...tariff. Smith is a Democrat; but in these days of scrambled politics it does not follow that a Democrat--especially a Democrat from an industrial State--is necessarily a free trader. How far Smith would go in the matter of tariff reduction is an open question...
Though Prince Carol abdicated of his own free will, and in Italy where he could scarcely have been forcibly brought to do so (TIME, Jan. 11, 1926), he began almost at once to itch for the sceptre which would otherwise have been his when King Ferdinand of Rumania died (TIME, Aug. 1).

By this means, it is believed that more students will feel free to express their views, and thus a representative poll of the undergraduate feeling in regard to the Stadium question will be made. Several graduates also will probably attend and express their views, for the decision on this question affects them more vitally than the undergraduates, especially in regard to the obtaining of tickets...
