to make the speech of his life in de- fense of his attitude and against the "big interests" he declared were op- posing him.
 Judge Parker said that he had no idea who would lead the fight for him. He said it was entirely matter to be handled by the national committee.
 The Parker forces will enter the fight feeling certain that from 650 to 700 delegates are favorable to the judge. On this question only 547 votes, majority, are necessary to a choice. Supporters of MT Bryan claim, on the other hand, that a poll of the delegates has shown that the required majority are with him as against Judge Parker. Another factor to be reckoned with in this contest is the force of MT. Bryan's personality and oratory, demonstrated in former conventions.
 All state delegations which have adopted the unit rule will be gov erned by that rule on this question.
 Many of the other recognized lead CTS of Democracy are wondering what will be the power of Bryans elo- quence; whether that gift which in- spired him to the famous Grown of thorns and cross of gold" speech and won the presidential nomination for him in 1896 again will be able to rally the party's support around him as the standard-bearer

AS in Chicago last week, the open Ing fight is expected to come on the selection of temporary chairman. Former Judge Alton B.

FOOTBALL BANQUET.


Last week, Tuesday evening, amidst
the greatest enthusiasm yet shown,
the citizens of Alma united with the
faculty and students of the college in
the biggest football celebration ever
held in the city. 1t took the form of
banquet at Wright Hall with the
college football boys as guests of
honor, while prominent Alma citi-
zens, students and friends of the col
lege TO the number of about two
hundred gathered round the festive
board.
The guests of honor occupied the
large table in the center of the room,
and the. others occupied those set
around the outside of the hall.
Never before was there such a
splendid feeling of cooperation man
ifest between the residents of Alma
and the college. All joined in the
happy enthusiasm of the football Wis
tories of 1912, and the state cham
pionship.
President Thomas c. Blaisdell of
the college was POSTMASTER of the
occasion, but later called upon l.. A.
Sharp and Prof. ]. +. Mitchell to as
sist him in introducing the long list
Of speakers. Each introduction and
each speaker added new spirit and
enthusiasm to the occasion.
One of the pleasant features of the
celebration was when President Blais-
dell presented Captain Fred S. John
son with the ball used in the $50
victory over Olivet, which gave Alma
a clear title to the State Champion
ship. This was done at the close of
Mr. Johnson's speech and was greet
ed with very hearty applause.
Words from the fans and the hap
lpy relationship between the town
and the gown, were the subjects
discussed by many of the towns
people as well as repres entatives
from the college.
The following citizens responded
to toasts and each seemed to bring
some new thought and words Of CO.
operation: J.. A. Sharp, d. L. John
son, Ezra Smith, Rev Mason, Rev
Fr Muloy, and II. c. Moore.
President and Mrs. Blaisdell, Coach
Bleamaster, Prof. Mitchell and diff
ferent members of the student body
represented the College. College
yells were frequent and added much
to the enthusiasm Of the event.
1t is now hoped by all who had the
pleasure of attending the big cele-
bration that this will become an an
nual affair as all feel that it tends to
do much toward bringing about the
desired result Of happy coopera-
ton between the town and the col
