Says He'll Let Farmers Quarrel
With Governor.
Chairman Gafford's EnorI
Meet With . Failure.
ssI've Paid Little Attention to
His ClamOr"-Capper.

Arthur Capper has virtually made
certain that there will be no Capper-
Hodges debates when he announced in
an interview today that he was not a
campaign speaker or a debater and
didn't care TO discuss political issues
during the heated months. His state
ment is regarded as q direct refusal to
accept the challenge mailed to him
last week by Governor Hodges who
asked the Topeka publisher to meet
him on the stump and explain his al
legged Misrepresentation of the state
administration and the legislature.
Through the efforts of the Republic
can state committee, q reading contest
between the two gubernatorial candi-
dates was suggested. Chairman Gaf-
ford suggested that the discussion OF
state affairs be limited to a review of
appropriations and expenses and that
this discussion be confined to the read
ing Of sworn statements of expert &C
countants. Governor Hodges replied
that the Kansas voters wanted all OF
the facts about the state administra-
ton and it's management Of the vari-
Gus departments. He offered 800
for the privilege Of meeting Mr.. Cap
per in such a discussion. After Quib-
bling and bartering with Chairman
Gafford for two weeks. the governor
sent a personal challenge to Mr.. Cap
per.
Capper's Statement.
III The Capper reply was made today
in the form of a prepared interview.
In part he said:
PERSONALLY, have paid little atten-
ton to the governors clamor for a
Joint debate. 1 have neither the leath-
er lungs, the adroitness of tongue, nor
the impudent assurance OF the wind
tanning spellbinder. Within the last
two years the people of Kansas have
learned, if they did not know 1t before,
that 1 am unskilled as a stump speak,
er, which probably accounts in part
for the governors clamorous ardOr for
a debate. NJ. -eover, have not as yet
been nominated for governor; / GER
tainly shall not begin my campaign In
advance OF the primaries-or for that
