approved by 1.-The people of the
United States III this election So
you cannot escape responsibility
for denying the people their wish
es in this matter on the ground
that such a debate would be of
no consequence i'll this national
campaign The result in this dis
trict may be the deciding factor in
determining the result in the ma
tion-the control of the house of
representatives in the sixty first
congress, where the bill for revising
the tariff must originate under
our constitution. This may be
the pivotal district, so it is impor
tant that the right decision be
reached. To mat end nothing
could contribute so much as the
thorough threshing out of the is
sues by the two candidates face to
face in the presence of the people,
who are to constitute the jury i'll
this case.
In your recent speech at Kies
ter you spoke very feehngly of
"the neighbors" and the propriety
of paving respect to their wish
es. Here is an opportunity for you
to show how sincere you were i'll
your pretestations of neighborly
good Will "The neighbors" wish
you to join in the series of de-
bates proposed by me. Will you
comply. like Daniel Webster, with
the wishes of "the neighbors" or j,
will you turn them down and carry
out your own personal plans re-

be able to do that, and if you I:
prefer joint meetings, | am will :
ing to hold, say not to exceed
five in various places in the dis
trict"
Since writing the above to you
have had no occasion to change my
view of the matter In order
to make my proposal more def
mite | will say that if you de-
sire to hold joint meetings with
me at four places i'm the district,
two of your selection and two
of mine, the time in each case
to be squally divided between us,
you to have the closing in two
meetings and | to have it in the
other two, EACH. to speak as he
pleases and to tender any issue
OF questions he pleases, 1 shall
be glad to enter into arrangements
for holding the same with you. If
this proposition is not satisfac-
tory to you we cannot arrange
for any Joint debates. Very truly
yours, w. S. Hammond.
Mr.. Mccleary's Reply.
Today Mr.. McCleary forwarded to
Hammond the follow.
ing:
Mankato, Mimi, Sept. 81, 1908
I
letter of the 10Th, in answer to
mine of the 18th, is received and
has been read with care. To be
frank with you, it is neither as
candid nor as courageous as the
people have right to expect from
one in your position. They will
be badly disappointed in you if
you adhere to the stand taken in
your letter.
In my letter of the 18th, l in
vited you to meet the just de-
sires of the people by holding
with me series of joint debates
Z. covering the entire district, in
which we should discuss face to-.
face the issues involved in our con-
test for-~election. In your an
swer of the 10th you evasively
decline to hold with me any joint
debates whatsoever. But you try
to save your face by offering to
hold with me a very limited num-
Der, four or five, of "ioint meet
ings" leach to speak as
he pleases and to tender any issue
or questions he pleases." If we
cannot come to an agreement more :
satisfactory to the people. shall
accept your alternative offer,
though it falls far short of what
the people desire and have right
= to expect.
But am firm believer in
the sober second thought" SO I
shall not at this time accept as
final your answer of the 10Th,
which is wholly unworthy of you
and your position as the candidate
of great political party for a
seat in Our national legislature.
This is a government. of and
by the people. The people act by
