The Grant County Herald of Elbow
Lake pays great tribute to the work
ofsthe WiAmar debaters, who were de-
feated at that place q short time ago:
Elbow Lake defeated Willmar in the
debating contest last Friday evening
by q unanimous decision of the
judges. That, in q nutshell relates an
achievement that is one of the proud
est and most praiseworthy records
made by representatives of the Elbow
Lake school, In any contest with the
representatives of another school.
Perhaps It is not untimely to re-
peat that In Minnesota, there is a
State High School Debating League.
1t Is made up of all the high schools
that care to enter.
The question was Resolved, that
immigration into the United States
should be further restricted by means
of q literary test Willmar had the
affirmative of the question and Elbow
Lake the negative. The judges were
Hon Leonard Erickson, lawyer and
mayor Of the city of Fergus Falls, C..
A. Prestrud, banker Of Preston, MINI.
and Supt. Yockey of the Alexandria
schools. Ten minutes for the main
argument and five for rebuttal were
allowed each speaker.
Joseph Chase, Evelyn Anderson and
Geraldine Haley represented Willmar.
while Cora Wagner, Richard Dolls
and Phillip Jacobson represented FL
bow Lake. The Willmar team are
seasoned veterans, and It is their due.
and quite appropriate to say that they
are the strongest, as well as the
most charming trio that Elbow Lake
has ever stacked up against. Joseph
Chase is rapid fire gun speaker of
the Vincent type, and Evelyn Ander.
son and Geraldine Haley are eloquent
and forceful speakers, whose enunci-
alton and delivery give added weight
to their argument.
The strength of the Elbow Lake
team lies in the fact that each speak
er sticks everlastingly to his text, and
is loaded to the brim to meet in coun.
ter-attack every proposition advanced
by the opposition. As heretofore
stated the decision was unanimous in
favor Of Elbow Lake. The members
Of the Willmar team were gracious
losers, and no. one present appeared
to be more hearty or sincere in ex-
tending congratulations and best
wishes for success in the contests
that are still to be fought by the vic
tors of the evening.
