"BE AN AMERICAN SAYS CHAMP CLARK
Democratic Leader Addressed Crowd of 3,000 in Robinson Gym.
HE DIDN'T TALK POLITICS
Speaker Advised Students to Read Bible and Declaration of Independence.

The littlest president we ever had was more powerful than all the Caesars.
The lugubrious howl of the pessimist gets a hearing when the optimist is ignored.
The Presidency is the greatest office ever devised by the will of man. That' why I wanted it.
We have five candidates this fall. Wilson for the Democrats, Taft for the Republicans, Debs for the Socialists, Chafin for the Prohibitionists, and Roosevelt for himself.
You are all orators now.
You will learn to speak after you leave school.
It is a great, thing to be a Missouri, it is a great thing to be a Kansan, but the greatest thing in the world is to be a plain American citizen.
Champ Clark, speaker of the national House of Representatives, addressed an audience of 3,000 students and citizens of Lawrence in Robinson gymnasium this morning. He was given an enthusiastic reception and his speech was interrupted frequently because he is at present making a campaign tour of the West and the speech here was made by special arrangement.
"Advice is the cheapest commodity in the world and I do not intend to burden you with any of it," he said by way of introduction. "I will speak, however, upon the duty of every citizen to give part of his energy to the service of the state. His application will as well for they are now voting in some states and will be voting in all within a short time." Aplause by the advocates of woman's suffrage followed this statement.
World Getting Better.
"The world is getting better," the Speaker continued, "and innumerable examples of this fact can be cited. We do not now have duelling, prize matches, or brawls, but that we once had nor will our people countenance the acts they once did."
"I will say something that no other man in public office would dare to say," he declared, "and that is that all five of the men running for president are good men and good citizens. They are good husbands and good fathers and those are the two most important things for any man to be. I am glad to say that the campaign this year is the cleanest in history. There has not been the slightest suspicion of the personal attacks and harassment have against him or campaigns in the past. The present race concerns itself with business problems and questions of public policy."
Read The Bible.
"If there is any advice which I would give you it is to read the Bible and commit the Declaration of Independence and the Constitution of the United States to memory. There was a time when I did not read the Bible but I have found it to be the most useful book in the world. A

Speaker Clark reviewed the history of the establishment of the republic and pointed out that all other republics in the world owed their existence to this country. He mentioned politically only incidences that he would research his political remarks for his spee down town this afternoon.
ELECTION RETURNS SHOW HOT CONTESTS
Undergraduates Exhibited Political Animosity in Annual Office Grabbing
BILLS AND POSTERS GALORE
Campus And Polling Places Were Literally Swamped With Sample Ballots and Proclamations
The early returns from the annual class elections today show close contests in the three upper classes. Probably the hardest fight was shown in the junior class. The two popular athletes Dan Hazen and William Tubby were voted into the office of prom manager in the class also was one of the contested offices.
Today's elections probably were the most hotly contested ever fought here. Bills, posters and cards were scattered from one end of the campus to the other this morning. Groups of students could be seen in every corner talking in subdued whispers. Secrecy filled the air. The floors about the polling pales were covered with paper and there was earnestness of purpose on the face of the electioneers.
At cornell the students are congratulating themselves because the price of athletic tickets has not been raised from $10. Here they seem to think $5 is highway robbery.
FIVE NEW MEMBERS ON ATHLETIC BOARD
At Election Yesterday 37
Votes Were Cast for
New Men
Five new members were elected yesterday to the Athletic Board of the University. Harold Brownlee, K.U's popular football captain, Ward Magill and Clem Fairchild were the athletic members elected and Charles Dolde and O. R. Rhine, were the non-athletic members elected.
Charles Dolde who had no opposition, came second with 355 and Brownlee received 340. The vote was as follows: Brownlee, 340, Magill, 251; Fairchild, 252; Dolde, 372; Rhine, 355.
DON'T FORCE VOTERS
SAYS DEAN BLACKMAR
Dean Frank W. Blackmar, of the State University Graduate School, does not agree with Attorney-Generals argument that a law making it compulsory to vote.
Henry Allen of Wichita, chief of the Bull Moosers in Kansas, will deliver an address next Monday after it at the court house, at four o'clock.
