kings English, his effort was pro-
nounced by many the best speech OF
the evening.
He said he had been campaigning
in Indiana with Beveridge and Illinois
with Funk and with Governor John
son in one or two places and now with
Governor" Sweet of North Dakota.
The other night at Lisbon, he said they
met Warden Hellstrom and. he predict
ed that the democratic nominee would
be tn esecond choice of the fiickertail
be the second choice Of their state, in
timating the Fargo mayor would be
the first. ...,., ... .-. .
"Hellstrom is a good-looking fellow
but not as good looking as Governor
Sweet he said. I'VE find there is
sentiment for them both everywhere,
while about the regular republican
nominee nobody seems to know just
where he stands, because they cannot
get him to come out into the open and
say where he is" 1t was the only
illusion made to Congressman Hanna
the whole evening, and instead of pro-
voking the mirth and laughter the
sneaker intended. his joke fell fat and
there wasn't a sound in the whole
house.

He spent much time in villifying the
president and in proclaiming Roosevelt
greater than the Almighty, besides
p~resuming somewhat on the Ignorance
Of the North Dakotans in their knowl-
edge of general industrial conditions
and that they had never travelled out
side their own state ever as far away
as Chicago.

crumbs of their profits and you ate
Them" he declared, land by their CHI
cane and trickery they beat the people
at the Chicago convention so they
could control the party. But who was
it that started this great fight against
the trusts n exposed the awful meat
conditions in Chicago? Who was 1t
that put a stop to all that which not
even God Almighty himself had done?
None other than Theodore Roosevelt
The fiery Texas rator was much en-
joyed.
Sweet Was Heard.
Mayor Sweet was the first speaker
Of the evening. His talk was rather
on the dignified order, reminding one
of the ponderous and verbose style OF
the late President Cleveland, whose
sentences were replete with "~innocuous
desuetudesp and other words like that
Not much of the mayors talk seemed
remembered save for the poIysyllabiC
words he frequently used.
Good music was furnished by the Or
pheus Singing society. which respond
ed to a number of encores, much tt
the general delight of the audience.

week. There has been nc first team
picked but Townsend at center, Malin
and Garfield at the tackles, Meyers
at end and Brown, Boyd, Bentley and
De La Hunt in the back field, have
been worked regularly n should
make good. Calian, Mcdonald, Mich
OILS, Thue and Vern Crary have might
and with more training should make
good in the line. Vandanacker and
Charles Crary are good men but en-
tered school later than the others.

the end men hurry to hold positions,
What is needed are more candidates
Every position is open until the best
man is found to fill it and any of the
MI boys are more than welcome to
try to get on the team.
Arrangements are being made for
