Politics!
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.
