Bryanites And Radicals Unite Issues
And Stampede Presidential Convention
TWENTY-ONE SEMORS
MAKE PHI BETA KAPPA
The First Mock Political Convention Bring* Out A Large Number of Stu­
dents And Gives Vivid Illustration Of National Con­
vention In Session—Galleries Filled.
W. J. BRYAN IS CHOICE ON SECOND BALLO;
Bryan. Wilson, La Follette, Taft, Roosevelt, Debs And Stewart Named As 
Candidates. Progressives And Radicals Control The 
Convention.—Newsboys Act As Delegates’ Pages
Hon. William Jcm. ags Bryan was 
nominated candidate for our next 
president at the independent national 
convention at the Armory last night, 
by a large majority, upon an exceed­
ingly progressive, almost radical plat­
form, containing initiative, referen­
dum, recall, preferential presidential 
primaries, downward revision of tar­
iff, prohibition, income tax and non­
ship subsidy planks.
It was evident early in the evening 
that Bryan would lead, but no one 
thought that Speers.the Bryan leader, 
had his forces as well organized as 
he did. In the first vote Roosevelt 
and La Follette did not show up as 
strong as expected,while Taft’s show­
ing was a great surprise.
The result in the first vote was 
Bryan 143. Wilson 71, Taft 68, La 
Follette 68, Roosevelt 66, Debs 7 
and Stewart 28. la the final votes1 f ' *many of tb« delegate# were anxious •We St»t*4«jr GtUem oi Arfc*M*
yates and spectators. The proceeds 
of the sale will be used in defraying 
the expenses of a banquet to the sen­
ior girls’ Cap and Gown Society. The 
senior girls also held a candy sale in 
a booth in the rear of the Armory.
George Wycoff was in charge of 
ten newsboys, members of the St. 
Paul boys’ club, who acted as pages 
for the convention delegates.
The Convention in Detail.
The meeting was called to order by 
Marc Fraser, chairman of national 
central committee, after the delega­
tions representing every state and 
Alaska, Hawaii, and the Philippines 
as well, had settled into their allotted 
places. Mr. Fraser paid tribute to the 
efforts of the Good Government Club 
and to its president, Gregg Sinclair, 
for their efforts in bringing about the 
convention. After the formal call to 
the convention was read, the Honor-
“IBSEN’S GREATEST DRAMA”
This is Dr. Burton’s Estimate of the 
“Pretenders”—Although Seldom 
Heard It is Best.
to leave, and consequently the final 
count does not fairly represent stud­
ent preference. The Wilson forces 
ceded practically all their votes to 
Bryan.
Taft Surprisingly Strong.
As no candidate received a majority 
in the first ballot, the chairman order­
ed a second roll to be called. The 
results of this were as follows:
Bryan 204, Taft 69, Roosevelt 42, 
La Follette 62, Debs 2. A motion 
was then passed providing that the 
candidate receiving the majority of 
delegated votes be declared the canri- 
date of the convention, Wm. Jennings 
Bryan receiving the majority.
The expected fight against woman 
suffrage of which Beaton and Harris 
were the leaders was not forthcom­
ing. Each man expected the other to 
lead so the responsibility was shifted 
from one to the other. The women 
had been busy the day before and 
sentiment was so strong in their favor 
that the committee report allowing 
solid women delegations was quickly 
and quietly railroaded through.
The delegates began to arrive quite 
awhile before time for t.ie opening. 
Thq different states carried banners 
and flags of all descriptions with 
names of the states painted upon 
them, and the women hung a 
“Votes for Women” sign from the 
balcony. The faculty, only a few of 
whom were present, sat on the plat­
form. There were about 550 dele­
gates present and the balconies were 
well filled with spectators.
Enthusiasm ran high early in the 
evening , but even amid the cheering 
and confusion the states were finally 
seated in alphabetical order. For 
some unactountable reason there was 
no delegation from Mississippi. The 
women had solid delegations from 'six 
states.
charge of the meeting.
Mr. Gillam, upon taking the chair, 
gave the key-note speech of the even­
ing, an eloquent diagnosis of modern 
democratic progressiveness,emphasiz­
ing the world wide trend toward 
democracy and urging strong pro­
gress measures.
He showed how the energies of the 
present and past decade have been 
bent toward political developments, 
and less toward the solution of econ­
omic problems.
Upon the recommendattion of the 
permanent organization committee 
Mr. Gregg Sinclair was nominated 
and unanimously elected permanent 
chairman of the convention. The 
Hon. Messrs. Reeves, Waters and 
Vaughan escorted Mr. Sinclair amid 
loud and prolonged applause, to the 
chair.
Mr. Sinclair in his speech summed 
up the problems which confront the 
Americans of today, and urged that 
scientific methods be applied more 
extensively to the solution of politi­
cal difficulties. His speech was pro­
gressive in trend, as was the former 
one.
The report of the rules committee 
was called for and adopted. The plat­
form committee was then asked for a 
report which was read by Walter 
West, and was a progressive platform 
embodying initiative, referendum, re- 
call.preferential presidential primaries, 
downward revision of tariff and other 
radically progressive planks. An ef­
fort was made to railroad the report 
through without recognition, but Mr. 
Fabian demanded recognition
He read a minority report protest­
ing against the judicial recall plank in 
the platform. In this report charges 
were freely made that the platform 
was rfeilroaded through the commit­
tee by machine methods, and that 
upon the platform as formulated one
Dr. Burton has given the following 
criticism on the Pretenders: “On the 
whole, ‘The Pretenders’ is perhaps 
Ibsen’s greatest drama of his first, 
or romantic period. It is not only 
one of the finest as well as least seen 
of all his plays, but a piece of liter­
ature in its kind ranking with the 
finest in the history of the drama. Al­
though it deals with early Norwegian 
history, its implication is world wide, 
and besides , it has an intensely in­
teresting autobiographic flavor, its 
two leading characters standing for 
Ibsen and his friend and fellow gen­
ius Bjornson. Minneapolis has never 
had an opportunity to witness this 
play, and all who care for literature 
in dramatic form ought to welcome 
the privilege and be grateful to our 
Dramatic Club for enabling local 
audiences to study and enjoy it in its 
stage life. The university, in giving 
it, is living up to its ideal of serv­
ing the community.”

