Criticism of Governor Dever's administration, with the usual political generalities, has come from those who seem loathe to examine his record of accomplishment. It is understandable that his opponents do not wish to admit that since Governor Dever assumed leadership almost thirteen thousand veterans housing units have been built. Nor do they wish to acknowledge that the greatly overcrowded, understaffed hospitals have become agencies of hope by the addition, under Dever's administration, of six thousand new hospital beds, increased and more efficient personnel and the introduction of the best modern medical facilities and methods.

Your unfair editorial pictures Dever turning his back and whimpering "What can I do" when Corrections Commissioner MacDowell leveled 27 complaints against Dr. VanWaters, superintendent of a penal institution.

Muchnick '28 Chr'm., Boston School Comm...
...bitterness and public name-calling between the groups that marked previous elections. Two years ago, the HYRC ran as ad in the CRIMSON attacking the HLU as "political charlatans" for its "fakery and moral bankruptcy" in challenging Republican gubernatorial nominee Arthur W. Coolidge '06 to debate Gov. Dever via sound truck in Harvard Square. The HLU retorted in kind...
