DovENEx AFRAID TO MEET ARNErT.

DOVENEx AFRAID TO MEET ARNETT.
Last Monday Chairman Frank Cox, Of
The Democratic Congressional Commit
tee, wrote a polite letter to the Chairman
Of the Republican Congressional Com
mittee. Mr.. Charles il. Elliott. that the
iaI ord honest AMI convincing me,hod
e presenting the co'a4 = ,ines':rn 10 The
p..lie Of the FRS. d;sJric. would be to
have the representatives. of the opposing
sides to the controversy, Mr.. Dovener
and Mr.. Arnett, discuss the question in
Joint debate before the people.
Over this proposition the Republican
( CONGRESSIONAL Committee though, four
days. from Monday till Friday, and ihen
referred it to the State Committee. Fin
ally these joint committees composed an
excuse. or a series of excuses why Capt.
! Dovener could moi or would not meet
Col. Arnelt in joint debate. They plead
that MIR. Dovener's itinerary has already
been arranged. But so has Col. Arnetts.
But Col. Arnett and the committee in
| charge Of mis- campaign are willing to
make any change in their programme in
order to accommodate Capj. Dovener and
bring about a joint debate between Capt.
Dovener, who represents the single gold
standard in this campaign, and Col. Ar
nett. who represents bime,allism.
We would like our readers to carefully
| read the excuses offered by the RepubH-
can chairman why Capt. Dovener cannot
or VIII not meet Col. Arnett. They are
amusing. Our Republican friends say
they Go like TO excite party prejudice
and prefer to cultivate peace and good
WI They. also, prefer to cultivate ,he
dark, for they fear to bring their candi-
date under the fierce white light Of a
joint debate before the people CT the First
District. We all remember the time
when these same Republicans thought
they had candidate who was a speaker
and who could carry a crowd with him.
The issue was different then, it is true
But at thar time they were very anxious
for a joint debate.
Why are they not now? Capt. Doven-
er has had more experience in stump
speaking than Col Arnett. He is an
adept in all the tricks Of the trade"
Why is he afraid to meec Col. Arnett?
The Captain won't say, but we will.
Capt. Dovener knows that ne cannot
answer a free coinage argument and he
knows further that Col. Arneet would
with the greatest of ease tear to pieces
every argument and appeal tia. Captain
| Doveuer could advance on the single gold
standard side Of the question.
This is the reason thai Capt. Doverer
/ is afraid to meet Col Arnett in Joint de-
bate. He fears being demolished before
the voting begins.
