...going manager George Byrne '38 was master of ceremonies, introducing, between limericks, a long list of speakers that included Captain Charles G. Hutter, Captain-elect Rusty Greenhood, Coach Hal Ulen, Carroll Getchell, of the H.A.A., Lawrence Johnson, Boston A.A.U. official, and Dr. Eugene Wyman...
...Senators are chosen by electorates of persons themselves elected by universal suffrage. The electoral districts were fixed many years ago before the great enlargement of the city population, and thus it takes 23,000 Paris voters to elect one senatorial delegate, whereas in neighboring districts a delegate might be elected by only 2,700 rustics. Custom and usage make it probable that a Frenchman will be elected a Senator only after he has spent years learning the political ropes, serving usually for some years as a Deputy. Although predominantly conservative the Senators are violently republican and have a strong tendency...
November. Of the 48 U. S. States, 33 will elect Governors this fall. Of the 33, six are in the South where Republicans do not expect to elect candidates, seven are West, where Republican machines have broken down completely. Of the 20 left.

Republican balance sheet as of April 1 is much less impressive. The party has no leader. The only claimants to the title -Messrs. Hoover, Landon, Borah et al.- are not compelling personalities. G. O. P. had 17,000,000 votes at last count but these were able to elect only five Governors, seven Senators, 89 Congressmen. It has no patronage to speak of. In place of able Mr. Farley it has brash Mr. Hamilton, whose talents, whatever they may be, have not had a chance to develop in the atmosphere of stale controversy which has surrounded him since...
...Martin's faults. Less sanguine than the Gallup poll, he visualizes not much more than 75 new seats this year and would probably settle now for 65. The Illinois primary, though internal warfare between the State's two Democratic machines may help him to elect six Republican Representatives in addition to the six who represent the party now, will not be much more than a preliminary gun next week. By the end of May there will be 95 Republican candidates in the field and by the end of July, 156. To Joe Martin, the candidate is always more...
