Harvard men will remember that H. U. N. S., or Harvard University Nihilist Society, announced on Thursday its own birth and principles, condemning all presidential candidates, holding "100 per cent Americanism" to be unconstitutional, ridiculing college politics, and abhorring all partisanship. The society also announced at that time that it would hold a monster torchlight parade on Monday, the day before election...

Among the papers of the large cities, this politically predigested propaganda is usually cast out.

The Federation had labelled Davis as "unacceptable" and had let it go at that. The Federation, to make it clear that it was not playing favorites between Republicans and Democrats, had attacked General Dawes for his "consistent anti-union activity." Said the organization, through its spokesman (not Mr. Gompers but its Vice President, Matthew Woll*) : "General Dawes has said that Samuel Gompers and other Trade Union officials are more concerned about the right of Union men to assault and murder...
