...Army and all the Navy stayed loyal to President Grau and Emperor Batista. Four field guns were unlimbered, trained on the fort. The first few shells were completely wild, either kicking up dirt harmlessly below the fort or shrieking off into Havana's residential district thousands of yards beyond with most embarrassing results. But soon they dropped shell after shell into the fort. With cannon, anti-aircraft and machine guns the rebels replied, scored their greatest success by smashing a field gun on Burro Hill, mile and a half away, with two shots from a little one-pounder...
...forgot the fundamentals of football. It tried to pass from its own 15-yd. line. A Purdue guard intercepted the pass, trotted across the goal. A Notre Dame fumble let Purdue forward pass to a second touchdown. Sheer demoralization permitted the third score. Three times Notre Dame penetrated beyond Purdue's 10yd. line, once to the 1-yd. line, only to collapse. It was Notre Dame's fourth shut-out of the season...

Perhaps the reaction to Tammany is strong enough to coalesce the Major's support beyond election day. One can do no more than say that this has never been the case in the past. Reform candidates have always been drawn, and with great force, to one or to the other of the mammoth stools which our party system has erected. Chicago has tried the ostrich device of making municipal elections non-partisan, but in this case the old lines have undergone only a metaphysical submersion. Until philosophers are kings, or the kings and princes of this world...
