That National Convention! Are you a member of the New York dele gation? The Son i or class elects officers today; the Maxwell club tomorrow. The political incubator of James Lincoln Wa'lace Jr. and Col. John Martin Tucker met with a serious accident this week. The third law term begins next Monday. There will bo almost a complete change of studies with the beginning of this term. The lectures of Judge Pawcett to the Jun ior class on insurance is proving the clearest and most interesting course the class has had. The Maxwell club had a lively meeting Saturday evening. The rag was masticated from 7:30 to 10:30 with but short intervals for relief. The whole trouble was over the adoption of a committee report assigning del egates to states for the coming National Con vention. A part of the report was finally re jected and ' 'they drew lots for places. " Though the scrap was a little warm for comfort.yet all the boys were more or less good natured. ItivliIFor thcNational Convention The National Convenlion will bo held in the chapel Saturday Feb. 12. Each of the four debating clubs has been given states hav ing 220 votes in the convention. All have been busy this week organizing their delega tions. Much wire pulling and no little in triguing have boon resorted to in order "to got to bo chairmen and committeemen.'' The organization of the convention will no doubt cause considerable friction among the clubs as each club will have its 'favorite son' to push for the chairmanship. After the organization is perfected doubtless national party politics will be the issue and the "battle of '96" will be fought in minaturo. It would be a very difficult matter to say with any degree of certainty what will be the platform adopted. The political complexion of the convention will be decidedly mixed. Every state in the union will be well repre sented. Every interest will be represented, whether it be Princeton rum, the Bering seals, civil service reform, Hawaii, Cuba, tariff, sil ver in Mexico or even the rights of woman.
