High School News Notes

The University of Colorado, which
has charge of the state high school
debating league, has designated Prin-
cipal X. A. Shanner to act as mama
ger of the southeastern district. The
schools in this district which belong
to the league are Rocky Ford, Fow-
Ter, La Junta, Las Animas, Holly and
Lamar, all of which are credited
schools.
Mr.. Shanner has written other
schools in this district in regard to
joining the league. The question for
discussion and pairing of schools must
be arranged by November Is, 1916.
The winner of this district will en-
gage in an interdistrict debate and
with the winner Of some other dis
trict. The state championship will
Sre determined by a debate held at
the University of Colorado on the
morning of high school day.
Last year l.. H. S. won the cham
pionship of the southeastern district.
We are out to repeat again this year.
The students are manifesting a great
deal of interest and successful de-
batting season is assured. Principal
Shanner is very busy selecting a
question and pairing off the schools.
An announcement will be made later
about the question.
Don't forget the big game with Las
Apipnos IN SATURDAY. NoveTpher II
What is conceded to be the big game
of the season will be played at Asso-

championship of the league depends
upon the outcome of this game. Foot
ball fans in the valley are unanimous
in the opinion that Lamar high school
and Las Animas high school are rep
resented by the strongest teams. La
mar has only Las Animas and Rocky
Ford to dispose of in order to have

men, and that vast number OF people
who. being just between, are weil-to-

They have seen enough OF the
weird workings of the Democratic
tariff to realize that such a thing is
not good for them and theirs. NO
longer must this country be depend
dent on an awful war for what scant
prosperity she can show. Our farm
ers, our miners. our stockgrowers, our
fruit men. our factory men, must no
longer be subjected to a disastrous
competition from the poorly-paid
workers and producers of foreign
countries. This doctrine has been
preached and is fully understood. me

tremendous and discouraging drop IN

the heels of the Underwood tariff bill

men, all men. know what has been

which only left catastrophe in their
wake. No more OF such things!"
Mr. McCleliand has been business
man for years Thus he knows the
wants Of the business world. But as
a banker he has been brought into
close alliance with the smallest saver
and worker in his district. He knows
such people, too, and he talks on the
theory that the man who only owns
a shovel, pick and dinner bucket is as
much a necessity in the community as
the one who owns the largest bank.
The largest ranchowner is not more
valuable in the general scheme OF
things than the poorer man on his
own acre with his one COW.
And now Nj McClellAnd has been
over his whole district. which com
prises a goodly section OF Colorado.
He has checked and re-checked the
wants Of the people, and he says; Il
will see that they get what they want.

Mr. McClelland says Knowing his
district, he can bring to it the things
II needs in the way of wise Legislation,
public buildings and government en-
terprises Being a Republican he will
be in the midst Of a Republican ma
jority. whers he can win things which
no Democrat could obtain. A vote for
McClelland is Just horse sense and
