Lawrence yesterday were systematic and thorough. A picked body of 100 engineers, many of them Professor Cochrane's own, took the job at Eudora, Bonner Springs, and South Lawrence in motors and on foot. Boy Scouts raked every alley way, searched every barn and empty house and vacant lot in town. The Indians at Haskell left their 4 o'clock class to divide into four parties and searched heads and fields around the school.
Not clue was found. There were two reports of seeing a woman, clad in a blue dress, blue coat, and wearing a red hat, seen wandering near the institute. The Haskell girls testified they had seen the person, but placed the day as last Tuesday, the date of their disappearance. Two women on Haskell Avenue said they saw the woman Thursday.
MIXED IN DATE
Clues are found, are being given credence, and are then simmering down to nothing. The Haskell evi- dence that Mrs. Cochrane has that of a woman friend who said she saw Mrs. Cochrane near North College Thursday morning. Neither has that of Doctor Hayne, who must he spoke to her Thursday noon.
DISAPPEARANCE A MYSTERY Mrs. Cochrane could have met many kids of disaster before the news of her disappearance was made public. If the people of Lawrence had known the facts of the case the day after she left her home, she would no doubt have been returned home by now. Several people that knew her have claimed to have seen her several days after she left home. They not knowing anything of the story, they were seeing her. The facts were made public almost a week after she disappeared.
A PERIOD OF PROSPERITY
O'Keefe Speaks Highly of Wilson's Administration
"During the past three and a half years more good laws have been passed than were ever dreamed of before, and the people and the business have followed him more than at any time before," said John T'O'Keefe in his talk last night before the K. U. Woodrow Wilson Club in Green Hall. Mr. O'Keefe, a prominent lawwonver lawyer, is on a speaking State Central Committee.
The success of the Wilson administration and the laws which the president is advocating for the next four years were described by Mr. O'Keele. President Wilson's ideas of the tariff were mentioned by Mr. O'Keele. "The Republicans four years ago said that they should lead to a ruinous state of affairs. Yet Wilson was elected. And what is the result?"

Band and Student Enthusiasm Give Militiamen Warm Welcome
The University of Kansas wel-
comed the boys of Company M this
morning with a general assembly in
Robinson Gymnasium. Almost two
thousand students turned out to wel-

praise of the speakers for the militia-

CO, M A. MODEL
"It is a great help to a regiment to have a company of trained students in its midst," said Colonel Melfcally, in part. "Whenever we needed anything done right and done in a hurry we called on Company M. These men could wire a tent, lay out company streets, plan drains and other things with an exactness pleasing to the of-fermenters." They would serve a meal served up to the best advantage, we would call on a man from Company M.
"The man have returned as sound as when they left. Now they will respond."

