To the Editors of the CRIMSON:

The papers have been telling us lately of the arrival of the guardsmen and of their rejoicing (comparable to that of the Ten Thousand on catching sight of the sea) as they saw once more the frost-covered Berkshire, etc., etc. They have overlooked to tell us, however, that most of these guardmen have returned too late for registration and consequently will be barred from voting How many votes will either candidate lose on this account? For what candidate would the guardmen, as a whole, be likely to vote after their stay at the border? Perhaps it is to the advantage of the Democratic party that these guardsmen do not vote. It seems as if fate were doing its best for Mr. Wilson's re-election in contriving so astutely to keep the guardsmen at the border until now. E. R. P. '19
