Characterizing the recent "America First" campaign of Mayor W. H. Thompson of Chicago as a political gesture unworthy of serious attention by thinking people, S. H. Strawn of Chicago, president of the American Bar Association, stated to a CRIMSON representative last night that Thompson's efforts to "chase King George out of America" were humiliating and childish...

The idea of non-enforcement of the constitution affects different people in different degrees. Some write their congressman, some tell the family what Bernard McFadden said about it this morning, and some are merely reminded to get a new corkscrew next time they are down in the market district.
