4 This whole thing reminds me OF a
story / used to be ford OF telling OF
very effective debatsr-I need not
say where this happened-who sent
challenge down into county very hos
tile to him to debate. The people
down there did not like the job very
well, but they put up the man they
liked best and who was generally put
upon such occasions, great big hus-
Ky fellow, whom they all called Tom.
The challenger was given the first
hour Of the two hours allotted TO the
debate and he hadn't got more than
half way through his speech when 1t
became evid ant that he was conTinc-
ing the audience Then one of Toms
partisans In the back OF the room
cried out: Tom, Tom, call him liar
and make 1t fight
