WASHINGTON, Oct. Slogan Carlisle
son of Secretary Carlisle, and chic

issued declaration that is a burning
insult to Senator Joe Blackburn. 4
few weeks ago Logan Carlisle's mes
senger, negro, resigned his position
claiming that as democrat ht

refuses to support Bryan. Three days
ago the negro messenger issued
challenge to Logan Carlisle to meet
him in jeint debate. Logan Carlisle
responds, says he feels highly honorec
by the challenge, because his hackers
in putting this negro forward have
done him greater honor than the silver
democrats have done in offering to pit
Senator Blackburn against Secretary
Carlisle. In thus putting the negro
forward as superior to Senator Black
burn, Logan Carlisle invites Ken

existing between the Blackburn and
Carlisle families No insult could be
offered Joe Black burn which could be
more incisive. Everybody is, asking
