Tuesday, April Zl. I936 B1; Sydney M. Miner THE RECENT ELECTION has placed the Democratic Party in a truly unique position, a position which has not been faced, at least to so marked a degree, by any modern po— litical party. Because of the action of one strong member of the party a rift occurred in the ranks and in the course of a bitter primary campaign, the rift widened to an actual abyss which may even yet prove to be the pitfall of the party. The victory of Homer over the Kelly-Nash organiza- tion, while not a landslide is certainly indicative of the sentiment of the vot- ing public. In light of this revelation, what can the stand of the “organiza- tion” be? They seem to be faced with a choice between the proverbial fry— ing pan and fire. Two courses are open: support of the party’s candi~\ date, in spite of his open defiance; or “desertion of the deserter" and sup- port of the opposition’s candidate. either coursc is strewn with death traps, and from a non-partisan point of view, will lead the organization to its inevitable end. SHOULD THE ORGANIZATION choose to support the Republican candidate, they face doom because of the accompanying lack of their sup- port, or at least its limitation, of the national party. Furthermore, they will be contributing to the comeback of their opponents, who will then probably be able to take over the whip-hand which has been held from them for so long. ON THE OTHER HAND, the more logical step, support of the par- ty candidate, is not so easy a move. In spite of the overwhelming Demo— cratic vote, it is impossible to over- look the fact that many of the Horner . votes were not cast for Horner, but were cast as missiles, aimed at the “organization." Furthermore, a com- plete reversal of policy in face of the atrocious mud-slinging campaign will only serve to incite still more of the growing distaste for the activities of one of Cook County’s biggest political syndicates. All in all, the situation is a distressing one as far as the Dem- ocratic Party is concerned. ONE POINT that this election has served to bring forward bears upon the question of “Home Rule" for Chicago. The atrocities of this last political revolution have certainly set the idea of “Home Rule" back ale most to its starting point. One should almost shudder at the possi— bilities placed in the hands of these politicians by the passage of the “Traction Bill." IMMEDIATELY after the election, ‘ one of the city’s leading newspapers came forth with headlines, blaring the fact that the city had faced one l of its most fraudulent and corrupt elections in years. They certainly could not have been far wrong when squad cars were seen following a group of campaigners and system- atically removing each sign which the campaigners had placed. Or even worse, is the story which can be told by any householder. Precinct work- ers, after knocking at a door and being appraised of the voting inten-i tions of the resident, would feign al- legiance to the same candidate, in- form the resident of the terrific fight that the candidate must put up, and suggest that the resident mark some such notation as “Be sure to count this ballot” at the bottom of the ballot. In this way, while the worker did not gain a vote for his candidate. he did succeed in the equivalent, nuls lification of the opponent’s vote. IN LIGHT of these and other abominable tricks rampant in the city, and over which the city had no, or did not desire, control, is it reason able to believe that Chicago or Cook County are capable of selfwgovern-l, ment'! ‘ Lyman Speaks Hetero Meeting of A.S.M.E. “Versatility and Ingenuity in the Young Engineer" was presented last Friday in a talk by Mr. K. E. Lyman at a meeting of the Armour student chapter of A. S. M. E. in science hall. Mr. Lyman is technical assist- ant to the President of the Borg— Warner Corporation and has had wide experience as a research adviser. He was a professor at the Kansas State Agricultural College. He stated that the young engineer should use ingenious methods and de- vices in solving many problems rather than depend entirely on book knowl- edge, especially in problems of inves- tigation that are not solvable by formulae. A note of optimism was voiced for graduating seniors by Mr. Lyman in that present graduates will be given preference over graduates of the past few years in many engi— neering opportunities now being de- velopcd.

The one act plays he directed during the last year were In the Zone, The Bear, Dress Reversal, Housc of Julie, and Dust of the Road.

This is a home meet but the scene of play has not yet been decided upon. Up to the present, team positions have not yet been awarded, but places will depend on the players respective rankings. As the season progresses, these positions will be determined by challenge matches in which each man may challenge the two men preceding him in the rank- ings. If he succeeds in defeating: the challenged, he takes the position of the latter, who in turn drops down one place. The addition of two freshmen has bolstered the squad greatly and given Coach Culvert new hopes for the coming season. Both men, Swanson and Natinchek, have played on high school teams, the former having been on the Tilden Tech team that won the city championship last year, A tentative schedule includes matches with Wheaton, North Cen- tral, George Williams, and Loyola.
