The Worcester Polytechnic Institute and Tufts incidents warn undergraduates to back off campus “rushes.” Authors urge restraint, noting injuries to students and advising patience until the real sport of football on the field.
The Republican caucuses show Frothingham with roughly 200-packet edge over Speaker Cole for lieutenant governor. Nomination remains uncertain as unpledged delegates may not push him to a majority. Cole and Luce could unite to block Frothingham, but convention dynamics favor Frothingham's likely nomination. The Post urges the strongest candidates from both parties to best serve the Commonwealth.
The speaker laments Senator Foraker being expelled from Taft’s circle after admitting he took 50 000 dollars from Standard Oil to buy a newspaper and returned the funds when it failed to sell. The piece contrasts this with Cortelyou and Roosevelt era money in politics and questions the double standard.

The piece attacks President Roosevelt for endorsing bribery accusations against Governor Haskell of Oklahoma. It argues he dodges Bryan's demand for proof and accuses him of bluster. The note questions Roosevelt's knowledge of facts justifying the defamation and compares him to other political figures.

Hidden in Maine’s back woods King and Bartlett Lake draws hunters and anglers with abundant trout salmon and moose.
