POLITICAL RACES ARE now under way. Like thc famous Spark Plug contests. the participants in the political pudcle from which will come the student officers next year, afford many amusing examples of humanity in its various forms.
Sleek speeches, primed to get the at-' tention of th* ear, were given with a smoothness that suggests the pratical politician. Tlie personalities of the candidates i hem selves could easily be ?een by the kind of speeches they ga\e, although some of them were polished almost beyond recognition.
