The sure enough Roosevelt and Fair
banks college men paraded last night from
the Republican Club to the Republican
mass meeting at Madison Square Garden.
The distance isn't much more than quarter
Of a mile, 40 the college men were able to
save the energy they would have used up
in walking the ordinary political parade
distance and devote it exclusivey;to yelling
The parade, which wasn't a record breaker
for size, was by no means wholly made up
of college fnen. Much Of it consisted OF
delegations from the Republican Club OF
the Twenty seventh Assembly district. the
Gold Legion Club of New Haven and the
Americans Marching Club OF Pittsburg
not to mention one automobile. mounted
police and three big bands. The under
graduates from Princeton, however, shouted
enough to make up for any lack in the
simon pure college article.
Late in the afternoon a telegram was
received from the man in charge Of the
Princeton undergraduate delegation. 1t

Everybody in the Republican Club read
the telegram, but no one could tell whether
the Princetonians were bringing the eight

Judging from looks, few Of them will vote

strong and the "Siss boom ali" OF Prince

| their long suit.
Shortly before the parade, rather ex-
cited young man went to the Republican

was his place.

meeting after chapel this morning to work

In spite of the cruel Chancellor New York

A transparency was gotten up at the last
moment.
The parade started promptly at o'clock
! from Fortieth street and Fifth avenue.
! The first Of the college men TO start were
| the Princeton students. They carried
many transparencies, among them this:
| Teddy for President and Teddy for Congress :
| !: will make both ends meet In an economical
| administration
Following the Princeton delegation, which
| didn't have tiger was a good sized column
| of Yale students. Columbia was well repre-

Roosevelt" had telling effect. The Har-
ward bunch carried a transparency which
read:
! Parker will never swim In the Potomac
Other colleges represented were the COL
! lege OF the City of New York, Lehigh. Cor
neh, University of Pennsylvania. Amherst
had about a dozen representatives, but they
did more than their share of the cheering
and singing Most OF those in line were
old time college politicians. Pete Cadieux
who marched in the Amherst column, was
reputed to have controlled the German vote
OF Holyoke, Mass, even before he entered
college.
The parade marched down Fifth avenue
to Twenty -eigh;h street. to- Fourth avenue
and the Garden John l.. Vanderbilt, who
had charge Of the fireworks. did his work
we'll, and Fifth avenue was a blaze OF red
light and Roman candles.
Fifth avenue probably never before
heard 30 many different yells at once. 1t
must have reminded an old graduate Of a
combination OF football game and fraternity
banquet. There was some good singing
too. and altogether u ia doubtful ii Roose-
welt and Fairbanks ever got so much sys-
tematic noise before.
