The Debate.
The debate Friday evening will be
with the University of Idaho and for
many reasons promises to be the hard
est fought and most interesting ever
seen in Walla Walla. The question to
be discussed is that of woman suffrage
and both Whitman college and the
university have their best debaters to
lead the respective teams, the invinc-
ible Hez Brown for Whitman and the
great Overman for Idaho. Whitman
opposes the comforting of the suffrage
upon women, while Idaho university
will defend the policy of the state of
Idaho. The debate promises to be fun
Of rhetorical fireworks as both Brown
and Overman are noted rebutters.
To add to the interest Whitman for
the first time in its history will have a
girl on one of it's debating teams. Miss
Linnie M. Marsh, OF Weiser, Idano,
will be second speaker for the mega
tive. Roy N. Wolfe of the same town
will start Whitman's battle.
Overman will be supported by James
Galloway, brother to the Galloway
boys, formerly of Whitman, and Mr..
Addison a veteran debater. The de-
bate will occur in the chapel at S:15
o'clock Friday evening.
