\ DEMOCRATIC PRIMARY
, • ! I
itor, The Batallion:
To the best of our knowledge
ver since the summer of 1906 the
tate of Texas has been holding
mocratic^ primaries. Is it such a
errible crime for the Corps of Ca
dets to follow in the footsteps of
(the great state of Texas ? It is our
icontension that few students
on the campus knew five of the
candidates for Senator-at Large
well enough to know how they
"would represent the studenjt body,
fit is obvious that the Corps fav-
jored the alleged “fix”; otherwise
lit wouldn’t have been so complete.
We also believe th*t an unsigned
editorial of this nature (Let’s Not
Start Something We Can’t Stop. .)
has nb more place j in The Batt
than an unsigned letter to the edi
tor. This editorial could haye been
written by one or both of the Co
editors OR someone on the edi
torial board. ? ? ? ?

(Editors’ Note—Since when
has the Democratic Party re
fused to allow certain names on
the ballot? Yet, unfortunately
enough, this very thing did hap-’ s '
pen in the Corps “primary”, in
several instances.
(It Is the policy of the co
editors that editorials shall not
be signed. However, every edi-
toral which is published is read
and approved by both co-editors

bility for the material contained
