STUDENTS WAX WARM
SENIOR CLASS AT STATE UNIVER-
SITY IN POLITICAL FIGHT.
Letter Campaign Instituted to Smash
machine" Which Is Now Alleged
to Control 1903 Glass.

MADISON. Wis, Oct. Do Special.
Modern political methods, unique in
novation III class politics ut the univer
sity. are to be used in the coming senior
class election which will - held this
week. No election in rece- years has
brought out such antagonism as the pres
ent one and the outcome Is anXiously
awaited by the members of the senior
class.
On one ticket, Helmer Swenhot of
Madison, captain of this years basket
ball team, is running while the opposi-
ton has nominated Franklin Natwick
of Grand Rapids, Wis. the varsity hur-
dlcr. for the presidency. Both are stu
dents in the college of engineering. Sven
holt is known To be IA leader III the non
fraternity crowd and it is understood
that the fraternities are trying to break
the backs OF those who are behind his
campaign.
This years graduating class has the
reputation of being one in which poll
ties have been carried to the extreme and
each election has been followed by
charges of improper management.
Swcnhot's hackers have dominated poll
ties in the class since the first and it Is
said that it is the opposition to this al
legged "czarism" which is bringing into
use modern methods of campaigning
Letters setting forth qualifications of
the two candidates and explaining the
situation have been sent out to every
member of the class of 1909, together
with Il request that every student lend
his support to break the machine.
