...Connecticut Merit System Association. No figurehead, he gave up a planned trip to Murray Bay and worked through the heat of the summer months, developing this organization. He literally stumped the entire State, delivering talks before large audiences whom he described as follows: "Their lack of knowledge on this vital subject is appalling, but, once informed, their enthusiasm for our movement is equally encouraging." In the short space of three months, Mr. Taft has lifted an old but relatively obscure association to front-page limelight so forcibly that for the first time in the history of Connecticut all political parties...
...economic log jam", Secretary Hull displayed in Minneapolis last week a naive and childlike conception of the havoc which Roosevelt policies have brought to our foreign trade. The combined effects of AAA crop reduction and the reciprocal agreements have closed foreign markets to many of our vital crops like cotton, and at the same time opened the gates wide for the importation from abroad of products much better produced at home. Clearly a policy which calls for slaughtering cattle in the north-west and then importing more from Canada cannot appeal to the vote of any pocket-wise consumer...
...this "fireside talk" quality of the Marquess of Linlithgow's speech-afterward broadcast in native tongues-which popularly caught on, but the speech also contained extraordinarily meaty and precise encouragement and instructions for thousands of Britons and Indians performing all sorts of functions vital to the Raj.

With everything dependent on the Viceroy's personal success in winning Indians to ignore the malcontents who were urging them to boycott the first election under...
...enough that there is such a class at large without fostering it or swelling its ranks from within Harvard's walls. Intolerance of any sort is unwanted here, especially political intolerance at a time when men and women everywhere are taking greater and greater interest in this vital question. If our democratic principles are to continue, then freedom of thought, discussion, and organization must have its first hold in the universities. Otherwise such as has marred Dudley Hall's reputation, puerile as they are and indicative of only a small percentage of the commuting body, have no proper function here...
