THE NEGATIVE WINS.
Open Debate of the Young Mems Debat.
ing Club of the Normal School.

Notwithstanding the very disagree
able weather Saturday evening, an audi
ence of from 300 to $50 persons as
sem bled in Normal hall to listen to the
annual open debate given by the Young
Mems Debating Club. The subject for
discussion was, Resolved, that the
Philippine Islands, Porto Rico and the
Ladrones should be admitted to the
United States" Charles Olsen and
Leander Johnson presented the affirma-
tive side and Edmund Franklin and
Paul Callaghan the negative Judge
Severance, Attorney w. E. Young and
Prof. Koehler acted as judges. Each of
the leading speakers had thirty and the
others twenty minutes in which to
state their arguments Both sides of
the question were ably presented, one
or two or the speakers growing quite
eloquent at times.
The judges handed in their decision
as to two to one in favor of the mega
tive. After the decision was read by
Mr.. Bell, who acted as chairman dur
ing the evening, Judge Severance arose
and made some explanation of why he
favored the negative. He thought that
the question was not properly stated,
for as it stood it favored the negative.
Mr.. Young then arose and stated that
the reason he voted for the affirmative
was that he thought the speakers on
the affirmative side We're somewhat
more extemporaneous in their discus
sion and that the thing for the judges
to settle was which side did best in the
debate. Prof. Koehler then said that
he need not state how he had voted as
they now all knew He said that he
simply shut his eyes and his vote hap
pened to go to the negative
The affair was credit to all those
who took part, and the young men can
well be proud of their organization.
The Normal orchestra and the Young
Mems Glee Club furnished music both
before and after the debate.

The Democratic city committee is
not inclined to call mass meeting and
as both parties are opposed to it, it is
not likely that anything more will be
done along this line.
A leading Democrat called the repor-

Mayor Pau does not desire the nomi-
nation for mayor again this spring, and
under present circumstances would not
accept it if it was offered to him. From
one who is close to him, however, we
learn that if attacks on his administra-
ton from certain quarters are kept up
he will pull off his coat and bring all
the influence that he can exert to bear
to secure reelection. In that case he
would easily be nominated
In case Mayor Pau is not nominated,
it is understood that II. w. Brown will
receive the nomination for the recorder
ship again. Harry is hard man to
down at the polls, as has been demon
strated in the past.
The friends of Frank Fowler are very
DESTROYS that he should take the nomi-
nation, and if he would say the word
there is no doubt but that he could
easily be the Democratic candidate fol-
mayor, if Mayor Pau stays out of the
game. Mr.. Fowler, as we stated last
week, would make No. official.

name forward for mayor, and it is as
serted that if nominated he would
prove to be an exceptionally strong
candidate before the people. DR.. An

metropolitan Temple Sc
cured for Evening Serv-
ice by the Central
Methodist Church.

THE attendance Of worshipers at
the evening service in the Cen
i trail Methodist Church on Mis-
sion street has so increased since
the ministration Of the present pastor,
Rev. Charles Edward Locke, that the
church trustees were compelled to
look around for more commodious
quarters. The most suitable place to
be found in the vicinity of the church
was that at the Metropolitan Temple
on Fifth street. Heretofore it was no
uncommon occurrence to find worship
ers crowding into the sacred edifice at
