...opening the Fall campaign with respectable professorial speakers and non-partisan debates, the Student Union manages to put on a facade of official virtue. However, official virtue will be but small consolation to the disillusioned yearling if he finds that his money is to be used for such preciously futile pranks as strikes against non-existent wars. The Union can be constructive; it is up to the freshmen to help make...
...other leading figures in the Republican set-up of much sounder calibre. Frank Knox, a bombastic publisher and bitter foe of William Randolph Hearst, has called a truce in the Chicago newspaper war for the duration of the campaign, bearing out the old saying, "politics makes strange bed-fellows". Ranging next in importance behind the standard bearers one finds a line of mid-western politicians:--hardly men of cabinet timber or potential leaders in the government of the United States.

In the New York Times and Herald Tribune...

The co-operatives grow, getting recruits from a sharecrop per's family, a girl who escapes from white slavers, an anti-Fascist Italian barber, religious fanatics, diet faddists, a young doctor, disruptive Communists, well-to-do radicals. The EPIC campaign shakes it and the contradictory government pol icy toward self-help co-operatives nearly wrecks it. Sig Soren (now happily mar ried to the girl who escaped from the white slavers) visits Washington, confers with President Roosevelt, and the book ends with his wondering what stand the President will take...
