Nye and Larrabee May Get Together
on Congressional Campaign. =

An attempt has been made to inject
some oratorical fireworks into the pres
ent congressional campaign by means
Of a public debate between Frank M.
Nye, republican, and Frank D. Lara
bee, democratic candidate. The Lar
rabee forces submitted a challenge
some days ago asking meeting and Of
fering to pay their share Of the expense.
The Nye forces are ready for the fray,
but the demand for Mr.. Nye as a
speaker. by, both the county, and state
committee has left him entirely with
out open dates between now and, the
close Of the campaign. His dates are
all set, and it will probably be impos-
sible to arrange the meet unless some
meeting is called off.
