0RAT0RICAL CONTEST.

The local oratorical contest OF the col
lege was held in the Presbyterian church
Monday evening, and was filled with
exciting interest. There were six speakers
three from each of the mems literary
societies, the Zeta Sigma and the Phi Phi
Alpha. David A. Johnson, whose ora
ton was on christianity and Social
Unity" received the gold medal and will
represent Alma College in the state con-
test TO be held at Albion, March 3. Mr..
Johnson is a senior and a member OF the
Phi Phi Alpha society. His strong con-
sistent work afforded fine illustration of
the work that is being constantly done III
Phi Phi Alpha. This society is fast
making a name for itself in Alma College
for progressive, efficient and thorough
work and looks with pride upon the three
men who represented it last Monday
night Phi Phi Alpha outclassed Zeta
Sigma III the matter OF thought and COM
position, winning first from two of the
three judges, Phi Phi Alpha certainly
has strong grounds for calling itself 1.-THE
brains" OF Alma College. The decision Of
the judges met the hearty approval OF all,
for his excellent Grafton and his masterful
delivery, and ease and grace upon the
platform, easily made him winner.
The winning Grafton dealt with the
great social war that is being waged at the
present time, i'll which the caste system,
and the strife between labor and capital,
are causing a great disintegration III
society. Several remedies were discussed
such as socialism and various political
conditions, but all these were shown TO be
Intellectual, and that Christianity was the
only remedy that would bring society 10
perfect unity and produce concord be
tween man and man.
he choice of the judges for second
place was Israel Himelhoch, OF, of the
Zeta Sigma Society. The subject of his
Grafton was Americas Greatest Need, -
and it was splendid appeal for reform
i'll government. Mr.. Hlmelhoch showed
the rottenness i'll the political parties,
and TO what an alarming extent the sys.
tenn of graft entered into all political con
ditions and all departments of our govern
ment He pointed to such men as Roose-
welt, Folk and LaFollettc, as men who
are laboring to correct these evils, and
prophesied a reform such as these men
are waging, in every state in the nation

Paul Allured, o., THE Russian Charac-
ter, for Zeta Sigma, Erie II Casterlin, OF,
