...false claims for the prosperity of the country and kindred propaganda, cheated, so my correspondents feel, our party out of the Presidency." The arch-Republican New York Herald Tribune replied: "If Governor Roosevelt and his correspondents have any evidence of illegal attempts to influence the 1928 election, that evidence ought to go to the legislature or the courts.

The smallest experience of student gatherings and student conversation ought sufficiently to reveal the visionary character of such an expectation. What will happen in the chance gatherings of the new Houses will be exactly like what happens in any present chance undergraduate gathering: sports, sex, the latest political scandal, examination grievances and the like will be the topics of conversation...
