tion to help him secure the nomina-
tion?
3. We would challenge college
Student to name the person TO whom
Mr.. Kerr has said this. Let the name
be given and let Mr.. Kerr reply--we
can not say.
1. Mr.. ClemensoD, and Mr.. Mar
shall OF the Journal, in their official ca
pacity as reporters after news, were at
that door It's true. Only an accident
prevented the writer from being there
also. Mr.. Albert Stauffer, who drove
Pres. Kerr's carriage that day, states
that while returning from the city
with Mrs Whitmore, for whom
Trustee Whitmore had sent him, he
met Mr.. Clemenson half way to the
college. That gentleman asked Mr..
StaufIer If he could ride, and on his
own responsibility and without coach
ing from anyone he took Mr.. Clemen-
son into the carriage and TO the col
lege. He says Truths statement is
absolutely false 1t is also known
to the writer that the two dissenting
professors at the A, G. OF u. on seeing
MIR. Clemenson in President Kerr's
carriage that day talked before an
J
Truth echoes, and this third pro-
fessor showed them their mistake by
telling them he had just arrived at
the college and on the way saw the
| Presidents carriage going down pass
! Mr.. Clemenson on the way up. Could
/ the President have sent for Clemen-
son?
). Pres. Kerr nor any other man
but a fool would cndanger his cause
! by making such statement. This,
like many other statements by Col
lege Student" is contradictory to
statements Of Pres. Kerr's shrewdness.
q. This is at most only a reflection
on those gentlemen who handle the
News. This accuses them Of being
purchased for little or nothing. They
are more concerned in this than Mr..
Kerr.
l. Pres. Kerr Is quoted correctly no
doubt and If he Is concerned may an
swer this when and where he chooses.
The REPUBLICAN merely calls to
mind here that Mr.. ID. Il. Roberts,
who Is generally recognized as one Of
those most violent against Mr.. Kerr
is today advocating principles exactly
opposite OF those he espOused six or
eight years ago. Mr.. Roberts was a
Democrat few years ago, and honest
in that no doubt. Today he is a Re-
publican, and no less honestly Re-
publican. Mr.. kerr's opinion Of ten
years ago may as reasonably have
undergone change. And Is IL not
true that the conditions of ten years
ago are mob the conditions of today.
Pres. Kerr has had to meet this ques-
tion at each fight before the legisla-
ture and each time has done it salts
factorily. Without doubt he can do
Ii again.
8. There are three secret fraterni-
ties at the A. c. Of. T., the Sigma
Alpha's, r.. +. AS. and Delta Iota
Betas, this latter being an organiza-
ton Of young ladies. These are such
as are TO be found in the University
and every large school in the y. S.,
with aims the same. Members say
Truths insinuatiOn is vile.
3. Did not the old members attend
meetings and transact business? Is
ii not true that on every occasion they
have shown every possible interest in
the school? Are Pres. Mccormick,
Lorenzo Hansen, j. A. McA lister,
Geo. Whitmore and Evan Owen such
men as neglect their business or trusts
imposed upon them! And isn't it
true that for few months after ap-
pointment some of those gentlemen
were as violently opposed TO Mr.. Kerr
as some people now appear TO be?
Isn't it true that his fairness, DISPOSE
ton to do justice to all men and his
clean, clear-cut executive capacity
won them over even against their
will? This is the statement of two
members of that old board.
10. college Student" merely gives
evidence here that he is college
student" in his second childhood
All informed men know that any such
organization or body of men may dele
gate its powers when and where it
pleases and to its committees. An
executive committee Is invariably
essential to such boards and other like
bodies of men. That the writer i'm
Truth says such men as Pres. McCor-
nick, j. A. McAlliSter, Evan Owen.
and Geo. Whitmore know less than
school boys" proves his own mental
capacity
IL. This charge Is answered in No.
:. These figures are based on condi-
lions ten years ago when classes were
so small that one corps of professors
and instructors could have been dis
pensed with, when extra room was
not required, when one equipment
would have answered for all etc. !
Kerr has answered all such questions
In his two reports to the recent legis- |
lature when Pres. Kingsbury's repre-
sentatlons as to a remarkable saving
by consolidation are easily dispellcd I
These reports are public documents. |
u. Although the young man and
friends who heard the remark say he
is quoted incorrectly, wouldn't this |
prove Pres. Kerr's interest in the col.
lege and his refusal TO recognize poll
tics at all. Truth says Kerr is poll
tician, and controls local politics. In
these words they put into his sons
mouth they say that Mr.. Kerr's atti-
tude is college or anti-college, rather
than Democrats or Republicans. Is
not Truths position terribly incon-
SiSteDt.
