Surround GO IN ORATORY AT
WATERVILLE THIS EVENING
IN HIGH SCHOOL DEBATE ON
LABOR UNION QUESTION.

The Wenatchee high school debat-
ing team-Paul Garrett, Leon Bap-
tie and Earl Marr-accompanied by
Prof. Lemon and several other boost
ers from the local school, left yes
terday for Waterville, where the
team. will engage the Waterville
team in the interschdiastic high
school debate. The local debaters
have the negative of the question:
Resolved, That the labor unions are
justified in maintaining by every
means within their power the closed
shop" These debates are annual
features of the high school work and
are under the general supervision of
the state board of education. The
accredited high schools of the state
have been districted In three divi-
sions. and the winning team in each
division will be awarded $50 cash
prize at the termination of the con-
test. The same question is debated
at all of the contests and to display
its versatility the local team in case
it is victorious over Waterville will
take the affirmative of the same ques-
ton against some other team which
has been victorious.
The financing of these debates is
in the hands of the student body of
the high school, which will have to
bear the entire expense of the debate,
including the transportation of
speakers and judges. The judges
agreed upon yesterday were Prof.

his reelection is growing up around
Chicago because he is opposed to the
construction of the Chicago-Gulf
waterway.
Congressman Fowler makes one
point in his statement of the pur-
poses of a reorganization of the
house, which it seems to me is more
vital than some might look upon it
as being, and that is his reference to
the necessity for laying the ground
work for the election of a republican
house in 1910. This is matter of
prime Importance, and this is the
time to take it into consideration.
If the republican party is TO continue
in power in congress it must do SO
by enacting the legislation the peo-
pie of the country desire enacted in
stead of suppressing it,

The debate will commence this
evening at o'clock at Waterville.

Waterville easily, but in turn was

The boys of the team have been very
carefully drilled, and their fellow
students feel assured that they will
win from Waterville this evening.

Especial to the World.)
Spokane, Nov. 16.-Congressman-
elect Miles Poindexter of the Third
Washington district has received a
letter from Congressman Charles y.
Fowler, of New Jersey, chairman OF
the house committee on banking and
currency, announcing the candidacy
of Mr.. Fowler for the Office of speak
er Joseph G.. Cannon, of Illinois.
Congressman Fowler proposes, in
the announcement Of his candidacy,
that the house of representatives be
SO re-organiZed as to provide that
committee corresponding with the
present committee on rules be elect
ed by the house itself instead of ap-
pointed by the speaker, as in the
practice under the present rules. His
proposal is that 1.-The house of repre-
sentatives shall elect board of man
ayers consisting of seven members,
which shall be charged with that di-
rection of legislation which is now
assumed by the speaker
The purposes of the organization
along the line as set forth are:
There must be some change in
the method of bringing forward leg
islation in the house of representa-
tives to reflect better the opinion of
the whole country, to conserve bet
ter the welfare of all the people, ana
also to assure the election of a re-
publican house in 1910, and in order
that President Taft may be supported
throughout his entire term by a
congress working in sympathy with
him
While Congressnan-elect Poindex
ter is not yet committed on the
speakership. his inclination is TO sup
port Congressman Theodore Burton
of Ohio, for that position, provided
Mr.. Burton shall become candidate.
His reasons are that Mr.. Burton is
more in sympathy with, and inform
ed upon, the needs OF this state, ia
vors the conservation of natural re-
sources and liberal appropriations
by the national government for the
construction of waterways.
Il see that Speaker Cannon makes
no secret of his opposition to the Pa
mama canal" said Mr.. Poindexter,
land the people of the district, as
believe the people of the entire
country, are in hearty sympathy with
that great undertaking. He is also
opposed to making liberal appropri-
ations for the construction and i'm
provement Of the interior waterways.
