NEELY WON.
Final Oratorical Contest Held
on Monday Night.

Splendid Productions Delivered By
Young Contestants--First Time
Woman Appeared In Final Test In
tercollegiate Contest at Columbus In
May.
On Monday evening at Commence
ment Hall it was decided that Mr.. NJ.
NJ. Nicely would represent the Uniyer-
sity in the inter collegiate contest in
the spring. Miss Daisy John aud Mr..
Nicely were the contestants. The at
tendance was not as large as usual but
the contest itself was a very good one.
Prof. G. IL. Patterson introduced
the speakers. Miss John was the FIRST
one to face the audience. She took for
her subject .Real Woman Suffrage.
The production was one of the finest
ever heard in Commencement Hall.
Miss John appeared at ease but several
times hesitated slightly on her delie-
cry.
She was suffering frem illness and it
was feared that she would not be able
TO appear at all That she did so well
was highly gratifying to her friends.
The production was strong plea for
the woman in her proper sphere in the
home and not In politics where she
does not belong.
Mr.. Nicely appeared at his ease on
the platform and his delivery was per-
feet. His production was mastery
one and at least once applause was
given it by the audience. His subject
was "Republic or Empire. He
traced the development Of the govern
ment from its foundation In light
swift touches and showed that the
very spirit of it is opposed to empire
and that as long as we had any ceun-
try or anything that represented the
old traditions the form Of it could not
be imperial.
Prof. Rice, Rev. John L. Marley
and Mr. Warwick were the judges,
The decision was announced very
shortly after Mr. Nicely bad concluded
his speech.
The contest is 10 be held in Column
bus In May between the members Of
the Central League Of which the
University is now member. The
League is composed of Cornell, Ohio
State, Ohio Wesleyan, Indians and

WASHINGTON, D. c., March 49,
The visit here yesterday and dav be
fore of VIM. Jennings Bryan and his

ton, and Chairman Hay Va. viii
issue call for caucus to be held
on March 10.
1t is The purpose of the democrats
to show to the country their unan-
unity on this subject and to make
clear their attitude and policy. They
declare that it is impossible to force
the republicans of congress to agree
or consent to any measure touching
upon national policy, and for that
reason they desire to put their politi-
cal adversaries on record. The eau
Gus will be asked to declare a demo
cratic program, including:
Flrst-A demand for strict neu-
trality.
Second-A demand that the I'M
portation of horses and munitions
of war be made to cease.

Ii they cannot compel the repub
licans to act, they argue they can at
least make clear their own position
and compel the republicans to show
by their votes their hostility to the
