The annual financial campaign of

this morning with fifty solicitors on
the ground and ready for work. The
scope of the work laid out for the

has ever been before, and every effort
is being made to pave the way for its
success from a financial standpoint.
As in the past, the men of the Uni

work a buccoss by pledging a part of
the necessary money. Part of the ex
pense will be borne by subscriptions
from the alumni, parents and faculty,
and Bpecial gifts. Upon the students
falls the responsibility for the rest of
the budget.
Solicitors Well Organized.
The workers In thlB extensivo cam
paign are more highly organized than
they have ever been before. Monday
evening forty-four association men met
in the red room of the City Y. M. C. A.
for a feed, a Burvey of the work, and a
discussion of the plan to be followed.
Short speeches were made by Arnold,
Reitzel, Sinkie, Brown and NippB. The
men present closed the mooting by
subscribing $400 as a neucleus for the
amount which must be raised.
Tho plan for the campaign is simple
and effective. Each of the fifty solici
tors has a list of twenty-four students
whom he knows and to each of these
he will present the cause within the
next four days Each night the work
ers will report to the team captains at
the dinner hour in the red room.

WILSON TO bPEAK
PRESIDENTIAL CANDIDATE TO
TALK IN TEMPLE SAT. NIGHT.
OCCASION TO BE NON-PARTISAN
Governor Wilson Will Speak to Stu
dents Following the Auditorium
Meeting Local Club Will
Be Escort.
Woodrow WilBon, formerly president
of Princeton University, and a candi
date for president of the United States,
will speak to the students of the Uni
versity Saturday while stopping in
Lincoln.
It is expected that the WilBon greet
ing will be one of the most notable
non-partisan affairs in tho hiBtory of
the institution.
Governor Wilson will address the
students in the Temple at 9 o'clock
Saturday night. He will come direct
from the Auditorium to the Temple
Btage.
Chancellor Avery, who Ib a personal
friend of Governor Wilson, will prob
ably be one the platform, but will
take no part in the ceremonies. It Is
the desire of the committee in charge
to attach aB little political significance
to the occasion as poBsible. The Uni
versity's greeting to Governor WilBon
will be but a cordial expression of re
spect and regard for hla scholarly at
tainments. (Continued on Page Four)
COACH TESTS LINE
GIVES 8QUAD A STIFF WORKOUT
AND ENDS WITH 8CRIMMAGE.
NOT SATISFIED WITH RESULTS
Mastln, Gibson and Allen on Hospital
List Cornhusker Stock Rising
Nevertheless.
Whether or not the squad will round
out Into a well-balanced, aggressive
team is the question that Is bothering
the fans. Even though to the casual
spectator the team seems to be get
.ting their fighting clothes on, "Jumbo"
Is yet dissatisfied. Only once last
night, when the varsity plowed through
the whole "scrub" squad, again and
again, did he admit that the team
might bo able to play genuine football.
The coach spent most of his time
hiBt night in trying to strengthen the
regulars' line. The result of his work
was shown when tho varsity lined up
for scrimmage In the last fifteen min
utes of practice. Three times they
went through the "scrubs" for touch
downs. Potter was at the helm, the
line opened big holes, and the backs
hit the opposition bo hard that the
"pop" could be heard on the sldj) lines
Then Stlehm placed the ball on the
ten-yard line and defied the entire
strength of the "Bcrubs" to hold the
varsity. And once again the ball was
carried over the goal lines for a touch
down. (Continued on Page Three)
JUNIOR MEN OUT

Sophomores Quiet Mulligan Btl II
Only 8enior Candidate

The second shot In the political
fight which comes to a climax noxt
Tuesday was fired yesterday, when
two men announced themHelveB as
candidates for the presidency of tho
Junior clasB Fred Trumble comes
from Mlnden, Ib an Agricultural Col
lege man, has served on several hop
and other committees In his sopho
more year, and Ib a member of Sigma
Nu fraternity. Clark Dlckonaen Ib a
Lincoln High man, was president of
his sonlor class, has been a member
of the University debating squad for
the last two years, and wan a member
of the sophomore class debating team
last year Both men are well known

years.
In tho freshman class the first can

Dennis, Temple High, announced hlm
Bolf. He is a well-known man among
the Lincoln students, and has featured

No sophomores have appeared to

In the class of 1915.
In the senior clasB no further candi
dates have come out, and Mulligan is
the only aspirant for the place. Fil
