Need we mention names? XV'ell, if we tried very hard to impress these two men We might have gott-en green trying! So, here goes: Along about the latter part of August, when the desul- tory days were well in vogue, two men, student-like in ap- pearance, met on the street, shook hands, wept a few tears over each others shoulders, and, sojourning to a nearby 'lrestaurantf seated themselves at a table, ordered two, and, in a very few minutes, were deeply engrossed in their half-whispered conversation. Little did either one of these sun-burned, smiling-facecl yOuths imagine the innocent- looking man nearby was their mutual friend ttheirs and the faculty'sl, Btolz. What a metamorphosis can take place in one single manehow little did this man with hat pulled down over his eyes, collar turned up to his ears teven though it was AugustL paper jammed into his face, look like the one-time few-days' President of the Class of l071 lTwas true, too true, and yet our world-famecl Historian. Williard C, Gott, sayeth, tho lo7 will stoop to conquer! We will leave this third party, to be resurrected in his proper role later in our narrative. These two l'Glsi' fm- ished their Hluneheonf' got up, wept once more on each others shoulders, as did Joseph of old, and departed But these meetings were resumed at intervals during the re- mainder of the summer, and when the day for college ar- rived these men were prominent on the scene with a candi- date for the Senior Class Presidency! Up and down the rooms strutted the two bosses? with the proud and promv ineht candidate, with locked 21mm, between them! Who can this favored candidate be? Head erect, chest far out into space, high stepper, and Where, or, where, have we seen him before? Ahehaea! ,Tis the Duke of Splindeman, in all his glory! By the shrewd, clever and indefatigable work of his two cohorts. each and every man in the Senior Class was duly ap- proached and spiked for the coming election, being spoken to later by the candidate, who was extremely enthusiastic about his platform, which3 as he explained to each man individually, was to this effect: that winning smile!

PLAT Ft l RM; I. That all students mmt make their own technic work. and limit the purchase of full solders to two. 2. There would be no grafting nn the pictures or me vitations. 3. Miss Stock would be allowed her own way in every- thing she desired. 4. That he tSplindemanl should be kept in tobacco at all times, both smoking and chewing. 5. That Miss VVarniek should be furnished an escort to all Eeliior dances and doings: on account of her many favors to the class? ? ? 6. That he would show no favoritism, and would be impartial in llAPPOlNTI NG the class officers. Of course, we could see the clever forethought and work of G, and G. in that platform, but, do you wonder, the class. to a man, promised to support this hose slto-be-Presie dent ? Yes, sir ; tola man! After carefully canvassing the class, and seeing there was absolutely no competition, unanimous election being assured, Candidate Limleman, accompanied always by the ttbossesf appeared in our midst with a box of we must admitjl good cigars, very unlike the brand given out in most political campaigns. The school was his, especially the smoking room, and, in response to the wild cheers of his class, he mounted a bench, and, in a few but feeling words, thanked the boys for the honor bestowed upon him. There being no other candidate in the field, the bosses declared him unanimously elected. The cheers and roars were both deafening and heart-renclering! IOI The following clay this self-made President took the Htand, and, I think, said aomething-just what, the writer will give $5.00 to any one who heard. That Class of '07 was surely the most rude and unbehaved class that ever took their seats in college. 01' course, this behavior of the class was very humiliat- ing to the two bosqes, who, immediately after the adjourn- ment, sought out their successful candidate and explained to him how to maintain order. Meanwhile the bosses see verely criticised the class for their untimely conduct. On the following day the President again took the Stand, and, through mediocre order, appointed a Vice-President, Treasurer: Secretary and Editorein-Chief. Here is where the bossee' graftl' came in, as he stuck to his platform of impartiality dividing the offices equally between the two men. We will now resume the thread dropped earlier in the account-ti. PJ the man with the turnedeup collar having overheard the plans in the restaurant. This man, being wholly and absolutely without any sense of humor, and probably having been too late to get a Cigar, took the candi- date Cor, rather, Presidentl aside; and proceeded to demol- ish the carefully planned work of months, thereby causing a premature crisis to the campaign. Any attempt to call a further meeting proved in vain, and Splindeman, becoming disgusted with politics, re- signed, and also tendered the resignation of his ofheers. much to their chagrin, as it was clone without their sane! tion, and left them as outcasts and defeated bosses. It was rumored that George B, Cox tendered each a contract, but they refused. Such is the storyvof the rise and fall of the uProwl Duke the hoss-made President. L, C. GREENBURG, '07.
