...liable to detonate the powder magazine of "bolshevism" as this one. Mayor Thompson, like all demagogues, is a "protector of the peepul," and posing as such, has attacked nearly all forms of organized business in the city, especially the public utilities, and the "robber traction barons." His platform smacks rather of Lenine than of an American statesman. At a time when the utmost should be done to conciliate capital and labor, he is making Immoderate and uncalled for attacks on established business organizations, and is fostering the discontent of the "downtrodden" workman, perverting it to his own advantage.

Upwards of six thousand university students returning to Cambridge for the opening of another year were accorded a strange greeting Sunday night, when an Irish priest, fresh from confinement in an English jail, and speaking from a platform hallowed by the footsteps of James Otis and Samuel Adams, hurled anathemas upon all Harvard as "stinking rotten with British propaganda."

...nominating speech that was anything but a success. As a Republican nominee for the Presidency Johnson is now out of the question, but as a source of trouble his position is pregnant with possibilities.

Johnson supporters are men of well-defined attitude and it is not likely that they will desert their leader. Indeed, he has threatened to take the case of any mutinous delegate to the people. Until this factor has been...
...third session of the Republican National Convention at Chicago yesterday was one of the hottest which up to this time had been seen in the Coliseant. Scarcely had the delegates been called to order by Senator Lodge when word came that the platform subcommittee, headed by Medill McCormick, had reached an agreement. Save for a slight ripple of applause which swept over the assembly, the debate in the main committee was uninterrupted. Johnson and Borah, excited and talkative, were still holding their irreconcilable position. So heated, indeed, was the debate that a fight on the floor seemed likely...
