CAREY'S CHEAP
BUNCOMDE
Will Debate With Benny If
He Can Have Everything
His Own Way.
MANNING UNMASKS
Promises Horseshoe Audience
That He Will Support
President Roosevelt.

! Robert Carey, the Republican candi-
date for Congress in the Ninth district,
has accepted the challenge to debate the
issues of the campaign, which was sent
to him by his Democratic opponent, Al
Ian Benny. Mr.. Carey's acceptance takes
the shape of a long letter and he fixes
Saturday, November /, for the debate,
as that is the 'only open date on my
| schedule" The place is to be Columbia
Hall, Bayonne, and either Mayor Sey-
mour, Democrat, or ex-Mayor Farr Re
publican, whichever Mr.. Benny may se-
lect, is to be the chairman. As the chal-
lenged party, Mr. Carey claims the right
to name the weapons, so to speak, and
dictates long string of conditions upon
which he will enter the contest The is
sues must be defined so distinctly that
there will be no mistake as to the sub
! ject. Mr.. Benny must present his argu-
ments first and each speaker shall not
speak for more than an hour at time.
In order that Mr.. Benny may see that
MIR. Carey means business he closes his
letter with:-''So that nothing may arise
to hinder the debate, | have taken the
liberty of engaging the hall for the afore-
said date''
MR.. CAREY CRATES.
| The S. d. Dickinson Association met
/ last evening and listened to Congress
ional candidates Robert Carey and james
Manning and Corporation Counsel
FGeorge L. Record make political
l speeches.

President John Mitchell Fourteen new
members were elected to the club and
| thirty-fve propositions for membership
Were received.
Pictures Of President Roosevelt and
Mayor Pagan were ordered hung on the
F'vsi of the meeting room side BY 5fsit.
The nominations of Carey and Man
ming were endorsed.
BEGS FOR VOTES.
4 Mr.. Carey was introduced as the first
speaker of the evening. He proceeded
to beg votes for Manning in the Horse
shoe District and said he felt sorry he
was not running in that district himself.
He likened Manning's campaign to that
OF Mayor Fagan's, criticized Allan L.
Nc Dermott, and in his style of yituper-
alton, pitched into City Collector Davis.
l regret that I'm not running in the
Horseshoe District, like my friend Man
ming" he said. Mr.. Mannings cam
paign will be repetition of Mayor
Fagan's campaign"
| Colonel Dickinson, who sat only few
feet from Carey when he spoke, smiled
as he listened to what Carey had to say
of Manning.
Continuing in this wild style the
speaker said, there are very few Demo-
Gratis in the Horseshoe who will vote
for John Zeller for Sheriff, if he is
nominated"
! he returned again to Manning and
spoke of him as lawyer whom every
body admired and a friend of the COM
mon people, and said IF he goes to
Congress he will fight the trusts.
"MeDermott was afraid to run in his
own district. He is an inconsistent poll
tician. This was demonstrated in two
Bryan campaigns. He is a fakir. one
of the biggest in the town, and always
looking out for his own pocket" He
said some pretty things about the Repub-
| lican party and its effort to bring about
a settlement of the coal strike.
MANNING WILL BE A REPUBLI-
CAN
Mr.. Manning was introduced and be-
gan his remarks by thanking Mr.. Carey
for his fattery. He scored the open
primaries, and Mr.. George L. Record,
the originator of them, who sat near,
began tapping his fingers in a nervous
manner on his chair while his face be-
came crimson.
have made no PROMISES, said Mr..
Manning, nor have any limitations been
/ placed upon me-
In fowery language he gave as an ex-
cuse for accepting the nomination for
Congress on the Republican ticket, that
he could never get anything from his own
party. He said, if elected, he would up
hold President Roosevelt's attitude to-
ward the trusts