Academics Evolve Clever Stunt—En­
gineers in Musical Sketch— 
Music by Allen.
“Nine Nifty Niggahs; Introducing 
the Two Gold Dust Twins,” is the 
title of the minstrel show which the 
sophomore academic students will put 
on at the Sophomore Vaudeville 
Monday evening, in chapel. The par­
ticipants are: Ruth Knowlton, Helen 
Knowlton, Katherine Leland, Flor­
ence Swanson, Marjorie Mix, Arline 
Peachey, Sieford Stellwagen, Ben 
Webster, and Frances Statswold.
The sophomore engineers have also 
decided on their stunt. It is a musi­
cal skit entitled “Corporal Hallings- 
worth,” or “The Daisy Tossers” and 
will include many original catchy 
songs by Edgar Allen, ’ir. The fol­
lowing will take part in it: Fletcher 
Rockwood, Leo Dawn, Ripley Doer, 
Renville Rankin, Cedric Smith, Leslie 
Mitchell,Clarence Lilly,Harold Rock­
well, and Karl Fastenan.
Eugene Bibb Played Three Selections 
on the Violin in the Chapel 
Assembly.
The following seniors were elected 
to membership in Phi Beta Kappa at 
a meeting of the society held Tues­
day night and their names were made 
public for the first time in Chapel 
assembly yesterday:
Earle C. Bailie, M. Augusta Bjel- 
danes, Homer W. Borst, Alice Bran­
ham, Bertha M. Brechet, Lydia B.

