A Townley,zed campaign circular, en-
titled "a Review of the Administration
Of Lynn J. Frazier" made up of wild as.
sertions and ridiculous claims, dwells at
length upon the achievements and the
ideals of the administration
The alleged ''achievements' are those
that are now considered by the sober
thinking people Of the state as huge
jokes at the best. Some humorists.
The circular is not particularly specl-
fic as to the "ideals." That is left to
your imagination. Perhaps part OF
them might be Frazier's "red revolu-
tion" speech on Labor Day of last year.
Then you might choose the treatment
accorded Miss Nelson by the Frazier
administration. The official recognition
of Prof. Stangeland and sigma Lund and
the class of books added to the school
libraries might also come under that
head. We might also mention the Kill.
aing of the red flag bill, enacting the
anti-lnjunction bill and denying the peo.
pie the right to vote on four initiated
measures. There are other .ideals
that might be mentioned, but this
should suffice for the time being,
