Song Dedicated to Davis.
One of the interesting skits of the
evening was rendered by the "Elec-

of members OF the club, attired in
college gowns and mortar boards.
They utilized well known old college
songs in touching upon political top

of satire. One was dedicated to John
W. Davis and ran:
John Davis is over the ocean.
John Davis Is over the seas;
We know he won't stay there forever.
For Wall Streets the place for big fees
Come back. come back
Come back. John Davis, to me, to me,
Come back, come back.
Come back, John Davis, to me.
'Tis too late. when the campaign Is over,
To sail for far distant shore;
So far as concerns the election.
He'd better have gone there before.
