DECLINES AN OFFER
FOR joint DEBATE

4 II NJ o Nd, VA, Special
Al the Headquarters of the Virginia
Democratic League, Mr.. G. b. Gar
nett general manager, when asked
about noon today If Mr.. Montague
would meet Speaker r. L. Byrd in
Joint debate at Orange this afternoon,
gave out the following statement:
advised Mr.. Montague not to
meet Mr.. Byrd in joint discussion I'M
less given positive assurance that Mr..
Martin and Mr.. Swanson would agree
to debate the issues with Mr.. Jones
and Mr.. Glass. 1t seems to me that
such conditional acceptance of Mr..
Byrds challenge is not only eminent
ly fair, but it is demanded as Justice
TO our side as we'll as to the people
OF this State. Mr.. Byrd and Mr.. Mon
tague are not opposing candidates in
this contest. Mr.. Jones is running
against Mr.. Martin and Mr. Glass
against Mr.. Swanson. Both Mr.. Jones
and Mr.. Glass r I'VE frequently de-
clared their desire to contest the is
sues of the campaign with their COM
petltors race to face upon the hust-
ings. This challenge having been ig-
nored, l do not see why substitutes
should be brought into joint discus
sion. Emphatically true is this in
MIR. Byrd's case. Mr.. Byrd wishes to
meet Mr.. Montague after months have
elapsed since our side clearly and pub
licly declared its position, while as
yet nobody understands except Mr..
BYRD and few of the friends Of Mr.
Martin and Mr.. Swanson what will
be the position of these two candi-
dates. Manifestly then, Mr.. Byrd will
enjoy an advantage that would not
accrue TO Mr.. Montague.
MY advice was based not only on
the above reasons, but also because
we still decline to have the attention
OF the people diverted from the prin-
cipal personages and issues of the
campaign. dodge which has been so
| persistently tried heretofore"
ORANGE. VA, Special.-Ex-Gov-
ernor Montague came here to
make an address in behalf of Messrs
Glass and Jones. Soon after his ar
rival Richard Z. Byrd, of Winches-
ter and Richmond, arrived and made a
proposition for a joint debate. Mr.
Montague announced that he would
accept the challenge for a debate II
Mr.. Byrd would give him the same
terms Senator Martin imposed on him
(Montague) in the King George de-
\ bate in 1905, and if Byrd would as
sure the public that Senators Martin
ana Swanson. in whose behalf Byrd
appeared, would accept the gauntlet
long ago thrown down by Jones and
| Glass.
This Mr.. Byrd refused to do. and
there was no joint debate Mr.. Mon
tague then addressed a large and en-
thusiastic crowd.
The King George terms were such
that Governor Montague was at a
great disadvantage, Senator Martin
! having all the advantage. In the en-
suing primary. however, King George
cast its vote for Montague.

CANADIAN ANNEXATION.

The possibility OF annexation OF
Canada TO the United States figured
largely in the hot electoral campaign
over reciprocity. In view OF the in
tense hostility TO that idea invariably
manifested by Canadian people. one
wonders that anyone can discuss /;
seriously.
On this side Of the line there are
good many people favorable to the
idea. though the majority would
doubtless vote no.
As test OF Canadian sentiment, a
writer for the Worlds work in 1905
addressed 300 letters to the most
prominent men in the dominion.
These letters asked the question
whether. IL such an annexation could
be brought about peaceably. without
friction With England. Canada being
simply merged and becoming one sec
ton OF our country. Just as the east.
south or the Pacific slope ia one sec
ton whether the person addressed
would favor IT..
out OF these 200 people. only one
man wrote favoring annexation. and
he failed TO sign his name. Most OF
the rest wrote In opposition
The Canadians based their objec-
ton on such ideas as the following:
That their people are more regardful
of law than Americans. that We have
TOO many race problems. that wealth
IS more evenly divided with them:
that the trusts are less powerful. and
on their personal affection and sent
ment for the British flag
Curiously enough. some Of these
Canadians seemed more or less ser

United States might be annexed to

pie becamestrained 10 have respect
