Dewey Triumphs In Student Straw
Vote; Truman Lags Behind By 19fc
Within the past week _a poll was
taken to determine which of the
presidential nominees held most fa
vor among Saint Mary’s students.
Thomas E. Dewey, Eepublican pres
idential candidate, led the other
three running mates, Truman, Thur
mond, and Wallace, with 50% of
the total student body. Truman re
ceived 31% of the total, Thurmond
12.5%, and Wallace none. Although
Dewey received 50% of the ballots,
70% of the students were Democrats,
12.5% Eepublicans, and 11% Dixie-
crats. Five students were Independ
ents.
Upon being asked why they cast
their votes as they did, some of the
students stated the following:
Nancy Spoolman: I am not en
thusiastic about any of the ^ candi
dates ; being a Democrat, I will vote
to follow the Democratic party.
Charlotte Wallin: I voted for
Dewey because he seems to be capa
ble of taking over and succeeding
in the job that Truman has not
proved competent of doing.
Shirley Crenshaw: I am a Dixie-
crat and for Thurmond because his
platform is States’ Eights.
Jean Stockton: If Truman had
had the right men to work under
him, his administration might have
been successful. As it is now, Tru
man does not have the backbone to
carry on the work and to make deci
sions alone.
Mary Smith: Truman had never
had any executive experience before
last year, and he proved himself not
to have any ability either. _ On the
other hand, DeAvey proved his execu-
ti\'e ability as goA'ei'nor and District
Attorney of Ucav York.
Margaret Gaston: I think Tru
man should have a second chance to
proA’e his abilities. The Eepublican
Congress did not allow Truman to
make progress, hut if he has a Demo
cratic Congress, foreign relations,
high prices, and labor problems
might be settled.
Incidentally, out of 30 faculty
and staff members questioned, there
proved to be 25 Democrats, 3 Eepub
licans and 3 Dixiecrats. Truman
received 20 of their votes, Dewey,
8, and Thurmond, 2.
