WARD ELECTED PRESIDENT HOKUM PARTY SWEEPS THE SCHOOL WINS OVERWHELMING VICTORY OVER BRACK Hokum Party Sweeps the School Seated quietly in his pala- tial home on Linden Street, surrounded by his family and a few of his closest friends, Bernard Ward last evening listened to the re- ports of his party's sweeping victory as they came in over his crystal set. First to re- port was the Lunch Counter casting its three electoral votes solidly for Ward. This was ex- pected by Mr. Leo Caplan, campaign manager, because of Mr Ward's long affiliation with the food industry at Drury's upper store. As the votes piled up indicating one of the greatest vic- tories in the Hokum Party's history, Mr. Caplan 's face was wreathed in smiles while Miss Konstance Kreimer, manager of the women's committee, was openly jubilant. It is rumored that Miss Kreimer will be offered the post of Secretary of the Interior in President Ward's cabinet. Her special charge will be to see that better meals are served at the Lunch Room. Brack Admits Defeat Candidate Brack of the Anti-Hokum Party early in the evening left his home and after an unhurried meal at Luke's Diner proceeded to the Boy Scout Headquarters to await the re- turns. Mr. Brack looked wearied and showed the effects of his campaign tours in South Fitchburg, Cleghorn, and Saima Farm. The weariness of their leader was communicated to his followers and there was little enthu- siasm in the big room. The silence was broken only by the ring of the telephone bell announcing that another nail had been driven into the candi- date's political coffin. At midnight the Red and Gray was on the street announcing the election of Ward and at 12.30 Mr. Brack sent the following telegram to his successful rival: I congratulate you on your victory. I admit I was wrong. I did not believe that the American people were so fond of their hokum. Plans Southern Trip This morning President-elect Ward stated that he planned to make a good-will tour of Shirley and West- minster. He will start at once, leaving THE HOKUM PLATFORM Following are the principle planks of the party platform. Some were brought in slightly warped, but were hammered into shape by the following committee: John Randall, Gertrude Salny, Dora Seacrist, Bunny O'Con- nor, and Effie Longsjo. Immigralion — We favor the present quota for Shirley and Westminster. Prohibition — We favor a stricter enforcement of the prohibition of weak chocolate milk at the lunch counter. Tax Reduction — We believe the price for tickets to the Senior Play should be reduced for all seniors. Secondly, we protest against the uncalled for rise in the price of salads at the lunch counter. They are no better than they used to be. Labor — It is our firm belief that the teachers are working too hard and we are in favor, therefore, of shorter lessons. Foreign Policy — We favor the establishment of an international court to adjudicate all disputes arising between Cleghorn and West Fitchburg. Townsend Harbor on the famous yacht Old Ironsidfes. He will be ac- companied by Mr. Sullivan's pet poodle. Laddie. While on his tour, Mr. Ward will deliver several speeches which are now being composed by his secretary, Garth Huxtable, formerly star salesman at Pierce's Shoe Empo- rium. It has not been decided whether Mrs. Ward (nee Mary Chisholm) will go south with her husband or stay and keep the home fires burning. Loss of Women's Votes Defeated Me Mr. Brack, when interviewed this morning, was feeling rather cut up. In fact, he said, his razor had slipped. When asked to what he attributed his stunning defeat, he replied, The women did it. The Girls' Debating Club vote went to my opponent. Mr. Brack continued, thrusting a stick of Oh! Boy into his cheek, I was also the victim of a whispering campaign that I am a woman-hater. Thomas Dailey, Mr. Brack's cam- paign manager, who resigned his posi- tion as mechanic's helper at Fitzsim- mons' garage, said his plans for the future, like a balloon tire, were up in the air. Statement of Miss Kreimer, the Committeewoman from the South Side Miss Kreimer, in a statement issued today, said, ! attribute this great vic- tory to the loyalty of the girls of the High School to one who has so nobly set forth such high ideals of womanhood in his speeches before the Boys' De- bating Club. Cabinet Possibilities President-elect Ward, when ques- tioned about his cabinet, had nothing to say. The rumor is going around the bridge tables, however, that Mr. Caplan, the manager of the campaign, will be made Secretar ' of Commerce, because of his well-known business (Continued on Page 2) How I Retain my Beauty Witli my own Creams and Cosmetics Room 25 K.
