lively two days’ campaign will be con-
ducted in nearby towns. Before the
speech making at. the university Mr.
Sherman and Mr. I-ongworth, were
entertained by the Y. M. C. A., of
Urbana, and from there they went
to the college campus, where the stu
dents thronged the grounds, eager to
hear and see the speakers. Mr. Long-
worth , who is something of a baseball
“fan” himself, was right at home In
likening Mr. Bryan to the celebrated
Casey, famous in song, and the stn-
denite cheered to the echo.
Bryan Likened to Casey.
The speaker declared that wUle
the doughty Casey had struck out
hut once, Mr. Bryan had already been
struck out twice'and now, as the re
sult of a third ball pitehed from the
White House, he thought it would be
three strikes and out. If the ap
plause that followed that assertion
by President Roosevelt’s son-in-law
was any criterion, his hearers unani
mously agreed with him.
