...America who wield influence with the masses of the people, William Randolph Hearst is one of the most powerful. Because of this power, he must be judged in the light of his use of it. Mr. Donham is content that Hearst "is against communism, fascism, low tariffs, the League of Nations, the World Court, the NRA, and regimentation of economic life," and claims that in this respect his position is little different from that of papers such as the New York Herald-Tribune...
...Donham cannot see the elephant because of his tusks. He forgets that the American people were whipped into a frenzy against Spain in 1898 by William Randolph Hearst's bitter fight against the domination of Joseph Pulitzer. He forgets that this very sensationalism he concedes in nine cases out of ten, vitiates Hearst's correctness of attitude. He forgets that Hearst has for fifteen years filled the American people with a pack of lies about Russia and Japan. He forgets that Hearst is for a navy second to none--whatever that may be. He forgets that only last winter Hearst...
...Since then many an individual Methodist and a few conferences have continued to move leftward, without exhibiting anything more substantial than warm, pious discontent.

By the time one-quarter of Williams College had signed the petition the theatre manager canceled his contract, left Hearstlings fantastically fuming that Williams' President Tyler Dennett had instigated the petition to get publicity for his college. Quickly the boycott spread. Last fortnight the Amherst, Mass., theatre gave in at first appearance...
...elfish News, as Yalemen quickly realized, was burlesquing William Randolph Hearst, but elsewhere in the land Red scares were no laughing matter. In Massachusetts Governor Curley signed a bill requiring every public school teacher to lead her class in a weekly salute to the flag. In Illinois a legislative committee heard Drugman Charles Rudolph Walgreen repeat his charges that the University of Chicago turned his buxom niece Lucille Norton into a Communist. California's legislature, angered by 18 University of California professors who ventured to protest its anti-radical bill, toyed with another bill which would bring...
