A selected engineering class at Mas

failed to give correct answer to the
question. proposed by Harrington EN-
erson, efficiency counselor OF New
York.
The answer is twenty. But the av-
ersge number estimated by the class
was 434.S.
There were eighty-three answers,
the highest estimate being 10000 and
the lowest zero. Arthur c. Miles
submitted the nearest to the correct
answer. the figures being twenty four.
while the written answer for a few
other students was twenty-five.
As the students delivered their am
swers AIR Emerson undertook to de-
termine the temperament Of each indi-
vidual, depositing in one pile answers
which ne believed came from conserv-
attves and in another those coming
from the rash. The average estimate
Of the conservative pile was 1928,
while the average of the other was
55O.S.
This test" said Mr.. Emerson, may

counties of the district
Ten candidates were entered in the
fight for delegates. Morgan, former
lieutenant governor and publisher of
the Hutchinson Daily News, was ad-
mittedly one of the leaders in the race.
His selection had been generally fore
cast and came on the first ballot.
Carver former state senator and
prominent Praat banker, was unable
to secure a majority of the votes until
the fourth round. Then he walked
away from opposition and delivered
the votes which placed him on the
delegation to Chicago in June.
The Seventh district fight has been
red hot since the opening of the Reno
county primaries when Morgan was
confronted with opposition in his
home county. He swept both the
country precincts and the city of
Hutchinson and won easily His
strength turnout the district gave him
clean lead over opposition candi-
dates.
