FLEHERTY EXPLAINS
PARTY DIFFERENCES
Democratic Candidate for Attorney-general
Addresses
World Forum.
The fundamental differenca be
tween the Republican and Democrat
ic partiea were explained by Harry B.
Fleherty, Omaha attorney, and Dem
ocratic candidate for attorney-general
of Nebraska, at the World
Forum luncheon Wednesday at the
Grand Hotel. The proposed constitu
tional amendment to remove the party
circle and party designations from
the ballot was attacked by the speak
er. "Since the time of Alexander Ham
ilton those in the party now known
as the Republican party have believed
in the absolute sovereignty of the gov
ernment. They have held the govern
ment is supreme and that the people
have only such rights as the govern
ment gives them," decalred Mr. Fle
hcarty. Parties Not Sam.
"The followers of Thomas Jeffer
son, the Democrats, believe that the
people are supreme and that the gov
ernment has only such powers as the
people confer upon it. The idea ad
vanced recently that the two parties
are fundamentally the same is ab
surd," continued the speaker.
Following up the difference be
tween the parties, Mr. Fleherty
showed how this difference was evi
dent in the tariff policies of the two.
The Republicans aid certain individ
uals by erecting a high tariff wall
irotecting a certain industry while
the democrats favor tariff only as a
means of raising necessary revenue.
Tariff Not for Farmer.
"It is absolutely impossible to help
the farmer by putting a high tariff
on agricultural products," said Mr.
Fleherty, "because the farmer is not
confronted with an incoming supply
which h mnt comnete against: his
problem is to market a surplus."
Mr. Fleherty opposed the amend
ment to take the party circle and
designation off the ballot. He said
that the principle of the parties,
which he held were fundamental and
necessary differences, would be lost
and the entire responsibility thrown
on the individual.

WILL DEBATE ON
KLAN QUESTION
Teams Arne Over "Should
State Governments Make
the Klan Illegal?"
STUDENTS ASKED TO
TRY OUT FOR SQUADS
The Question selected by Delta
Sigma Rho, national intercollegiate
debate society, for the interclass de
bates this year, has been changed.
The question now reads, "Should
State Governments Make the Ku
Klux Klan Illegal?"
The change in the question was
made because of a lack of definite
understanding of the meaning of the
word "legislate." The subject for
the debate as the question is now
stated, is that of making the plan
illegal, and not merely legislating
against it.
Students who wish to' try out for
the teams should leave their names
with Hugh Cox in the Daily Nebras
kan office, by Monday evening. The
time and place of the Tuesday try
outs will be anonunced Tuesday
morning.
Each speaker in the tryouts will
be given five minutes and should use
both direct argument and refutation
in his speech. The first speaker will
be limited to four minutes of direct
argument, but will be allowed two
minutes for rebuttal after the other
speeches.
Debates will be held within a
month after tryouts. The fieshmen
debate the sophomores and the jun
iors and seniors meet in the first
round debates. The two winners will
meet later in the finals. Last year
the freshmen came out winners, de
bating on the question of the uni
cameral legislature.
All students with debating experi
ence in high schools or in University
are urged to compete in the tryouts.
Judges will be composed of the fac
ulty and alumni debaters in the city.
AG CONVOCATION TO

New Members of National
Honorary Society Will Be
Announced Then.
A College of Agriculture convoca
tion will be held Thursday morning
at the auditorium in Agricultural
hall. The new members of A!pha
Zeta and Omicron Nu will be an

Zeta is a national organization of
men in Agricultural colleges who
rate the highest scholastically and
are leaders in their college. - The
Omicron Nu is a similar national r
ganization of women.
At this convocation, the sophomore
in Ag College who has had the high
est kcboUitic srerage during his
freshman year, will be awarded a
medal by the Alpha Zeta. George
Beadle, Waboo, was the winner of
this medal last year.

IAHTS HARiSMEN;'
FOR RIFLE SQUAD
Captain Eggers Says Letters
Will Be Given to Men
Shooting in Matches.
Captain L. W. Eggers, director of
rifle marksmanship, has issued a
call for men to try out for the rifle
team. As a result of the action of
the Athletic department last year,
men shooting in a specified number
of matches will receive an N. This
classifies rifle marksmanship as a
minor sport at the University. Bui
recently the N club announced that
men receiving the letter awarded for
marksmanship would be eligible for
membership.
Any man eligible for any other
sport is now eligible for competition
in rifle matches and eligible lor
competition for the N, according to
Captain Eggers. Placed upon this
new basis, it is hoped that instead of
winning forty-eight of fifty-one
matches as the team did last year, it
can every one of them this year.
No matches have been scheduled
yet. It is thought possible that the
team may make one trip to fire on
another course and invite one team
here to fire on this course. As soon
as a schedule is arranged and the
team is picked, record fire will start.

ARMORY WILL HAVE
AIR OF WILD WEST
Committee chairmen for the an
nual military carnival have been an
nounced by Roland Eastabrooks,

The following motions were unan

its meeting at 4 o clock at tllen
Smith Hall:
1. One downtown representative
party and one house party shall be
subtracted from the minimum num
ber usually allowed during the year
and this shall constitute the max
imum number of parties given.
2. Any organiztion violating any
University rule is thereby automatic
ally placed on probation.
3. Any organization on probation
again violating a rule shall become
subject to the penalty of being for
bidden the privilege to schedule any
further during the year, and to such
other penalties as may be imposed.
Investigations have not . been com
pleted, it was stated by members of
the committee, and fraternities and
sororities later found to have given
"sneak-night" parties will be pun
ished with the rest.
Miss Amanda Heppner, dean cf
women, issued the following state
ment: "When it comes to harmless
pranks such as have been played in
the past by unmixed groups, and not
until the second semester, such seri
ous action is not necessary; but when
they violate laws of the University
and set a precedent for other groups,
then it is really a serious matter and
one that requires action on the part
of the University authorities."
Infractions of two University rules
were committed by those who attend
ed "sneak-night" parties, Miss Hepp
ner stated. The holding of mid-week
parties is one, and the holding of a
party not scheduled with the author
ities and without chaperones is the
other.
The motions passed by the com
mittee are retroactive, beginning
with the present school year. Gen
eral indignation was felt by members
of the committee, it was stated, but
more stringent action was not taken
because it was thought that ths
freshmen were not acquainted with
University rules.
Some of these parties, it was said,
were held at parks and clubhouses
outside of Lincoln, and others at
party houses in town. One of the ob
jections was that the parties lasted
later than 10:30, the hour at which
all University women are expected to
be at home. Usually the parties were
informal dances.

Weak Track Team.
All men who intend to try out for

Coach Schulte declares that it is
necessary fo candidates in the shot
