Grinnel, June 2-The Mrs. H w.
Spaulding prize for excellence in read
ing was offered to the women of Iowa
College in 1909 and the first annual
contest for this prize took place yester-
DAY afternoon at Herrick chapel. There
was a fair sized audience mostly Of
women, but not nearly what the ex-
&c Hence of the contest warranted.
There We're eight contestants. each of
whom read a selection upon which she
had previously practiced. with view
to attaining perfection, and she was
then handed a book, paper or ma gazine
and called upon to read any common
place selection that she had never be-
fore sean.
One surprise to the audience was
that in several cases the contestant ac-
tually did better reading on the i'm
promptu selection than upon the one
that she had given much practice.
The prizes We're awarded as follows:
First, s25. Lenoir Hood, who read three
short lyrics and a selection from an
essay on Work: second, SIS, Laura
Davis. who selected The Other Wise
Man" from Henry Van Dyke and had
the impromptu from an essay on
Talk" third. $40. Helen Durham,
whose selection was Little Sister
Snow by Frances Little. with sight
reading from Rip Van WinHie.
The judges had hard task because
of the uniform excellence of the work
for which so much praise and very lit
tie criticism was heard The commit
tee of award was composed of Mrs. L.
f. Parker, Miss Katherine Macy, Miss
Mary Chamberlain, Professor r. H.
Perring and Mr.. Henry G. Lyman.
Each judge marked independently on
a scale ranging from Is TO 100 and was
to take nothing into the account ex-
cept the perfection of rendering Of the
authors idea. Professor John P. Ryan
presided.

Tribute, IN r. s. Andrews; CD Essay

votes numbering from 1900 to 1000
have been cast. IL
And one significant fact brought out
by this probe is that practically all of
the illegal voters registered on Satur-
day, March 26, just two days before
the election, or not earlier than March
II.
This Judge Miller says. causes him
to feel safe in his claim that the illegal
voting was the action of an organiza-
ton supporting liberal candidates, who
fearing the outcome of the election, ran
these repeaters about from polling
place to polling place, giving fictitious
names and claiming residences in va
cant lots, empty store buildings, sa-
looms, lumber yards, boiler shops and
restaurants.
This, also. Judge Miller asserts. is
the reason the vote cast at the last cleo
ton was heavier by far than at any
election ever before held in the city.
especially in the business districts.
What little investigation has been
made in the outlying precincts and on
the hills, shows the voting to have been
practically clean, but few if any evil
dences of fraud being discovered
