All of the shouting students of the University were at the Bowersock Opera House at eight o'clock Saturday night to help convince the delegates from Nebraska that the United States should own, operate and fortify the Nicaraguan Canal. The Jayhawker Quartette was there; the band was there. The Sigma Chi fraternity occupied the two lower boxes to do honor to their brother, Mr. H. H. Tangeman, who was one of the three Kansas debaters After the band had played their piece two or three times,the curtain rose,and they played it again. Dr. Burdick presided and announced the question resolved. "That the United States should own,operate and fortify the Nicaraguan Canal;" he then read the rules governoring the debate. As Kansas had the affirmative, the debate was opened by a Kansas speaker. The debaters were as follows: Affirmative, Kansas: J A. Delvin, H. H. Tangeman, C F. Runold. Negative, Nebraska: W. F. Mier, H J. Theobald, G. A Johnson. Rebuttal, Kansas: H. H. Tangageman; Nebraska: G. A. Johnson.
The debating was spirited; the speeches were clear and forceful. Kansas out did Nebraska in team work. G. A. Johnson of the negative showed the most clear minded and logical reasoning, and, in spite of the fact that he was not a ready talker, he would have made Kansas look to her laurels if he had handled the negative alone. The Kansas speakers received vigorous support from the audience. While the votes of the judges were being collected the Jayhawker Quartette sang "Hark! The Trumpet Calleth!" by Dudley Buck. Dr. Burdick announced the unanimous decision of the judges in favor of Kansas, and cheering was loud and prolong. The judges were H. M. Beardsley, Kansas City; Judge Smith, Topeka; Supt. Piers, Haskell.
