 Birmingham. Ala Sept. 23, 1904. Hon. Richmond P, Hobson. Greens
 boro, Ala;
 Dear Sir-As one of the Republican electors of the State of Alabama I de- sire very much to meet you in a free and fair joint discussion on the teal issues in this campaign.
 q think it is no more than right that after having made. as you did in the city of Birmingham. on Thursday night. September 22. an unfair attacK k on President Roosevelt and his admin istration and inasmuch as you took up an issue that is not really connected with the campaign as a representative of one of the great parties of this country. that you meet a representa- tive of the Republican party and dis cuss fully the issues in order that the people may be able to hear both sides and judge for themselves. Political ethics demand this much at least. I would prefer. Ii you can grant me q joint discussion. that the same should take place in the city of Birmingham. I will meet any date that you or your party friends will be willing to fix An early reply will be appreciated.
 Respectfully.

Your docket, your honor, will answer that question. If 1t reveals the name of the proprietor of any other house except mine, don't know it, and I don't believe that t does. I am prepared to take an oath that during the time I have been per- secuted there were at least ten or n dozen houses doing business within three and half blocks of my place on Twentieth Street and Second Avenue. Yet, they were allowed to go unmo- tested.
