to be absolutely without peer IN this
state. The bold front was merely Tor
bluff. There was no belief pehlnd the
articles.
Conclusive proof that the Republic
cans fear to have their candidates
meet the Democratic candidates in
j3int debate before the people was
gwen yesterday when the executive
Ncommittee of the Republican state COM
lmittee finally marked out an itinerary
for Beber M. Wells. c. E. Allen and
Frank J. Cannon. In order that there
might not be The smallest possible
che nee of having a debate the itinerary
is arranged to run from the 10th inst.
to the night Of November 4.
Republicans Are Afraid.
In a Two months campaign it is
certainly unusual to have complete
itinerary mapped out at the beginning.
1t is generally considered advisable to
hold some leeway in order that the
committee having the campaign in
charge may meet anything that arises.
But the Republicans We're in sore
straits. They have been fearing the
results of debates and have rushed
forward with this work in order to
have an excuse if the challenge comes
and be able to say that they cannot
now break in on their itinerary. OF
racourse everybody will know that TINS
! As merely a Subterfuge. The Trlbune
suggested the idea of debates. 1t has
been talked on the street Tor weeks.
i has been expected that there would
be chance for the public to view the
various candidates and see which could
make the best appearance.
The Lucid Explanation.
Chairman George NJ. Cannon was
asked Yesterday WHY he had not left
any room for joint debates. He would
not answer directly that it was or was
not the policy of the committee to
have such joint debates. but merely
replied, well your men can have de-
bates. They can follow our men over
this course. You know Republicans
lead. and Democrats follow. That
was all he would say on the question
OF joint debates.
After the Democrats led the way and
set date for the formal opening of
their campaign the Republican party
caught an idea and determined to have
an opening day. They will open just
enc week before the Democrats. The
= formal date is Monday, September 16,
and the place is Woodruff. Rich county,
up in the northeastern corner Of the
territory.
Woodruff is the county seat of Rich
county. It has about 1000 inhabitants.
It Will be impossible to gather there
such an audience as should really be
drawn together at the beginning of
such an important campaign. 1t would
certainly be expected that the Republi-
cans would choose some of the larger
cities tC make their opening.
Theatrical Trick.
But right here comes in one Of those
theatrical tricks at which Heber NJ.
Wells is so proficient. He has no doubt
learned that it has lately become
habit with theatrical managers to try
their new plays on the audiences of
smaller cities before taking them be-
fore the critical eyes of New York
audience. The idea is to enable the
flanager to rub off the crude points to
brush up the dull places, to strengthen
Z the weak spots and get his company IN
Sgood trim.
v lie has made practical application
Of the idea. knowing he is Likely to
hlunder at any moment he wishes to
Try his maiden speeches on The people
of the small country towns, believing
they will not pe able to detect his
caudities. Then when he has rehea ~sed
; his new part in the play of politics he
N will make his appearance before a
= metropolitan audience The itinerary
is well adapted for this purpose.
