...Labor candidates were victorious for no other reason than that each had two or more opponents who cut each other's throats. This year such throat- cutting has been reduced to a scientific minimum by broad agreement among all parties supporting the National Government not to run rival candidates (though they did this in a few cases...
...this editorial has been quoted correctly, it is but another instance of the CRIMSON's customary rudeness and lack of tact. From this editorial, it would seem that the CRIMSON is definitely attempting to antagonize an honored rival and to attract cheap notoriety to itself. The CRIMSON charges that the lack of interest in the Harvard-Army game is evidenced by the apparent unwillingness of Harvard undergraduates to make the trip to West Point.

Grinning wildly, he tears up thousands of important papers, stamps the pate of the chief passport inspector with a rubber stamp. The Marxes go to a party. They have contracted simultaneous alliances with two rival gangsters aboard ship. At the party, one gangster kidnaps his rival's daughter. She is the girl whom Zeppo admires and when she has been retrieved from a barn, in which Harpo makes advances to a calf, the picture ends...
