GENERAL ELECTION WAS SUCCESSFUL
OFFICERS CHOSEN BY AUS TRALIAN BALLOT SYSTEM.
Senior and Freshman Tickets Run "Straight"- Splits in Other Two Classes.
The first general class elections were held yesterday with the result that the senior and th freshman tickets were elected straight and the junior and sophomore tickets split.
The election was held under the Australian ballot system, and although it was the first attempt at a general election ever held here under that system, it was done so very pleasantly surprised. But the matter of feeling among the classes never has been stronger at any election evl dld in the history of the University.
There were two senior tickets, and although a great deal of talking was done, not much printed matter was circulated by either side, but with the other three classes it was entirely different. Supporters of the three tickets in the junior class began Tuesday to pass out hand bills and from that time until the polls closed at 4 o'clock on Friday,the campus was flooded with "literature," most of it saying that no appointments had been made by either would-be president. One side even went so far as to get out an affidavit to that effect sworn to before a notary. The sophomore class had the hottest election of any of the four classes. This was unusual, for the sophomores, as a rule, poll the smallest number of votes of any of the four classes. More votes were cast in the sophomore class than in any election previously held.
Senior Class.
The Student Council handled the election in the best possible manner and it was a great deal more satisfactory than any other general election ever held in the University.

Vice-president—Charles Haller

The frauds were easily detected by a comparison of the registration books of the different polling places. When the books were examined this morning the names of several men were found to appear twice or more on different books. To make the evidence more conclusive, it is said that several of the judges noticed certain students vote first for the senior ticket and later leaving the junior booth.
One Man Voted Three Times— Detected When Registration Books Were Examined.
That there was illegal voting in the class elections yesterday became known today. At least one man is known to have cast three votes in as many different classes. One or two more are guilty of voting twice. In every instance the men who cast two ballots voted once for senior candidates and the second time for junior nominees.
Hospital Association
While the names of those guilty of the illegal voting have not yet been made public, the matter has been referred to the Student Council by the election judges who discovered the franks. The council will start a rigid investigation Monday morning and will gather all necessary evidence against the men before taking action. What form that action will take is not yet known. There is no doubt, however, but that there will be considerable punishment meted out by the student governing association. The constitution of the council does not provide the kind of punishment in such cases, but leaves it to the discretion of the council members to decide what shall be done. It might be a private or a public reprimand, or might even be as great as explosion from the school if the council deems such a punishment necessary.
As soon as the votes had been counted in the class election yesterday, a backer of one of the victorious tickets entered a long-distance telephone both in Fraser hall and made arrangements with a Kansas City firm for a little party celebrating the victory. It is said that the telephone conversation, which gave the names of the persons at the Lawrence and Kansas City ends of the line, was overheard by a University employee, who "listened n" while the conversation was in progress.
The party was held last night in a corn field a mile and a half north of Lawrence.
Cheer Leaders Try Out.
The tryout for assistant cheer leaders at the college sing last evening afforded much rooting practice and considerable amusement for the students at the meeting. The following men led the rooters in the various yells of the University: Charles Dolde, Vance Day, Orlin Weed, Volney Hilford and C Cayot. The men tried out again at the game this afternoon and in a week the assistants will be selected.
One or two new yells were tried last evening and the words to the song "What's the Matter with K. U" were learned.
