Politics Reign oh T. U. Campus During Students9 Election < Special to The Herald * AUSTIN, May 14.—The Texas university campus, and the most amaz ing student election that ever hung fire, disprove the pompous theory that politics is a game only for the professionals. Nowhere has the science of politics flowered in greater perfection than among the undergraduates at • Texas.” Here, the youths to whom a pouciai campagin is out an end. and devoid of the glamor of a future occupation, have developed all the arts and artifices and statecraft in the hothouse of student elections. The old-time politisians would say it is impossible, but the students in the vision and zeal and enterprise of youth have stepped out and prov en that the mechanics of one of the oldest professions can be worked by the novice. The campus this past week had its thrill of the closest student race in the history—a dead heat. In the result of this election, which could have been reached only in about one of 10.000.000 chances, and in finding the way out, and in the manner and Individuality of the race and its aftermath, politics and sportsmanship have mingled in a form that will prove a valuable ex ample to the politician out on the broader field of public affairs, i Spurgeon Bell of Austin and Rob- j ert M. Payne of Malakoff ended i.i | an exact tie on the fourth recount j of their votes for president of the Students’ association. This, despite the believedly tie-proof preferential ballot. Now. another election will be held Thursday for the officr with the two men. who rec:ivrd each 1,431 votes, firsts and seconds, as the rival candidates. Friends of both men made the re counts. First Bell was declared elected by seven votes. Then the vote was recounted, and Payne led I bv six votes. Another recount, and I Payne led 11 votes. Then, with four friends of each of the student can- ! didates supervising it, the entire | ballot list was checked. "Reporter" j votes- a few of them, and votes where fictitious names had been recorded—were thrown out, and an other recount gave an exact tie. Both sides were satisfied, and agreed to the call of another election. Both the candidates are fraternity men. Alexander, only barb in this race, polled 381 votes. "The race was on the up and up,” Payne said. "There were no per sonalities. The race run strictly on the merits and hard work of the candidates." He declared the runoff will be on the same level. And Spurgeon Bell, his rival, af firmed this. There will be few long-winded speeches in the run off race cli maxed by Thursday's election, the rival candidates said. Hand-to-hand work among the students, and the distribution of cards and placards will be the main activity in the race. Payne is a mid-law. holding the B. A. degree already. Bell is a senior academ. Bell is a Pi Kappa Alpha. Payne Is an Acacia frat man. Bell is a graduate of Austin high school, last year’s president of the university Y. M. C. A., member of tho varsitv debating team: two-year member of student assembly; acad em school university union drive. It is the first and only time of an absolute tie under the preferen tial ballot system; and if the per centage doesn’t fail, it will be the last until about A. D. 2177. It isn’t the first time though that recounts have changed the outcome of campus races. It isn’t the first close race. The editorship of the Dally Texan a few years ago was the closest race they can remember up to now. Sam Johnson led John Sammons by sev en votes, with Tom Rousse third man. In a recount, Sammons had a lead of two votes. The two men made an agreement that after a canvass of the "repeaters" and fic titious votes, they would abide the result of another recount That gave Johnson the office by three votes. In the 1928 elections. Tom Hol loway won the office of managing editor of the Cactus by 15 votes over Holly Brock. In another race for managing ed itor of the Cactus. Wtlliard Perkins won the office, its honors and emol uments by a seven vote lead over Joe Presnail. Apparently elected one day. beat en the next, then elected, then beat en, Payne and Bell have gone through the tangle of the vote re counts without a harsh word of campaigning; and there has been, both sav. no mud slinging in the race There won’t be in the new election, they say. Sportsmanship, backed by all the alert efforts of a vigorous campaign, will be relied on by both to win. instead of villifi nmon and mudslinging.
