But Mr. Camp informed us on Thanksgiving-day that he feared he could not give up his position in Yale College. The success of Yale on both the base-ball and foot-ball fields is largely due to the admirable management of Mr. Camp, who seems to be naturally fitted for a position of the kind. [Clipper...

The candidate is also assisted in his canvass by a local committee which directs its energies toward bringing out a large vote, a thing which is very difficult to do, and consequently on its success in this direction depends materially the result of the election.
