CLEAR   WEATHER   ON
LANTERN NIGHT
Lantern Night was particularly effect-
ive this year because of the moonlight
and the fact of their being no wind. The
Sophomores trained by their song leader,
R. Relnhardt, and led by T. Haynes and
W. Robb, kept together perfectly, al-
though their slow singing made "Pallas
Athene" sound almost too measured and
mechanical.
The Freshmen, led by M. Hutchins and
L. Kellogg, are to be congratulated on
their sure start of "Over the Way". The
pitch was kept until they were almost out
of the cloisters. H. Harris, S. Jelllffe,
and B. Emerson, 1917, swung lanterns for
the Sophomores and L. Richardson and
C. Dodge, 1918, helped train the Fresh-
men.

ROUSING RALLY CLOSES CAMPAIGN
Torchlight Procession Around Campus
EVERY PARTY REPRESENTED �
The College presidential campaign
wound up the night before election day
with a rousing rally in the gymnasium
and a torchlight procession through the
campus. All four parties. Republican,
Democratic, Socialist, and Prohibitionist,
were represented.
Press Box Surveys Lively Scene
The Republicans and Prohibitionists
sat on the left and the Democrats and So-
cialists on the right of the gym with their
respective speakers facing them on either
side of Hi" platform. Above In the gal-
lery the click of a busy Corona indicated
the press box full of "News" reporters
Party feeling ran high and the mock po-
licemen were constantly subduing vio-
lent adherents of Wilson or Hughes. The
songs of both parties were drowned out
by shouts, but the Democrats managed to
get in the College cheer for Wilson.
Hughes' Picture Falls on Platform
As Dr. Gray, the first speaker for the
Republicans, mounted the platform a pic-
ture of Hughes hanging above him was
torn down and the Democrats of the fac-
ulty shouted, "We want Wilson". Roars
of Republican applause greeted Dr.
Gray's living illustration of the weak
Mexican policy, the vengeful Villa imper-
sonated by Z. Boynton '20. Dr. Gray did
not reply to hecklers who asked whom
he was voting for, but the rumor has been
verified that he is pro-Wilson.
The policy, of high tariff and protection
was attacked by the first speaker for the
Democrats, H. Harris '17. Then, turning
to the Republican candidate, she said,
"Now I must come to Hughes".
"Yes", a Republican retorted, "the
whole country is coming to Hughes".
After the applause died down. Miss Har-
ris, to the accompaniment of Democratic
cheers, named what she said Hughes
wishes to wipe out: the accomplishments
of the Democratic party.
The Full Dinner Pail
E. Houghton '18 answered H. Harris '17
with an attack on the present administra-
tion, while F. Buffum '18, the last Demo-
cratic speaker, pointed to herself envel-
oped in a checked apron as an example
of the thriving child and an exponent of
the full dinner pail.
Dr. Leake, the faculty speaker for the
Democrats, emphasized the Progressives'
change in attitude. Roosevelt and Gilford
Pinchot, he said, are fighting to-day for
the things they condemned in 1912, the
things that Penrose, Barnes, and Smoot
represent. "Pussy-foot E-vasive Hughes",
concluded Dr. Leake, "is a window cur-
tain behind which hide all the sinister
forces of evil".
Prohibitionist Appeals to Audience
H. Huntting '19 took off the violent Pro-
hibitionist and appealed to the audience
for protection from her rowdy wife, M.
Thompson '17. M. Brent '20 spoke for
Socialism and M. Willett '17 was the third
Republican speaker.
Republican Elephants
Two real elephants, secured by the Re-
publicans, were the most startling feature
of the torchlight procession which fol-
lowed the rally. The Democrats had en-
gaged donkeys, bat nones cleverly ca-
parisoned appeared Instead It is said by
some that one of the donkeys died and
(the other one went insane. The proces-
sion led by a band started from Pembroke
] Arch and marched down behind Radnor
and the gym and out on the Gulph Road,
I and back in front of Dalton to the Arch.
The circuit was repeated several times,
1 gathering fresh recruits and more enthu-
siasm.
CAMPAIGN SPEAKING IN TAYLOR
Politicians Canvass College
Under the auspices of the Undergradu-
ate Association, three politicians, a Re-
| publican, a Socialist and a Prohibitionist,
spoke in Taylor Saturday afternoon.   Mr.
