BULL MOOSE ACTIVITY
SPURRED BY ELECTION

President Collier Does Not Think
That Straw Vote Is True
Criterion.
Despite the fact that Roosevelt
votes were scarce in the straw ballot
taken by the Emerald, the Bull Moos
ers are still hanging on to their col
ors.
Andrew Collier, president of the T.
R. organization, and Ralph Cake,
chairman of the executive committee,
both say that they have plans up their
sleeves which they are going to spring
in order to secure votes for Roosevelt
in the general election, and in mak
ing the organization a permanent
one.
In an interview today, President
Collier said: “We are not defeated
by this straw ballot. We were aware
that the following of Roosevelt oh
the University campus had waned
from what it was last spring, but this
fact carries with it very little weight
with the Progressives in the Univer
sity at the present time. In voting
for Roosevelt, the Bull Moosers are
proving to the other people that they
have departed from the old line par
ties and “standpatism,” and have al
lied themselves to the Progressive
cause.”
"We do not believe that the vote
taken yesterday is a true representa
tion of the Roosevelt sentiment here
or in the State. The Wilson men or
ganized early and by skillful cam
paigning instituted a popular senti
ment for their candidate; and as a re
sult, a great many students voted for
Wilson because everybody seemed to
be ‘doin’ it.’ ”
"Another thing in Roosevelt’s favor
is the fact that the majority of Bull
Moose followers in the University are
legal voters, while the majority of the
women or men not old enough to vote
followed the Wilson crowd, some go
ing with the Taft delegation.
“We are not defeated as an organ
ization, and we are in the1 University
to stay.”

Decorate 1‘oles With Litho
graphs.
Like a chameleon, that changes ex
ternal appearance at will, were the
telephone poles in the vicinity of the
University Tuesday evening. This
was due to the efforts of rival poli
tical camps, in an attempt to influence
the straw vote held on the campus to
day.
The Wilson forces were the first to
sally forth, armed with paste buckets
and posters to the extent of 260 litho
graphs of the Princeton school mas
ter. The diligent ones succeeded in
decorating a majority of the poles in
the neighborhood of the University.
Pictures were placed liberally on the
Kincaid fence and in conspicuous
places in front of the various houses.
The Wilson atmosphere was too
much for those returning from sim
ulating study at the Library. As a
result, the uniformity of the decorat
ings was marred to the extent of a re
moval of many of the signs by Bull
Moosers and others.
It was not long before' a marauding
hand of Taftites were abroad with
pictures of the President and the now
deceased Vice-President. Likenesses
of the two leading standpatters were
not the only ammunition of the G. O.
P. enthusiasts, for along with them
were posted a printed poster, with
“Another Freshman Outrage” as the
headline. This latest piece of scare
head literature urged the students to
show Oregon spirit in the hitherto un
known way of “Standing Pat for Big
Bill.”
The Taft supporters then proceeded
to tear down the remaining Wilson
posters, and put their own in their
place, which declared that Woodrow
Wilson might have posted numerous
football players, and even hinted that
being a supporter of the orange and
black, he might favor 0. A. C.
