Two University Foot Ball Teams
In a Fight ng Contest.
FIRST OF SEVERAL BIG GAMES
Great Athletic Event Dec urred at the
University Grounds, Minneapolis,
This Afternoon.
From SATURDAYS Daily.

From SATURDAYS Daily.
At three fortyfve as we 90 to press
the game stands 10 to in favor of
Minnesota, first half of the game.
The Gophers or Minnesota Univer-
sity football team is playing the Ames,
Iowa university team this afternoon
en- the Northrop field, Minneapolis. Sew
eral thousand people are witnessing
the game.
This is the first game of series to
be played this season and as no one
had definite idea as to how the
Gophers would play, much interest is
conferred in this game.
The finishing touches were put on
the Minnesota football machine last
evening by Chief Engineer Williams
and at o'clock this afternoon the
throttle was thrown open and the big
collision occurred with the Iowa ag-
gregation and the outcome of the meet
ing is as much of problem as ever.
for nothing is known of the improve
ment of the Gophers and little real
facts are known of the Ames bunch
but it is cinch that the rooters who
are attending will be given their
moneys worth.
There was very little doing at North
rop field yesterday although the scrim-
mage work was dispensed with. The
regulars were kept busy during the
enter two hours and at the conclusion
were as fatigued as if they had been
sent at the scrubs for a stiff tussle.
The players were given final warm
ing before they were dismissed and are
all aware of the fact that they are
not going up against corner lot ag-
gregation today, but instead are pre-
pared to play the game of their lives
against a team which has been at work
several weeks longer and which is in
much better condition.
DIR Williams refused to give out his
lineup previous to the game, so that
the makeup of the Minnesota team will
be mystery until they appear ON the
field.
The Ames team arrived last night
without the great drop kicker Jeanson
and the Gopher rooters are greatly re-
lieved.
Competent officials have been Sc
cured in Ralph Hamill of Chicago for
referee; Phil Allen, Chicago, umpire.
and DR.. Lamson of Pennsylvania, head
linesman.

ton to that measure in the second
district
MCCleary Takes the Stand.
Mr. McCleary was assigned one
hour ard fifteen minutes for his adj
dress, using large part OF his time
in giving lucid and we'll received ex-
PLANTATION of the operations of congress
and the principle of government in
America by responsible political parties,
in contrast with various other countries
with representative governments where
party responsibility does not obtain
Discussing .ne rules of the house of
representative Mr.. McCleary pointed
out that these rules were adopted
twenty-eight years ago by democratic
congress, only three changes having
since been made therein. Mr.. McClearv
conclusively showed the necessity of
arbitrary rules to govern so large a
body as the American congress. Re
garding Mr. Cannon as speaker and
his methods Ire stated that he believed
representatives should be governed by
the wishes of their constituents and
that if he found the people of this
district opposed to Mr.. Cannon as
speaker he would decline to vote for
him as such in the next congress, if
elected, and that he was in favor of
any action to better the house rules if
possible. He stated that he was I'M
der no obligations to Mr.. Cannon.
Coming down to discussion of the
tariff the speaker proceeded to give his
usual scholarly dissertation on that sub
iect. He elaborated upon the difference
existing in the tariff idea in different
countries, emphasizing the American
principle of protection. He said that
he would favor such revision as
seemed necessary.
Mr. McCleary made it plain that he
stood squarely upon the national re-
publican platform. He would favor
reduction of the tariff wherein such
a reduction was deemed necessary, and
that if conditions warranted he would
favor raise in schedules to protect
industries that were in need of pro-
lection.
Tariff Not Parent of Trusts.
"Thev do say" said Mr.. McCleary,

