The Favorites have been nom-
inated. Opportunity has been giv-
en for voting. The eleventh hour
has passed. The election is over;
and we hope, though hoping in
vain, that everybody’s candidate
has been chosen. At any rate, we
hope that you are satisfied with
your efforts in placing before the
college a group of representatives
persons. The staff is elated with
the number of nominees put forth
and heartily appreciate the co-op-
erative spirit demonstrated in this
selection and ultimate election.
The good judgment exercised in
nominating is evidenced by the
closeness of votes among the can-
didates The counting committee
reports that it is remarkable For
the first time during the election
of Favorites has there been a clos-
er contest;— that there has not
been someone who far outstripped
all others arul who everyone felt
quite sure of. “Even now, before a
final check has been made, it is im-
possible to judge the outcome,”
said a member of the committee.
With this in view, no one can feel
that he lacked so very much being
"The Favorite.”
The election is over, but not so
for Yucca subscriptions. The man-
agement felt that it would he an
injustice to you to close the sub-
scriptions for any cause other than
necessity, realizing that the more
you see of college life, the more
you help to make it go. the great-
er would be your desire for that
memento, the college annual. Of
course you shall want to see your
classmates and their records, your
organization, the athletic repre-
sentation. the college life portray-
ed. the facts and follies depicted!
Of course, you shall want to know
who are elected Favorites. Your
only wav to get it right is to buy
a Yucca.
That kodak you made Sunday
afternoon is entirely acceptable.
Give it to an editor. SAY IT WITH
KODAKS.
After twenty minutes’ delib* ra-
tion, the jury in the case of the
Reagan Literary So. ety against J.
F. Delaney returned a verdict of
not guilty. The cas- was tried in
the Girls' Reading Room on Fri-
day night. February 20, at the reg-
ular session of the Reagan Criminal
Court. The court room was crowd-
ed, standing room being at a re-
mium. Order was maintained only
by the sternest measures.
J. F. Delaney, a student of the
North Texas State Normal College,
was indicted by the Program com-
mittee of the Reagan Literary So-
ciety on a charge of social climb-
ing He was duly at rested on Feb-
ruary 19 and summoned to appear
before Judge Adkins of the Reagan
Criminal Court to answer to the
charge. His bond was fixed at
»5,000.
For several days before the trial
everything was humming in Rea-
gan circles, as the attorneys on the
case were securing and sifting out
their witnesses. Sheriff Calvin
Jones was kept busy summoning
men and women and serving sub-
poenas.
After the opening at 7 p. m.,
considerable time was spent in se-
lecting the jury. The prosecuting
attorneys, Judge O. R. Tipps and
the Hon. !. L. Boren began the
testimony for the sem iet.v by plac-
ing a young lady of *he Normal on
the stand. Her testimony was
straightforward ard convincing,
and the cross examination failed
to weaken her testimony. Then
followed another young lady and
the results were practically the
same and so on down a long line
of witnesses. Finally the Society
rested its case and Judge Calhoun
and Senator Franklin opened the
testimony for the defense by put-
ting Judge Tipps on the stand. He
was followed by the defendant, J.
F. Delaney, who seemed to doubt
the veracity of one Mr. C. D. Sim-
mons, who had been a witness for
the Society. The defense also had
a young lady witness as well as
several others.
While taking the testimony of
these witnesses many objections
were raised by the opposing attor-
neys and Judge Adkins sustained
some and overruled others with
equal dignity. Arguments between
the attorneys were frequent, and
one time the jury had to be taken
out while a dispute was settled.
At last the testimony was ended
and Judge Adkins gave his charge
to the jury. Then the attorneys
began their speeches, and the bur-
den of every speech was a plea
for justice and the law.
The jury found J. F. Delaney not
guilty, but as in every case that
is tried in the courts, the specta-
tors were divided in their opinions.
