Representatives of four political parties will speak from the same platform in the Union Monday evening, October 18. The speakers will be Congressman Joseph Walsh, Senator Gilbert M. Hitchcock of Nebraska, Swinburne Hale '05 and Dr. Norman Thomas. This announcement was made at the first meeting of the Student Liberal Club, under whose auspices the speeches will be conducted.

If reliance may be placed upon the reports c. Three reputable morning papers, there is little in the way of vituperation approaching blasphemy, that this Australian visitor did not head upon such newspapers, schools, churches and citizens of the United States...
