The students association wants re-
sults. It will either go forward or
backward. If you are an honest stu-
dent and have the interest of McMur-
ry at heart you will vote but one way.
That Is tho right way. The way to
vote right is to cast your ballot only
after serious thought and with a con-
science. Do not vote for personalities
for class distinctions or for literary
cliques; but vote for the capable man
or woman. When you vote for the
capable person you are rendering a
service to your school. When you
ote the other way you hae hurt
your school. What !tlnd of a student
are you?