"I think the desired result would be better accomplished by a system of education in politics, economics, and sociology, which would make the present non-voters interested enough to vote," he said this morning.
HENRY ALLEN TO SPEAK
TO BULL MOOSERS
"If a man is not interested in government enough to come out and vote voluntarily I doubt whereher his compulsory vote would be of any value to those who desire good government."
William Allen White Regent of the University has organized a Bull Moose club of students which will meet at the Phi Delta Theta house at 3 o'clock Sunday afternoon. At this meeting plans for Monday will be discussed. All Roosevelt supporters are invited to both meetings.
DR. DUNCAN HONORED
Delivered Opening Address in Frank
Inn Institute Last Thursday.
Dr. Robert Kennedy Duncan, who announced three valuable fellowships for the University of Kansas yesterday was signally honored last Thursday in Philadelphia when he delivered the opening address in Franklin Institute to a crowded auditorium. To be chosen to give this opening address is a high tribute among the scientists.
Dr. Duncan also has been invited to deliver the initial address in Detroit next week at the first meeting of the Detroit branch of the American society, and probably will leave for Detroit within a day or two.
STUDENTS IN PRISON SAYS DR. JENKINS
College Life Not All Roses Declares Kansas City
Minister
"I don't envy you, I pity you. You are in prison now and hard at it," said Rev Burris A. Jenkins, pastor of Linwood Boulevard Christian church, Kansas City, Mo., this morning in chapel. "I would like to tell you that you are having the best time of your life in college, that you have room for your bed of roses and that your faces will remain smooth and your hair will never be gray, but I can not.
"Natural law is made for man, not against him. It is the same in civil law. Men today do not live in terror of the law but live by means of it. The same is true of the spiritual law in the natural world.
"He who thinks shall doubt. Vandyke tells us that this is an age of doubt. The symbol of the present civilization is a question mark. This doubt is a good thing. There is a great deal of faith in honest doubt. Men followed Christ to their death, yet the doubted him.
"The law of sorrow is universal as life itself. It the supreme emotion of art as it is of life. If you would know, know those who have sorrowed."
FRESHMAN WALKS FIFTY
BLOCKS FOR HIS MEALS
Hearing that boarding houses were scarce in Lawrence, a freshman bought a supply of meal tickets at the first restaurant that met his eye after getting off his train. It happened that he came in upon the Union Pacific. Now he is walking fifty blocks for his lunch.
The freshman told a reporter this morning that he expected to go out for track work next spring, so did not mind the walk across the river at all.
SAWDUST AND CLOWNS TO DRIVE AWAY CARES
President Jacob Gould Schuman of Cornell has been appointed minister to Greece by President Taft.
"K. U, Forever," is the title of the new football song which Frank W. Ryan, a sophomore in the Fine Arts school has written and published. Both the words and music are original and the song will be played for the first time by the band at the Warrensburg game tomorrow.
The music to the song is catchy and written in spirited march time. Mr. Ryan has written several other pieces that are very popular, including "Varsity Rag" are the best known.
W. S. G. A. Free Circus To morrow Night in Gym Will be a Monster
These are the words:
Dear old Kansas, Here's to you
And to our college friends so true,
We'll hold valuable trees
Neathy sunny skies of blue,
To thy stately halls and ivy trees
We'll give our college yell,
And ever tell praises
We will tell. Rah! Rah!

pendous Production
pendous Production
Barnum and Bailey will be quite out of the running after tomorrow night when the Woman's Student Government Association mammoth free circus comes off. With its three rings, big side show, and Wild West show, the circus will cover the entire region of North America. Wild West performance is a reproduction of the famous 101 Ranch show.
The sideshow includes such high grade attractions as the Siamese Twins, Maza the Mystic, the Strongest Woman in the world, the Fat Woman, the Tall Woman, the Living Skeleton and Sweet Sixteen.
In fact, each and every individual feature of this unparalleled, unrivalled, unapproachable aggregation of agile acrobats, daring deeds, famous freaks and marvellous monstrosities is worth double the price of admission.
