Republican State Executive Committee, proposing one
or more joint debates between Judge j. B. Foraker
and the Rev. Dr. A. B. Leonard on "The Taxation
versus the Prohibition of the Liquor Traffic." which no
declared the question at issue between the Repub
lican and Prohibition parties. Mr.. Bushnell replied
as follows:

publican party has declared in favor Of two things,

discussion OF any OF the issues arising but only OF
an issue which you seek to make should ior tnat rea
son decline TO entertain your proposition.
But there Is another reason why cannot under any
circumstances entertain proposition for joint de-
bate between Judge Foraker and the Rev. Dr. Leonard
and that is this: The Rev. Dr. Leonard has declared
in public speech that " fhe first step toward prohibit
ton is TO kill the Republican party thereby announc-
ing that he s not so much the head and chief repre-
sentative of third party he Is the open and
avowed ally of the Democratic party. Consistently
with this idea he has taken OCCASION whenever oppor-
tunty has offered to 90 further than simply to present
the claims Of his own party and to denounen and de-
tame the Republican party. In other words the So
called Prohibition party of Ohio has openly leagued it
self with the Democratic party Of Ohio for the purpose
of helping to kill the Republican party" 10 have
discussion therefore, between Judge Foraker and the
Rev. DR. Leonard would be TO have the candidate OF

nominee of what is only attempted diversion Ill

will have the Democratic party promote the Rev. Dr.
Leonard the head OF its organization ana thls MAKE
him the acknowledged leader, as he is the ack-
nowledged ally, OF the Democratic party, Judge
Foraker WILL am sure. be glad to discuss with him
