Wc consider it u distinct honor to
bo n member of the. Great American
Youth. We read in the magazines nnd
the newspapers that wc arc becoming
more sincere. We read just tho other
day that wc nrc considering things
more seriously: Marriage Sex Sin
and Salvation. And War. Ten years
ogo there wasn't any necking. It was
petting. Teh years ngo tho Great
American Youth took up collection for
Gin. But today he attends classes
on Marriage and Morals Home Bud-
geting and What to Do When Baby
Cries.
And with a great display of Sin-
cerity and Purpose H-SU studcg
organize the "Garner For Presi-
dent" club first of its kind on any
American university or college
campus so far as is known.
Resolving that peace prosperity
nl conservatism can be maintained
toMi Cactus Jack at the helm of this
"radical liberal-ism that is engulfing
the entire nation" supporters say
"around the corner with Garner" or
"Jive With Cactus Jack."
Anyway the organization is sin-
cere in its work belittling collegi-
ate goldfish swallowers and phono-
graph record munchera. nowerer
with campaign funds Cactus Jack's
favorite drink will be served at next
meeting of the club Tuesday night
in the BRAND office.
Twenty-four candidates with possi-
bly two more names to be added are
in the political race for student of-
fices the largest field of candidates
in many years. By Monday morn-
ing two weeks before the primary
the campus will be plastered with
stickers placards and signs and
candidates cards are rolling off the
presses by thousands. Already one
political aspirant has arranged for a
swing band to sway votes his way.
Political cliques are forming and
candidates backed by a secret or-
ganization are favored slightly over
their opponents.
rBRAND of course will remain
impartial in the campaign favoring
no candidate over another but will
run the platform of each student in
the race free of charge in the next
issue.
And a poll will be conducted with
tabulated results in the April 29th
issue to show voting trends and pre-

political way between now nnd elec

tics chapel programs and tho annual

aspirants for offices gain the favor of
the voters with pink lemonade and
rash promises.

field with a possible fourth. Like-
wise the vice-presidency and the sec
retaryship of the student council is

RESOLUTION
We the students of Hardin-Simmons
University asserting our-
selves as citizens of the U. S. here-
by bind ourselves into an organiza-
tion to sponsor the nomination and
election of-the Hon. John Nance
Garner as PRESIDENT OF THE
UNITED STATES.
We believe he represents the con-
servative element in government
an element which America because
of the radical surge of liberalism
during the last few years is need-
ing. Because he has been a servant
of the people for over 'thirty-five
years in the Congress and as Vice-
President of the United States we
believe he will not be the tool of
