Polk Amarillo V \ 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. ? ? ? ? M. G. Rekoff ’50 'E. N. (Huzzy) Roots ’50 L. Z. Schubert '50 I G. A. Neff ’50 W. C.
