Knight thought that he was entitled to
a raise and told Sigrist So He told
the manager that he was not disposed
to hold the students up for more than
they could afford to pay, but that he
would not accept the position for an

Committee Against It.
The matter of an. increased salary
was discussed by the executive COM
mittee at the meeting at which Sigrist
was authorized to again tender the po-
sition of coach to Knight. Practically
the entire committee was against it,
particularly those who had never had
any connection with university athlet-
les themselves, and on this fact is based
the belief of many of the students that
Knights proposition will not be ac-
cepted.
Knight, since he took charge of uni

LOWER HOUSE is DOUBTFUL

ikI ASHINGTON, Aug. 29.-Chairman
W Joseph Babcock Of the Republic
can congressional committee to-
day expressed the opinion that the
present is the closest congressional
campaign he has experienced since 1885
What are the conditions which make
the congressional campaign closer this
year than it has been since 1882" Mr..
Babcock was asked.
They differ in localities" he re-
sponded. In some the conditions re-
suit from the character Of the national
campaign. In others the conditions are
almost entirely local. Then in some
cases the difficulty is over the kind of
men nominated for congress. In Ne
braska. where there. are six members
OF the house to fight for. the Demo-
Gratis have abandoned the national
campaign. They have fused with the
Populists on the legislative and con-
gressionaI tickets. but not on presi-

ional districts in the state are close.
We redeemed four Of those districts
two years ago, but they have been
going one way or the other by very
narrow margins-not by 200 or 900 or
4UO, but in some instances by y or i
or 20 votes. Now the congressional
committee has TO go in there without
the usual support from the national
committee.
There is not much interest in cam
2aign literature said Mr.. Babcock.
We are sending out speeches on the
tariff and some matter relating to the
Panama canal; also a few Democratic
speeches, Ike that Of Bourke Cochran
