The Campaign At Harvard

All Three Clubs Will Join in Joust in Living Room Thursday Night

The climax of the Presidential Campaign in the University will be reached on Thursday evening when all three political clubs will convene at the Union to fire their last broadsides before election in a triangular debate.

The battle will be held in the Union Living Room at 8 o'clock. Professor Felix Frankfurter of the Law School will take up the cudgel for the La Follette-Wheeler Club. Eliot Wadsworth '98, former Assistant-Secretary of the Treasury and the First Marshall of his class at its 25th reunion, will argue in behalf of President Coolidge and the Republican Party.

The Democratic Club has not yet announced its choice. The National Democratic organization has, however, tentatively promised one of three notable men. One is Senator Carter Glass of Virginia, the nominee of the mock-Democratic convention in the University last spring. The second possibility is Newton D. Buker, Secretary of War in the Wilson administration and prominent League of Nations advocate. The third man who has been mentioned is William Jennings Bryan, the Great Commoner. A definite selection of the Democratic speaker is expected within a day or two.
