Mr.. Miller said he was accustomed
to worl<ingmen and he trusted them
more than he did a great many other

Democratic Candidate Believes
Plan Would Do Little Good .
However
CONSENTS ON CONDITION
THAT OPPONENTS TALK

Although State Senator Charles r.
Miller, the Regular Republican Party
nominee for Governor. has declined
to debate the State issues with other
candidates for Governor, PROPOSE
ton made by Horace G. Eastburn,
county chairman of the Allee-Layton
Progressives, George b. Hynson. can
didate for Governor on the Ailee-Lay-
ton ticket, and Thomas M. Monaghan,
Democratic candidate for the Office,
favor the meeting of the candidates.
Mr. Monaghan's letter of acceptance
follows:
Chairman New Castle County Com
mittee of the Progressive Party.
Dear Sir: In reply to yours of the
18th, inviting me to participate in a
debate on the subject of who Shall
BE the Next Governor Of Delaware" p"
with George b. Hynson, and Charles
r. Miller, two OF the five candidates
for Governor, / would state that while
| do not see that any great public
good could be accomplished by such
debate, | am perfectly satisfied TO
participate therein provided all three
candidates who have been invited,
participate.
| have already made arrangements
to speak in Delmar on Friday even
ing, October %, but if the other two
gentlemen are agreeable to the
proposition of holding the debate on
that evening, / am willing
As / have the privilege of selecting
my period in the debate | would pre-
fer to speak last
! do not see the necessity Of con-
tinuing the debate TO any such length
OF time as three hours. when the mat
ter could be disposed of just as thor
oughly ] should say in one hour.
! feel, not egotistically, that the
nominee of the Democratic party,
pledged to the reforms set forth in
the platform of that party is better
qualified to serve the interests Of the
people of Delaware than are the
other candidates, pledged to the plat
form of their respective parties, and
| am therefore agreeable to a debate
to be arranged somewhat on the lines
suggested, for the week of October 2S
! have engagements in Sussex county
previously made. which will occupy
my whole time during the present
week and could not, therefore, con-
veniently be in Wilmington on Fri
day evening of this week
Relative to the proposition of hold
ing a meeting with admission to be
only BY ticket, would prefer that
the meeting be open so that every
interested person regardless of past
POLITICAL references. would have an
equal opportunity to hear the discus
sions.
As you desire the name OF a person
with whom you may confer in order
to complete the details of the debate
(provided both Mr.. Hynson and Mr..
Miller are agreeable to the PROPOSE
tion of meeting in debate), I name as
my representative Thomas F. Bayard,
chairman of the Democratic State
Central Committee.
AS you took the liberty of present-
ing a copy of the letter which was
sent to me, 10 each of the newspapers,
have likewise taken the liberty of
forwarding copy of this. my reply,
to the newspapers.
Yours very truly
