An election without rival presidential candidates would be just too tame, they decided "way back there in the early days of the winter quarter, so they just forgot about the whole thing. But look at things now. Bill Pear son, the Lee O'Daniel of this campus, is conducting a medicine show cam paign against Davis that many of the wise boys concede will draw down quite a few votes, even though he has no party backing. And "for the first time since politics dipped its finger in Daily Tar Heel editor elections (whenever the first editor was elected), three men are stumping for the job; MORTICIAN Officially speaking, the whole vote chasing business starts tomorrow, when the freshman class, already bap tized in politics last fall, jumps the gun on everybody else and makes nom inations in assembly at 10 :S0 a. m. Student Body President Jim Joyner will officiate at the rites. And on Tuesday 48 additional names will go on the books, unless more lone wolves climb in the ring. Pearson and Walt Kleeman, independent for Daily Tar Heel editor, are in the field.

All three nominees, Kleeman, Martin Harmon and Dewitt Barnett, are non-fraternity men. STATEMENT Kleeman's nomination came in the following statement: "Believing that Walter Kleeman is the logical man for the job of editing' the Daily Tar Heel next year, be cause: 1) he is the only independent, non-political candidate; 2) he will give the campus a fighting Tar Heel; 3) he is the only candidate who has given the campus a chance to know his mind through a signed column; 4) he is the only candidate who can give the cam pus an IMPARTIAL Tar Heel next year; 5) his wide experience both on the campus and in newspaper work gives him the best qualifications for the job; 6) he has written as many editorials as the other two candidates combined; we, therefore, nominate Walter Kleeman for the editorship of the Daily Tar Heel."
