...that the pro-UMT side was not given a hearing at Saturday's rally, and defends the heckling on this ground. But the meeting was frankly advertised as a rally,--not a forum, or a discussion group, or a debate in any sense. And surely Mr. Cobb does not contend that the mob of cat-callers had any intention of engaging in serious discussion, or that they attended the meeting with any purpose other than that of disruption.

The transaction of the History Department, on the other hand, is of a questionable nature...
That both parties should contend that the Wallace movement will have a beneficial effect upon their particular party's chances is only to be expected. This far in advance of the election no one can be sure just what will happen when the "common man" actually marks his little "x" on the ballot...