PROF. HUNTER WINS SCIENTISTS' PRAISE
The performance begins promptly at eight o'clock under the direction of Misses Irma Goldman, Claribel Lupton, and Amarynthia Smith.
Scientists from all over the world gathered at the second triennial pellagra conference at Columbia, South Carolina, last week, paid a tribute to the state of Kansas when they declared that the investigations here were in advance to any carried on to find the cause of the disease. Because of the small number of cases in Kansas the conference believed that the local scientists would be able to more readily locate the cause of the trouble and to isolate the germ in the sample. The Hunter of the University of Kansas, who represented the state at the South Carolina meeting, now has eight cases under his observation, and is conducting experiments to prove or disprove the parasite idea. A second theory attributes pellagra to toxic poisoning, due to malnutrition.
And it's all free.
Experts at Pellagra Congress Declared Kansas Investigators Best
Chorus.
When our team comes marching, fighting
We'll sing our song for Kansas
For our dear old "Varsity,
Our blue and crimson colors
Stream on to victory,
And o'er and o'er the prairies,
We'll sing our song to you,
With a Rock Chalk, Jay Hawk, Kansas
Forever K. U.
Tearing down across the field With the Normals they will wipe the
For they will never yield.
For our boys will fight forever
For the crimson and the blue
They'll fight 'till the line goes
Plunging through. Rahi Rah!

Wood himself brought in Boston's last score when he singled in the ninth and sent home Gardner.
New York, Oct. 11—Joe Wood's magnificent work in the box is the secret of Boston's victory here today by a score of 3 to 1. The Red Sox twirler fanned eight men and was invincible in the pinches.
Gardner's triple at the opening of the second and his subsequent score on a wild pitch by Tesranea gave Boston the lead at the start. The third baseman won a storm of applause for his hit which was the long-run series with the exception of Speaker's near-home run on Wednesday.
Up to the third inning, each team made one hit an inning. Wood appeared to be in the lead as a pitcher, as he fanned three men to Tesreau's one.
Brilliant base-running by Manager Stahl, the fast first baseman, and a single by catcher Cady doubled Boston's record in the fourth. Tesureau opened the inning by walking Gardner. Stahl, the next man up forced Gardner at second with an easy grounder to Tesureau, who made the play three times for Gardner and Wagner's out to Merkle, took third. Cady met the ball fairly for a single and the manager scored, making the total Boston 2, New York 0.
Joe Wood's control was at its best in the fourth when after Doyle had tapped the ball to second for an助, he fanned Snodgrass and Murray in succession, using just eight balls to do the work. A hush fell over the New York stands at this exhibition of his power.
Tesreau crept up on Wood in the strike-out line in the seventh when Big Jeff fanned Wagner and Cady in succession and closed the inning with a pop by Wood to Murray. The strike-out record then stod six to five in favor of the Red Sox pitcher.
Right fielder Murray proved a hero in the fifth when he pulled down Hooper's long fly that looked good for three bases at least. Two hits by New York in the sixth were not enough to give the Giants a run. A fourth hit from Murray grounded on third, where he was left when Murray grounded out to Yerkes.
Yerkes, the clever second baseman of the Red Sox, deserves the credit for preventing New York from tiring the score in the seventh. A single by Herzog and a double by Fletcher resulted in one tally and left Fletcher on second. McCormick was put in to bat for Tresoure and knocked a fast grounder apparently out of Yerkes's reach. Yerkes leaped into the center field and threw to the plate in time to cut off Fletcher who attempted to score.
At the opening of the eighth. Ames was sent out in Tesreau's place.
As far as the make-up of the opposing teams was concerned, the third game of the world's series was exactly the same as the opening contest. Cady again resumed his position behind the bat for the Red Sox with Joe Wood, the Kansas twirler, in the box. Jeff Tesreau, who had declared that if started again, he believed he could win, took the mound for the Giants.
"Tessie," the battle song of the famous Boston-Pittsburgh series in 1903, was sung at the opening of the game by the Red Sox rooters. The Red Sox were cheered heartily when the team came on the field for practice. Massachusetts city were confident that the contest would come their way.
Little Josh Devore, the hero of Thursday's game in which he made a circus catch that cut off the Boston team from a sure victory, was the focus point for New York eyes and cheers.
