The Campaign At Harvard

That the Harvard Democratic Club will, without changing its name, become affiliated with the John W. Davis College League, whose Honorary Chairman is President Eliot, was finally settled yesterday.

At the first meeting of the club the resolution of W. C. McFerran '26, who nominated Davis in the mock Democratic convention in the New Lecture Hall in May, was vociferously approved and unanimously passed. The resolution read: "Resolved: that the Harvard Democratic Club endorses the candidacy of John W. Davis for President of the United States.

"That it pledges itself to direct its unremitting efforts into whatever channels may best serve his interests.

"That it pledges its unwavering support until after timid incompetency be replaced by courageous leadership in the White House".

The mechanical difficulties in the way of changing name and established organization was smoothed out when the following telegram was received from William L. Butcher, Chairman of the Executive Committee:

"If you will become a part of the John W. Davis College League I see no reason why you should change your name. Your organization can serve all the purposes that the League would serve at Harvard and have the advantage of a well organized body. If you can arrange to hold meetings and to enlist all your members individually, as members of the John W. Davis National League you will have served the very purpose for which the League is organized. Best wishes."

The settlement of this question will bring about a decided increase in the activity of the club, and in interest among college men. Campaign literature and speakers will be sent up from the New York headquarters, and a great many Republicans who are unwilling to sanction the vigorous activity along certain lines and the total inaction in other more important matters of the present administration will be able to join the club as non-partisan supporters of Mr. Davis.