Reverend Richardson of the Y. M. 
C. A. conducted chapel exercises in 
the absence of President Vincent and 
preceded his reading of the names 
by a brief statement from the consti­
tution of the society. This statement 
characterized the aims of the Phi 
Beta Kappa society as follows:
"Phi Beta Kappa stands for schol­
arship in all '•laments of » 4ib- 
eral education, specialization in one 
department being recognized only if 
based upon excellence in others. The 
society desires neither those who by 
mere plodding have attained to aver­
age excellence in several lines of 
study without giving evidence of su­
perior interest and ability in any, nor 
those who have shown power in a 
single direction to the exclusion of 
an intelligent interest in others.”
Preceding the annoucement of Phi 
Beta Kappa honors, Eugent Bibb 
played three selections on the violin,
Mazurka,” by Wieniawski; “Shep­
herd’s Dance,” by German, and “Sou­
venir, by Drdla. As an encore he 
played Ditterdorf’s "German Dance.”

PRAISE FOR THE CONVENTION
The convention is all over, but it 
will be a matter of conversation for 
some time to come. Comments of 
every kind have been heard about 
the affair for the past two weeks, and 
the most exciting events of all hap­
pened last night.
The principal thing about the con­
vention, however, is not who won or 
who lost, but that the affair created 
so much interest among the students. 
The convention is just the sort of 
student activity that is instructive as 
well as interesting and exciting.
Politics needs a great deal of study 
on the part of all the citizens of the 
United States, including the womyi. 
As college graduates are expected to 
be the leaders of their respective 
communities after they have left col­
lege, they should be able to lead in 
politics as well. It takes a great deal 
of intelligence and lots of study. One 
of the chief criticisms of the Ameri­
can people is their indifferent attitude 
towards politics. The college man or 
woman ought to be the one to start 
a revival of interest. Polities will 
improve when more and better citi­
zens take an active part.
Anyway, the convention was a sue- 
cess. It is one of the real big stu­
dent enterprises of the last few years. 
It ranks with last year’s May Fete 
and things of that kind. A great deal 
of credit is due the students who la­
bored for its success.
The convention did a great deal for 
the student body. Besides showing 
some of the actual phases of politics 
which are not ordinarily known to 
college students, it has aroused great 
interest in the politics of the country. 
And the convention was a good thing 
for the university. It ought to show 
•some of the people of the state that 
there are some, at least, of the stud­
ents here who are not wasting all 
their time. It is an enterprise that 
stands for something. Let us hope 
that four years from now the stud­
ents at the University of Minnesota 
will have another mock convention.
BRYANITES AND RADICALS
STAMPEDE CONVENTION.

could by any possibility be elected.
The Hon. Mr. Speer as a member 
of the platform committee, took issue 
with Mr. Fabian’s statement that the 
steam-roller was used, and declared 
i that the judicial recall was essential 
to true progressiveness, and called 
upon every one who called himself 
a progressive to support the plank.
Mr. Hodson in turn attacked Mr.
Speer’s statement that the judicial re­
call is a principle of the true progres­
sive and declared that the judicial 
recall aimed at the very life and use­
fulness of the bench. A roll-call was 
demanded which resulted in the loss 
of the motion by 213-199.
The Hon. Mr. Markve then pres­
ented a second minority report con­
demning the methods employed in the 
platform committee meeting, and ad­
vocating a prohibition plank. A hand- 
vote was taken, but resulted in vic­
tory for the drys 247-211. Many of 
the suffragettes voted against prohib­
ition. The rest of the platform was 
then carried.
Upon roll-call by states for nomin­
ations, Hon. Geo. Gamble of New 
Jersey nominated Gov. Woodrow 
Wilson. Robt. La Follette was nom­
inated by Theo. Thompson, and Miss 
Tillie Well, the suffragette leader 
seconded. Joe Carrol nominated 
Tljeo. Roosevelt, Ray Speers chose 
Bryan. Latimer spoke for Debs, 
Burgstahler nominated the prohibi­
tion candidate, Oliver Stewart, and 
Mr. Hodson brought the name of 
William Howard Taft before the con­
vention.

