The Review of Reviews for November
recognizes in various ways the culmlna-
ton of the presidential contest. In the
Progress of the World there is a re-
sumo by the editor of the methods the
two great parties have used IN waging
the hattie, and while corrupt methods
are unsparingiy attempted the editor
takes "a more optimistic and less severe
tone than has been used by many critics
of our campaigning methods. The de-
partment entitled Current History in
Caricature" reprOduces number OF the
cartoons that have been actually in
fiuentlal in tho campaign, giving promi-
nence to those which have been most eX
tensivey used for campaign purposes by
the two great national committees them
selves, There are also summaries OF
recent important articles upon political
methods winch have appeared In other
periodicals.
