Show ANOTHER UTAH BOY WINS I DISTINCTION. I The members of the least lcgisla- j turc will recall .the fact that one of H the minority members Hon. F. B. 1 Hammond of Grand County won no fl go'.d medal or other distinction in W oratorical contests. However, word V has just come to us from Iowa of a 1 distinction that lias come to a son, F. B. Hammond, Jr., a student in the Iowa Agricultural College. Mr. f) Hammond was one of the team from that Institution winning each scries j in a State triangular debate. In j speaking of the debate, an Iowa pap- II cr says: fj E; B. Hammond, Jr., closed the Ij main debate for the affirmative by (j f, pointing out the reasons why con- ml gross should establish a Ccntarl w Bank. There was something of ma- K turity in Hammond's speech which Ij made it very effective. He got out g of the idea of winning debates and into the idea of presenting this plan I of the Central Bank so that everyone I should sec it as the best and the logi- f cal solution for our financial prpb- 1 lems. His "A business divided against 1 against itself cannot staf' and "The I Central Bank. is totfer 'brfhkbf , bauks;,rficd thems Ives in every- pne s mind. f Ikmmond closed the debate. Two statements from judges of the su- I prcmc court threw the idea that the I affirmative had to outline a system into the forensic scraph"ap. (Tfien j followed what was perhaps the clear- est and most powerful summary of M the team's arguments ever given from A that platform.) "This is to be a bank of banks. Arc we radical when we 1 l" ' T i agrcc with the great weight of au- I thority that 'Congress should cstab- j lish a Ccntial Bank."' I And the judges, Dean Gregory oft Iowa City, Scth Thomas of Marshallr lown, and Dr. Butcher of India unanimously una-nimously agreed that the affirmative were best able to defend their stand. |
