b T 1 J "t - i THE' Daily Nebraskan Heio, Colgate Hello, Colgate! KAPPA LEADS BY NARROW MARGIN Awgwan Contest CIoe To night; Book and Money Must Be in by Six. pi PHI, DELTA ZETA, AND THETA ARE NEXT Leading by a smaller margin than ever before the Kappa Kappa Gamma sorority was in first place in the Aw gwan subscription contest late yes terday. Close behind were Pi Beta phi. Delta ZeU, and Kappa Alpha Theta. Few changes in positions were a hosiifos these, although Chi iiui - ' Omega sorority came from twelfth to sixth place and Alpha Chi Omega changed from fifteenth to eighth place. With practically every soror ity in the race, the third day was without doubt the most warmly con tested of any so far. So close is the contest that the winner can not be known until re sults of the final day's campaigning are checked up tonight. In order to facilitate early announcement of the successful sorority all books and money must be turned in at the Aw gwan office in University Hall 10 by six o'clock. The winner will be an nounced Sunday. The standings of the contestants last night, including the block sub scriptions of each sorority which took one, are as follows: Kappa Kappa Gamma Pi Beta Phi Delta ZeU Kappa Alpha Theta Alpha Phi Chi Omega Phi Ma Alpha Chi Omega Kappa Delta Alpha Delta Pi Delta Gamma Delta Delta Delta Alpha Omicron Pi Alpha Xi Delta Sigma Kappa Alpha Delta Theta Gamma Phi Beta Phi Omega Pi. The fact that the winner is by no means decided will probably make to day an interesting one in the cam paign, said Clayton B. Snow, '26, Chadron, business manager. The win ner will receive twenty-five subscrip tions to the Awgwan. In addition the staff has arranged for the second is sue to be dedicated to that sorority.

The following statement in regard to junior pictures was issued yester day by the management of the l2o Cornhusker: "Only a month is left to take jun ior pictures and there are seven hun dred juniors yet to be taken.

Any student having from fifty-three to eighty-eight hours is considered a junior. We also urge sororities to make their oppointments at once.

Hastings of the Law Col lege. "One of the objects of the organ ization," said Mr. Mutz, "was to study the Corrupt Practices Act and in the course of the club's activities the members appeared at the polling places on election day checking vot ers and reporting illegal voting and corrupt practices. One of the inter esting developments in the election was the passing out of cigars, gum, and candy by Republican candidates and in the labor wards of the city, the Republican ward-healers rounded up the ignorant voters in groups, herded them into the polls with in structions to vote the ticket straight'' Mr. Mutt further says that the Democratic club of that year chal lenged the republican club to a de bate, but the Republican club refused to accept the challenge. Ths mem bers of ths club finished the Univer sity in 1910 and 1911, and in 1912 new ofifesrs were elected and the club was very active la eampsigninf for Woodrcw Wilson.

SORENSON GIVES PROGRESSIVE OUTLINE "Mr. Coolidge and Mr. Davis are both fine men, but the election of a president is not a matter of person alities, but of political philosophies and neither of them stand for the progressive things that Senator La Follette favors," declared C. A. Sor- enson, '13, Lincoln attorney, in out lining the principes of the LaFollette- Wheeler movement at the first meet ing of the Word Forum at the Grand Hotel Wednesday noon. "Both of them, by their own state ments, honestly believe that big busi ness has made this country what it is and that it is the foundation of our very civilization. We progres sives believe that it is the rank and file, the common people, that have developed the nation. "Mr. Coolidge is a typical product of the New England political ma chine. By successive steps he rose from councilman in a small city to vice-president of the United States. Had he not been suddenly placed in the White House he would never be a candidate now. In fact it was ori ginally planned not to renominate him for vice-president. "It is the Repubicans' sincere be lief in big business that explains their support of the ship subsidy, the Mel lon bill to reduce taxes on large in comes, and the high tariff. Then when the farmers asked for the pas sage of the McNary-Haugen bill pro viding for the protection of the farm er it was the New England Republi cans that defeated it. "The progressive political reforms which have now been accepted by everyone, were without exception pushed by such men as LaFollette and fought by stand-patters like Cool idge. It was that way with the fight for direct election of United States senators, the income tax, and the child labor amendment. "LaFollette is a mid-western man who understands the needs of the west He stands for the things that will be of benefit to the people as a whole, not for a privileged class. "The merits of the proposed amendment to the state constitution providing for the election of all coun ty an dstate officers on a non-political ballot was aso advanced by Mr. Sorenson. "These local offices should be fill ed by the best men, not by the men who happen to be on the right side of national issues." The merits of the democratic side will be set forth next week by Con gressman John H. Morchead and R. H. Thorpe will speak for the Repub licans the following week. The World Forum meets every Wednesday noon at the Grand Hotel to hear discus sions of various political and social topics.

If any torches are lit during the rally it will be ne cessary to stop the program. Everyone is urged by Duke Glea son to learn the following song for the rally Friday evening.
