BOOTH OF DRAKE

Those who attended the interstate
oratoricaI contest held at the Audi
forum recently, probably did not
realize how much victory meant to the
young man who won it. The News of
Des MONIES tells the story in this way:
Last week John Booth, of Drake
university, Des Moines, won the inter-
state oratorical contest at Topeka,
Kansas.
And thereby hangs a tale.
Two years ago Booth represented
the university in the state contest The
judges on comparison threw his ora
ton out, charging that he was guilty
of plagiarism as to some of his SEN
fences. Booth had followed habit of
his high school days in appropriating
literary matter and did not realize
what he had done The public dis
grace Of the exposure brought him up
with a short turn.
But Booth was plucky.
He made a speech to the students at
chapel in which he pledged himself to
live down the mistake. And he vowed
to them he would yet bring credit to
the school that had backed him.
The young man went to work on a
new Grafton, 1.-The Power of Convic-
/ ton" 1t was every bit his own. He
wrote and re-WrOte. He inserted, cut
out, polished and perfected his COM
| position. And he practiced constantly
IN Its delivery. After two years OF
hard labor on this speech he again Of
! fered himself as candidate to repre-
sent his school.
Booths new grafton was not an
ordinary effort. BY some means there
was woven into it something of the
travail of a proud spirit cut to the
quick. something, too, Of the fire Of his
boyish determination to redeem him
self. There was in 1t the potency OF
manliness. 1t rang true on the anvil
Of human hearts.
The young orator easily won his
chance to go again to the state con-
test. When It came to that contest
this light-haired, slender fellow with
his soul in his face was in a class all
by himself. And meantime he worked
practiced and longed for his, greater
chance.
Last week at Topeka came the su-
preme test Of the boyish vow. =
Nine state representa- ives had spoken.
Booth, of Iowa. was the tenth, next to
the last. It was midnight. The au-
dience was worn and tired.
But who Is this young man different
from the others? There is a subtle
winsomeness IN his boyish presence
something that appeals. The people
sat up straight. Booth sways them
wins them, captures them and holds
them IN the hollow Of hand Power
poise. pathoss magnetism His per-
grafton is like a storm moving over the
swaying reeds. Booth, OF
