Page 16 THE MAROON TIGER c (5he Political Series October 19,— Professor Lorimer D. Milton spoke on behalf of the Hoover interests and the Republican platform. The eco nomic situation was reviewed, the tariff was explained, and the candidate, Mr. Hoover, was highly praised for his keen administrative judgment. October 21,— Professor W. R. Olivers delivered what would be a good “campaign speech” to any ordinary group of men. He credited the Democratic Party with a practical phil osophy embracing a “square deal to the forgotten man and a new deal for the farm laborer.” He portrayed Mr. Roosevelt, the candidate, as a dynamic leader. October 26.— Professor Clarence A. Bacote after sketching briefly the history of the Socialist Party from the time of Karl Marx up to the present, introduced the extensive party platform and the “ideal candidate”, Norman Thomas. He also showed wherein there was little difference be tween the Republican and Democratic platforms, but that both parties had usurped the Socialist platform for enticing planks. Oct. 27,— Professor N. P. Tillman assured us that no violent demonstration would accompany his discussion of Com munism. He asked for a critical and analytical con sideration of facts. The facts were: that the Hoover administration had fallen short, that Roosevelt was but an adroit politician, that the basic philosophy of the Communists dealt with the operation of the state by the people with the elimination of personal prosperity and profit, and that the oft-credited resolutions attributed to Communism were but “organic growths in the body- politic.” Nov. 3,— Dr. Allen of the History Department of Spelman Col lege spoke on “The Relation of the Coming Election to Foreign Affairs.” Dr. Allen feels that there are four major groups of problems: (1) The settlement of war debts, (2) International economic adjustment, (3) The China-Japan encounter, and (4) The reduction of arms. The stand of the two stronger candidates, Hoover and Roosevelt on these matters was reviewed. The direction in which the United States will move is to a great ex tent dependent upon the outcome of the presidential election. The Freshmen And Sophomores Clash On Political Question Nov. 4,— The Sophomore debaters, Messrs. Kilgore, Birchette and Mukasa, supported the affirmative side of the ques tion: Resolved, That the Negro Should Vote a Republi can Ticket in the Coming Election, against the best tal ent which the Freshmen could muster. There seemed to be no small degree of difference on the question accord ing to the counter arguments of Messrs Long, Reynolds, and Co. The question was handled quite well in the limited time available, the arguments of both teams showing some degree on analysis and meditation. Hoover was denounced on the one side only to be extolled by the adversaries. Very few statistics or references were em ployed, the appeal being more to the sentiment. A decision as to the relative abilities of the two low er classes was asked by the Faculty and upper classes by the chairman. L. R. Bailey. The results were 2 to 1 for the Freshmen.
