Over 450 Votes Cast
In War Whoop Poll
Lyndon Baines Johnson will have little trouble winning
the Presidential election if the more than 450 students and
faculty polled in the War Whoop's Mock Election voiced the
opinion of the nation.
Johnson won 337 of the 465 votes cast in the presidential
race while his opponent Barry Goldwater received 128 of
the votes.
In the senatorial race Ralph
Yarbrough received 281 votes
while George Bush won 176 of
the ballots. John Connally
created a tremendous landslide
over Jack Crichton with a 390 to
70 count.
Johnson who received 72i
of the McMurry vote is by far the
mos1; popular candidate on the
campus yet the ballots which
were not marked straight party
indicated a much closer race be
tween the Democrats and Repub
hcans in the presidential
clec-
tion. In the mixed ballots 76
were for Johnson while 67 were
cast for Goldwater.
On the mixed ballots Republi-
can candidate Bush ran up a total
of 115 votes as compared to Yar-
brough's 20 votes. Connally was
overwheelming choice on all bal-
lots except the stiaight Repub
lican tickets.
In the last presidential election
the campus muck election again
sponsored by the War Whoop
totaled only 170 voters with four
illegal ballots. Richard Nixon
and John Kennedy tied for the
presidency on campus.
This year's election boasted 465
voters with only one illegal bal-
lot one that was not numbered
If all McMurry students could
vote in the November elections
the Reservation would vote over-
whelmingly Democratic and Lyn-
don B. Johnson would be Mc-
Murry's choice for President of
the United States.
According to the War Whoop
261 people voted a straight Demo-
cratic ticket and 61 voted a
straight Republican ticket. There
were 143 split ballots received in
the election.
Compared to Dr. S. B. Thomp-
son's Poll of his government and
history students a month ago the
War Whoop Mock Election
showed President Johnson get-
ting 73 per cent with Thompson's
Poll 65 per cent and Goldwater
27 per cent in the mock election
and 35 per cent in Thompson's
Poll.