Prof Tweakitt of the Archeological

Over Minnehaha.
The Devil’s-Own-Number of the 
Minnehaha which appears tomorrow 
has been received by Prof. Tweakitt 
of the Archeological department in 
strong terms.
“The whole performance to my 
mind, borders on the inelegant. The 
denunciation of various members of 
the faculty is uncalled for. We al­
ways have the best interests of the 
students at heart.
“The editorial attack on Dean 
Downey called forth by his recent ac­
tion regarding the political meetings 
being held on the campus, I think I 
may say with due moderation, is li­
belous and profane. The Dean should 
take action against the editors of 
this publication at once, for speech 
unbecoming gentlemen.
“The problem play which bur­
lesques Dr. Craig and the honor sys­
tem, I need not discuss. The whole 
attitude maintained, in this piece, to 
my mind, is light and unwholesome. 
The rest of the issue is fair enough 
and, will doubtless find readers 
among the lighter and more frivilous 
minded of the student body.”

Help the Famine Sufferers!
Following the lead of Columbia and 
Yale, the students of Minnesota will 
today be given an opportunity to 
help the famine sufferers of Central 
China. The Red Cross Society has 
taken the matter up, and with a view 
to preventing such floods and famines 
in the future, is putting the popula­

Red Cross Society is greatly in need 
of money to keep the people alive 
until the next crop, in May. As two 
cents will keep a man alive for a day, 
even small contsibutions to this fund 
will be of great value. Contribstion

“WHITE WASHING” EXPECTED
Presidents at Session at Chicago Will 
Probably Recommend “Immunity 
Bath” to Conference.
The meeting of the presidents at 
Chicago, according to the present 
outlook will not accomplish more 
than to recommend measures to be 
acted upon by the regular conference 
meeting later on. Considerable disap­
pointment is felt in that the “white­
washing” of the athletes who confess­
ed to minor offenses is thus put off 
to an indefinite date, and in all proba­
bility, action of any kind will be too 
late to clear some of the best men 
who are slated to represent Minneso­
ta at Chicago, March 29-30.
Among other measures expected to 
be advocated by the presidents is 
that of the “immunity” bbth, although 
Chicago’s attitude has been adverse 
to this from the first. President 
Harris of Northwestern expressed 
himself as follows:
“The enforcement of the amateur 
rule to the limit at Minnesota has 
worked hardships on that institution, 
in the case of her present track ath­
letics. I believe that the ‘immunity’ 
bath should be provided for those 
cases up to a certain time before he 
enters college. It might be placed at 
One year.”
ALUMNAE TO PUT JUNIORS
Geneva to Be Discussed.
The “Geneva Conference” will be 
the subject for discussion at the Y. 
W. C. A. meeting today, at 12:00 
o’clock. Mrs. Franklin W. Sweet, 
Truma Brockway, Ruth Elwell, Eva- 
lyn Camp, Erma Forbes, and Eliza­
beth Ware will discuss various phases 
of the conference.
Dents Elect for Council.
The dental college students held 
their election for the Students’ Coun­
cil Saturday. James Weeks was 
elected by a plurality of one vote 
over Dennis Hogan. The other two 
candidates, Arthur Juni and Joseph 
Little were but a few votes behind 
the winner.
The question of required morning 
chapel at Yale was favored by a large 
majority of seniors who voted on it.
The Alumnae Will Play Off the Bas­
ket Ball Challenge Friday in 
the Armory.
The challenge of the Alumnae 
girls of the university to play the 
winners of the Girls’ Annual Basket 
Ball Tournament, has been accepted 
by the juniors and the championship 
game will be played in the Armory 
Friday night of this week.
The alumni team is composed of 
such old stars as Marjorie Simmons, 
Nell Loberg, Ruth Erickson, Helen 
Cummins, and Polly Brown, so that 
an exceedingly fast game is loojced 
for. The juniors by virtue of win­
ning the university title have clearly- 
shown their ability, and with any 
break in luck should stand more than 
an even chance of winning.
The game will begin at 8:15 and 
the university band will be on hand

DlNKl That' s our recipe for taking the 
* bite out of good tobacco leaf. We hang 
the leaf in the warehouse for two years— 
temperature and ventilation i perfect — all 
harshness disappears. A mellowness pre­
vails that gives superb flavor and a smooth­
ness seldom found. This is the good old 
fashioned way of maturing good leaf—and 
Velvet is a startling example of tobacco 
goodness. Sometime when your'pipe is 
huming hot and the taste is flat—try 
Velvet 1 At all dealers.
