During that time Iee and M( Reynolds were following , him closely, ready to jump in, When he finally struck the commerce argument squarely. Lee let go. and McReynolds prepared to attack him. Mr. Daven port's s'gumeut was mainly a mixture of narrative and commerce He spoke with great clearness and ease, but as one of the St. Louis papers expressed it the next morning. Nebraska made him an object of "Instant and igorous attae k " McReynolds dioe home Nebraska's analysis, which all three judges afteix wards said was absolutely fair. Then he bowled over Washington's argument that the jMonroe Doctrine was obso lete, and then hit their commerce ar gument squarely. This commerce ar gument. Judges Woodburn and Weath erly characterized as simply bed-rock. With this commerce argument Wash ington could do nothing. The second Washington speaker was Armstrong, law '05. who Ignored Ne braska's commerce argument and ran headlong into Lee, Nebraska's second speaker. I eo hammered on refutation of the "obsolete' argument, knocked over Armstrong's contention that the Mon roe Doctrine transgressed the eco nomic rights of Europe and South America, and sprang a chart showing the general progress of South America in answer to Armstrong's Instability of argument. After further rapid-fire refutation he went after Washington's "Peace and Safety" argument, destroy ing It completely.

BRYAN SPEAKS Address the Jeffersonian Club To-Night. At 8 o'cloi k this- evening Hon. W J. Bryan will address the student body and the citizens of Lincoln on the pubject of "Principle In Politics." The meeting will be in Memorial hall, and under the auspices of the Jeffersonian "Democratic club of the University, nn organization which was founded in 18015. and has taken nn active part in each successive cam paign until now, with a membership of more than one hundred it has be come a prominent factor among Uni versity students.

It is not a partisan question, but purely nn appeal for more slrjtJht-for-wnrd manliness in all parties, and as one rounded in-experience and full of his subject he certainly owes the hand of prominence to no one. STORY OF DEBATE Account 'of Winning of Seventh Straight Vict 07. Ntebraska's victorious debaters re turned from St. Louis yesterday after noon, and were greeted by the band and an enthusiastic crowd of students. A procession was formed at the depot, and led by the band It proceeded up P slreot and down Eleventh to the Uni versity grounds. There, amid gpnera'. demonstrations short ' speeches were made by Professor Fogg and each of the threo debaters. They all expressed their pleasure in the reception accord ed them and with their experiences of tho trip In general. The debate was a remarkably clean cut victory for Nebraska. A unanlmoui decision was rendered after less than one minute of consultation. In fact the conclusion was arrived at almost Instantly, as one of the judges ex pressed IL The overwhelming force or Nebraska's argument is best shown by the opinions expressed after the de bate by tho judges. One of them said: "Wo Bhut the door. I said, 'This belongs to Nebraska." Another said: 'So I say,' and the third said. 'Make it unanimous.' That's all there was to it." The judges were Prof. J. A. Wood burn, professor of history and polities in the University of Indiana: Prof. N. G. Weathelly, professor of econom . ics in the University of Indiana, and Judge O. H. Dean, 'president of the Kansas City Law School. Professors Woodbur and Wetherly commented on how Nebraska put Washington on the run at the start and kept her there. Judge Dean said: "I am going to tell my students what can be done in Intercollegiate debate. The first lesson a student should learn especially stu dents of tho law Is thoroughness, go ing to the bottom of the subject." Members of the Washington faculty said that tho result of the debate would be to give Washington a shaking up In her Ideas as to what debating is: Professor Fogg made the following brief statement last night: "The Unl erslty could ask of Its representatives no more conclusive victory than that scored Friday night."

Thero the members of the team dined during their stay. They were xjuar terqd at a college dormitory nearby. On Thursday Professor Fogg and the men did somo final bits of work on the case. Reporters for the Republic, Post-Dispatch, Globe-Democrat, and Star came up for Interviews on the team and the victories Nebraska had won. Pictures of the team appeared In these four papers, and considerable space was devoted to discussion of the debate. The members of tho team slept prac tically all Friday afternoon. The de bate took place In Memorial hall, a handsome walnut furnished room In the Fine Arts Museum of Washington University. ' ::M In this room the seats are at theatre pitch. The team .arrived there three-quarters of an hour before the debate, and unpacked its library, which was taken down In a football trunk. The charts had been taken down early In the evening, but quite a delay was experi enced in having these fitted, so that the doors wero kept closed until a quarter of an hour after the regular time for, opening. The audience was a flno' University assemblage, being both sympathetic and intelligent. Prof. A. W. Winston of Washington University presided.