NJ. Quinn, who presided at the meet
ing. Mr.. Hammond opened the debate.
He expressed his pleasure at the OPP
portunity of engaging in joint debates
with his opponent. He was pleased
to know that so many had come to
listen to the remarks of both gentle
men. After other preliminary re-
marks, Mr.. hammond plunged into a
discussion of the tariff question, state
ing that the democratic party had de-
clared for revision downward and an
immediate revision. Mr.. Hammond was
free to admit that the protective sys-
tenn could not be done away with en-
tirelv because of the large amount of
money that must be raised to pay the
expenses of the government. But some
people have thought that the charges
levied for permitting the importation
of goods in this country were to high
and that some industries were pro
tected too much. The consumer pays
the tax. This tax, said Mr.. Nam
mond, is still the controversy as it
was two years ago. Continuing has
tariff talk, Mr.. Hammond said there
should be a scientific adjustment of
schedules That would prevent eXtor-
ton and fraud Mr.. Hammond claimed
that the protective system did not tos-
ter competition He raised the old cry
that the manufacturers had combined
for the purpose of sitting compe-
tition and compelling the people to pay
higher prices. There may be eXcep-
tional cases. Some manufacturers may
need protection.
Lays Blame to Cannon.
Mr. Hammond then turned his at
tention to Joe Cannon. He attacked
the speaker of the house in a manner
that appealed to the galleries. If there
is anything that Cannon is not guilty
of Mr.. Hammond did not make it
known. He denounced the speaker as
"unspeakable," claimed that he had
placed strange hold on legislation and
given the boot to the rights of rep
resentatives. Mr.. Hammond made his
denunciation so strong that few think
ing men in the audience really be-
lieved that Cannon is as bad as he was
painted. Mr.. Hammond made rather
sarcastic allusion to the Circuit bill,

Joint Debate Between Republican
And Democratic Candidates
For Congress Last Night;
Now For Others.
From SATURDAY. ) Daily =.

From SATURDAYS Daily
Winfield Scott Hammond, nominee for
congress on the democratic ticket, gave
William Jennings Bryan another throw
down last night. The second district
congressman would sacrifice the demo-
cratic candidate for president for the
sake of retaining his seat in the lower
house. Judas Iscariot denied Jesus
Christ for paltry thirty pieces of sill
yer. Mr.. Hammond would deny his
nominee for president for a place in the
national law making body. In the hope
of hoodwinking republicans into voting
for him, the democratic nominee. for
congress passes by Bryan. He has not
tine courage to declare that he win
vote for the head of the democratic
ticket when pressed for an answer to
the questions submitted him by Mr..
McCleary. the democratic nominee for
congress was made waspish and Mr.
McCleary used Hammond for his mirth
and his laughter. Not only that, but
Mr.. Hammond would not declare himself
unequivocally and without suffering in
favor of the democratic platform adop-
ted by the national convention held
in Denver during July last. In other
words Hammond sidestepped, and he did
not perform the act gracefully either.
He acted like a fretful child who had
been reprimanded by his parent for
some minor offense. y

Scene at Fairm0nt.

The scene occurred at Fairmont last
evening 1t was near the close of the
Joint. debates the first of the series of
five arranged between the gentlemen on
Monday last Hammond admitted that
his reelection to congress depended upon
his being able to capture republican
votes, but it is doubtful if his aero
battle stunt of riding the elephant and
donkey at the same time will accom-
plish the purpose. The democratic rep
resentative chafed under the lash APP
piled to him by Mr.. McCleary, when
that gentleman put it up to him to
come out from under cover and de-
clare allegiance to Bryan, "The Peer
less" Mr.. Hammond fretted and raved,
and declared that Mr.. McCleary was
trying to divide party lines. His in
dignation knew NO bounds, and he con-
sidered his opponent impertinent in
asking the question how he intended
to vote, savagely declaring that it
was no ones business. But Mr.. Ham
mond did not consider it at all I'm
pertinent when he asked Mr.. McCleary
whether he would vote for Joe Cannon
for speaker. Mr.. McCleary told the
audience that he was under no obliga-
tions to vote for Mr.. Cannon. If any
thing he had every reason to oppose
him. The burden of Hammond's song
was Cannon. Having returned from
Washington empty handed, unable to
accomplish anything, not having made
good, the democratic congressman places
the blame for his failure upon the
shoulders of Joe Cannon. HammonS
must have an excuse for his sins of
omission and commission and it is Joe
Cannon. His appeal last night was
to the preiudiced mind. 1t was not
an appeal to fairness or reason. Joe
Cannon was the foundation of his trou-
bles. Like a fretful boy he pleaded for
another chance in the congress.
Crowd Heard the Debators.
More than 200 people heard the de-
bate A special train brought 300 Ham,
mond rooters from st. James and
towns enroute. They came with a band
and banners readino.
