CURRENT COMMENT
College Men For Wilson.

The college men organizing to boost
Woodrow Wilson for the presidency. About two
months ago there were but two clubs, but now
there is Woodrow Wilson League Of College
Men embracing more than hundred clubs
at many schools throughout the country.
These clubs have enrolment OF about ten
thousand members, There clubs at Har-
ward. Columbia University Of Ohio, University
of Colorado and at many other great unver-
stiles. including Princeton, of course. This or
ganization OF college men has already gotten
70 work and, Is making y campaign nf. publicity
in behalf of the New Jersey Governor.
Ten thousand college men are no insgnih-
cant aid to a man aspiring to Office especially
when they represent all sections of the coun-
try. If these young men were at home they
might exert greater influence upon the voters
IN the rejection of delegates than they may hope
to do away. College students may note vote in
Virginia. unless they are registered at their
homes. Indeed few of them are old enough
to vote Ten years hence the ten THOUSAND
college men affiliated with these cfubs will have
ten times their present influence, and IL IL could
be exertSd untedly Tor one candidate for any
office 1t would constitute a strong lever to
elevate him.
The average man who goes out from our
huence and a power for usefulness in his sphere
after ne becomes hit more practical and
rious. Such men hive upon them greater
sponSihllities than many realize until late In life,
sometimes too late for them to accomplish what
they might have achieved had they been serious
oariier.--Danville Register.