THEERE IS SUNNY JIM AS WELL AS UNCLE JIMMY
There is Uncle Jimmy, of course, whom everybody knows, but not every one knows that we have a "Sunny Jim" in our midst. For thirteen years, for Wm. A. McKeenour now头夫 of the child welfare department. Earlier he taught at the State Agricultural College at Manhattan and to all the students there he was "Sunny Jim" because of his unfailing good spirits.
His work in the University does not bring him in contact with the students unless he insists the reason that, in the role of teacher, "Jim" he has remained undiscovered.
ED HOWE TALKS HERE MONDAY
Famous Editor Will Tell Why It Is Difficult To Entertain College Students
A treat is in store for those who attend the lecture Monday afternoon at 4:30 o'clock in Fraser Chapel, Ed. Howe of the Atchison College, known as Huese of Potato Hill and the United States, will speak to the students on the subject, "Why It is Difficult to Entertain College Audiences."
Ed. Howe is well known to University audiences, as he has spoken here on several occasions. His simple manliness and his charisma make his subtle wit, never fail to please.
EDITOR OF ATCHISON GLOBE
For years Ed. Howe have ran the Atchison Globe, where he says theroin were widely quoted among them they were interesting.
The main charm of his writing, perhaps, is that he is autobiographical. His whole product is distinctly personal. The writing has a sense of the impression of the writer's sincerity.
The reading public is thirsty for honesty. They do not like to be fooled; they do not permanently like to be amused, lectured, or advised; but they do like to hear your opinion about the news and comes out unafraid, whether they agree with you or not. Ed. How please the publi in this respect.
Dr. Frank Crane, a magazine writer, says Ed. Howe is a literary man in whom there is no guile; neither is there any blub, cant, or insecurity.
JUST IN HIS PRIME
He is now sixty-two years old and just beginning his career, giving to the world the most perfect example of self-expression and doing it purely for the joy of his work. He is a national figure, utterly American, and beyond the reach of praise or blame; or advertising him, or advertising him, and if you barked him he wouldn't look around to see who it is.
This lecture by Mr. Howe is one of the series of lectures which are being given by the department of journe- these lectures are not restricted the journalism students. They are open to all who wish to attend.
DATE SET FOR BARBEQUI
Scribes' Unique Meat Roast to Be November 10
November 10 has been definitely set as the date for the Journalism Harborbeach Chauney Hunter, chairman of the chauney board this morning. This day was found to present the least number of conflicts of any during the early half of this month. A later date is considered more serious because of weather conditions.
All Journalism students, their dates and escorts may obtain tickets to the event. The ticket sale will open on Thursday of this week from the Kanman office.
Judging from the keen interest thus far manifested, every student in the department is "on edge" to go. Few have ever attended a barbecue. Conjectures are many concerning the probable nature of the affair.
Botany Club Hears Dr. Miv
At a meeting of the Botany Club Wednesday evening, Dr. A.J. Mix delivered a lecture on "The History of the Science of Plant Pathology." The club decided to give a banquet Monday, November 13, for Dr. John M. who is University of Chicago, who is to lecture here on "The Ideas of Science."
Huger Jeteh, c17 who is teaching in Alden this year, will attend the Teachers' Association in Topeka the 9th, 10th, and 11th of this month. Jet will be in Lawrence the evening of the 10th to visit friends.
WE'RE GOING TO CLEAN UP ON 'EM
Captain Lindsey, Coach Olcott and 3000 Rooters Are Confident
WOODWARD IN LINEUP
Plunging Half-Back Will Add Strength to Kansas Offensive
Captain Lindsey: "We're going to clean up on 'em."
Coach Oicott: "Kansas ought to win."
9,000 Rooters; "Beat the Sooners!"
There we have, 'in a nutshell, the reasons why Kansas is going to break into the win column tomorrow afternoon when Bennie Owen's Sooners play Field and try to start something with a little round object called a football.
Like the Pheenix from the ashes, the Kansas team is going to rise up out of it's early deflats and tie game, and simply show these Oklahoma there isn't there no such place us the University of Oklahoma on the football map.
WOODWARD BACK ON SQUAD
An rooker who attended practice last month will be why. The team's over its pitching staff, "all they've got more pop since that Aggie game than they've had all season. What's more, its encouraging to see Roek Woodward go plunging under his arm. And Lindsey Moore under his arm. And Lindsey Moore at that little stunt, either—nor Ruble —nor Fiskie. The line is holding better, too, and Humpty Wilson and young Shinn are getting this down to a fine point of perfection. They'll go tomorrow—that's all!"
The Sooners are expected to use the pass tomorrow, and if they do—"Well——be careful, Oklahoma! Be careful!"
The Sooners aren't at all optimistic over their prospects tomorrow. Reports from Norman indicate that their defeat at the hands of both Kendall and Missouri has played havoc with the Sooner organization, having their slumped badly. Furthermore, only of their whole eleven are experienced; the remaining nine are playing varsity ball for the first time this year. The Sooner backfield is admittedly "classy", but their line was absolutely unable to hold Missouri through Coach Owen has been working week in an attempt to better the line's work, he hasn't succeeded.
That's the warning from the Jay-hawkier camp. Coach Oleoff and
their coach are wary.
MAY YET HAVE SURPRISE
Still a Chance to Discipline "Naughty Rallyers"
The fate of the leaders of the naughty rally Friday morning problem is now明确了 at a meeting of the University's national午前末期. The Senate this year has no disciplinary committee, but such a case will be appointed when an occasion demands.
There has been no meeting of the Senate since the rally. Many men supposed to know something of the nomination by members of the Senate, said one, probably some action may be taken by that body at its meeting next week. Chancellor Strong said this morning he does not know whether the matter will be before the Senate, but that it can be bright up by any member of the body.
Manuscript to Publisher
The manuscript for a book on "The Philosophy of Education" has just been sent by William A. McKeever, professor of child welfare, to the MacMillan Publishing Company. This is a continuation of his work on the training of boys and girls in the school and home. Professor McKever wrote a series of works of writing for "The American Motherhood" magazine and a bibliography of child welfare for the state.
Reception For Faculty
Chancellor and Mrs. Strong will give their annual fall reception for all the members of the faculty this evening at their home, 1345 Louisiana. About five hundred invitations were issued for the affair.
The Weather
