To the Editor of the Crimson:

Having twice debated Jay Lovestone, and also other, Communists, I long to joust with Earl XX.

I adore heckling.

Hence this query:

Might some group hear my Tory talk--and ask Communists to heckle me?

I'm a horse-buggy Tory--a "black" reactionary.

Anxious to roast Hell out of all the social sissies who waste other folks' money.

I remain. Hiram Mann

(Ed Note: Mr. Mann, a noted New York Counselor at Law, makes a business of challenging political opponents to debate. His "Toryism" is summarized in his tract, "What the United States Constitution Means to You," which concludes: "Let us rejoice, we are privileged to drink the living waters of America. Not for us the dark and deadly potion of monarchy, of autocracy, or of socialism. Those Americans who have visited the beautiful city of Washington will remember the apt phrase graven over the doors of the great Union Station:

'Sweetener of hut and of hall

Bringer of life out of naught

Freedom--oh, fairest of all

The daughters of Time and Thought.")
