Joint DEBATES ARE
a SkLED FOR BY HOLT
With Various Other Congress
sionaI Nominees in This

DR.. M. s. Holt. of Weston, Social
ist nominee for Congress in this dis
'trict, has issued the following:
To the congressional candidates in
the First district of West Virginia.
Gentlemen
1t is not enough at this day to say !
am Democrat, Republican, Progress
sive or Socialist. The people are
aroused as never before and they de-
mand specific and clean cut state
ments upon the important issues in
volved in this campaign.
1t is due the voters that they have
an opportunity to hear the different
candidates with as little loss of time
as possible and in view Of this fact
there Is no tenable reason why the
nominees of all the parties should not
agree to meet for joint debate upon
the same platform SO that the people
may intelligently decide how to cast
their ballots for the relief of the
growing burdens that are being more
strongly fastened upon the masses by
the classes of special privilege.
The pallid lips of unpaid labor de-
mand reason. and the w1thered
hand of poverty should no longer be
|outstretched in vain in this bounte-
Gus country.
Undeserved enconiums from the
paid puppets of partisan press, up
on incompetents seeking Office are
rapidly losing weight with readers
who demand substantial remedies In
stead of nauseating nostrums. Evolu-
ton is always preferable to revolu-
ton and a careful thoughtful consid-
Grafton of political economic ques-
tions will tend to promote peace.
prosperity and happiness to all man
kind.
If qualified and worthy of a nomi-
nation why should any candidate Tor
congressional honors refuse to follow
the example of the immortal Lincoln,
who believing in the justice of his
cause, met In joint debate his con-
gressional opponent, Douglas who
was conceded to be one of the great
est orators of his day.
For the reasons set forth and
many others challenge each OF my
opponents to joint debate and will
ask that they agree to meet me upon
the same platform in at least one ad-
vertised meeting in each county OF
the district.
To insure the widest possible circu-
lation of my proposition for joint
meeting 1 will send to each newspa-
per in the district copy Of this letter
I respectfully request Its publication.
/ hope to hear of the acceptance
of this proposition from one or all
the nominees.