Westcott, the Democrat, who was to have
> spoken, did not appear.    Miss Shipley, in
. traducing the speakers, limited them to
twenty minutes each, and warned them
that she would ring a bell at the end of
; fifteen   minutes.     Mr.   Jones,   the   first
speaker, gave the record of the Republi-
can party and Mr. Hughes as the reason
. for Mr. Hughes' election.    Mr. Nelson de-
I scribed the aim of Socialism as the public
administration  of the means of produc-
| tion and distribution.   Mr. Dittman, who
1 spoke   for   the   Prohibitionists,   lamented
i the control of the wet minority over the
dry majority in the Republican and Dem-
ocratic parties.
M. S. CARY COLLEGE TENNIS
CHAMPION
Wrests   Cup  from   M.   Thompson   '17   in
Straight Sets
In the play for the Individual Tennis
Championship last Wednesday M. S. Cary
^'20 defeated M. Thompson 17, 6-4, 6-2.
The match was spiritless and from the
beginning there was little doubt as to the
winner.
Near the end of the first set, however.
Miss Thompson picked up to such an ex-
tent that, with the score 5-0 against her,
she won four straight games before her
opponent finally settled her. The second
set was uninteresting, the principal
feature being Miss Cary's quick net work.
Miss Thompson has been College Cham-
pion during two separate years, 1913 and
1915, having lost In 1914 to M. Winsor
ex-18.
In the semi-finals of the championship
last Monday the evens came out ahead.
M. Stair '18 winning 6-2, 6-3. from A.
Thorndike '19 and M. S. Cary '20 beating
M. Willard '17, 7-5, 6-4. In the finals on
Tuesday M. Stair lost to M. S. Cary in
a close and exciting match with the score
15-7. 6-1, 3-6.
EMPLOYMENT   BUREAU
GIVES  PARTY
Dancing  and   Refreshments   in   the  Gym
The Employment Buresu of the Chris-
tian Association gave s dance In the gym-
nasium last Saturday night G. Malone
'17 spoke on the work of the Employment
Bureau and plsns for reorganizing it this
year on a more efficient basis. Fudge
and Ice-cream cones were sold for the
benefit of the Endow meat Fund and
maalc was famished by the Sophomore
orchestra with H. Huntting as leader.
BRYN MAWR CLEANS UP ON MERION
Visitors Show Strong Defence, But Weak
Line
GOOD    TEAM    PLAY    MAKES    SCORE
5 TO 0
To the tune of 5 to 0 Bryn Mawr Var-
sity whipped Merion last Saturduy,
thereby gaining the third victory of the
season, with the credit again due to good
team play and fight, and with M. Peacock
'19 at fullback as the Individual star.
Even Merlon's splendid defence and fast
renter forward, Miss Townseml, could not
make up for the general weakness of the
visitors' forward line.
Game Chiefly  In   Merion   Territory
The game began with a rush down the
field toward the Merlon goal and In
Merion territory the ball remained by far
the greatest part of the game. After a
prolonged struggle In the circle the llryn
Mawr team shot the first goal. Some
brisk scrapping was followed by the
Merion center forward rushing the ball
Into Bryn Mawr territory only to lose it
in the circle. Three corners in the
Merion circle came next and the second
goal was shot by M. Scattergood.
The third goal C. Stevens put in after
some good passing in the forward line
had brought the ball down. There was a
moment of suspense for Bryn Mawr be-
fore M. Peacock unerringly hit the ball
out of the home circle, to which two
rushes the length of the field had brought
it, and the first half came to an end on
the Merlon 25-yard line.
Green    Line   Faster  in   Second   Half
In the second half the Merion forward
line picked up a little and carried the ball
down toward the Bryn Mawr goal, but the
rally ended in a bully In Bryn Mawr ter-
ritory. Scrapping near Merlon's goal fol-
lowed until M. Willard with a clean shot
put in the fourth goal.
Soon afterwards C. Stevens made the
fifth goal. From the bully Merlon took
the ball down, but F. Curtln. goalkeeper,
made a good stop and kept the visitors
from scoring. Bryn Mawr regained the
ball and the fight was In Merlon territory
when the whistle blew. Merlon, 0; Bryn
Mawr, 5.

Journalists Come Out for Wilson
An interesting comparison of the names
in the group of authors and artists who
have signed a manifesto in favor of Mr
Hughes with those who signed the pro-
Wilson manifesto was made recently in
an editorial in the New York "Evening
Post". "It appears", says the editorial In
part "that those who In their work have
stood in closer touch with the practical
life of the nation are for Wilson, while
the supporters of Hughes sre much more
emphatically of the "literary' type The
Journalists are for Wilson. The belles-
lettres practitioners are for Hughes".
Another surprising result Is Princeton.
Wilson's alma mater, voting for Mr.
Hughes and the University of Pennsyl-
vania most Republican of colleges, voting
for Wilson
