A DEBATE WANTED.

L. Bedford, chairman OF the
Democratic County Executive
committee, received a registered
letter in the mail from P. II. An
derson, chairman of the Republi-
can County Executive committee,
in which letter Mr.. Anderson
challenges Mr.. Belford's party to
hold a joint debate on the tax
question at two points in this
county, but the speakers must be
local and home talent, which de-
mand is simply a very cheap way
to avoid a discussion. In the
first place, Tyler county Demo-
Gratis do not have orators, and the
Republican have none either, but
they have some men who imagine
they can speak and discuss politi-
cal questions. Such a debate
would do no good, and would only
result in personal harangue. If
Mr.. Anderson's party is honest in
its request for joint debate, why
not have the debaters from the
best posted men in both parties.
Hon. John Y. McGraw and Hon.
John A. Hubbard are going to
speak in this county and we und-
erstand w. P. Hubbard, who
wrote the new tax laws, is also to
speak here. Why not let these
conference.-the can speak, who
are thoroughly posted on the tax
question, hold joint discussion
on the tax question. If Mr.. And
erson will allow the county COM
mittee to bring men here like Me-
Graw and Howard he can have a
Joint discussion, but the Demo-
Gratis have no time nor incllna-
ton to have regular "chewing
match" with so-called Republican
orators. We would not be afraid,
if were were in the betting bust
ness, to wager a good round sum
of money that Mr.. Anderson can
not produce a single Republican
orator who lives in this county
who has even read the tax laws.
Take the speeches of the local
Republican orators, and what are
they? Nothing but personal ha-
rangues, hardly syllable of truth
in them and consist generally In
abusing the Oil Review. To dis
cuss any question with such men
would result in a personal abuse
talk for two hours or more.
Let the leaders arrange the
meetings and have a joint discus
sion between McGraw, Howard,
Hubbard and, say Dawson or some
other leading Republican.
But that is not what Patrick
wants. He is after some very
cheap political capital. He does
not want any discussion at all
which would be a discussion.
We do not know what Mr.. Bel
ford will do, and we are not speak
ING for him. but no good can
come from a local debate.
