ROBINS DECLINES TO MEET
MRS. FUNK IN DEBATE
Brilliant Woman Progressive Support
ing Wilson Had Challenged Hughes
Convert to Match Reasons.

Raymond Robins, who was chair
man Of the recent Progressive Ma
tiOnal Convention in Chicago, has de-
clined the challenge of Mrs. Antoin-
cite Funk to meet her in public debate
on the reasons why Progressive voters
should be asked to vote for Charles
e. Hughes when President Wilson
is in the field. In his refusal Mr.
Robins indicated that he would de-
cline all offers to match logic with
opponents on the question of Pro-
gressive activity in this presidential
campaign.
Mrs. Funk is lawyer in Chicago
and was one of the prominent leaders
of the Progressive movement so long
as Colonel Roosevelt remained at the
head Of it. She and Mr.. Robins
fought side by side for Progressive
principles and she was one of the
most active campaigners for Mr.. Rob-
ms in the Senatorial campaign in Illi-
nois two years ago.
Mrs. Funk now is member of the
Associate Committee of Progressives
cooperating with the Democratic Ma
tional Campaign Committee. She puts
her challenge to Mr.. Robins on the
high ground of public service, asking
that her former associate submit the
case Of Wilson VS.. Hughes to popu-
lar juries.
In her letter to Mr.. Robins, Mrs.
Funk said:
I'm 1912, endorsing the Progressive
party with my whole heart, l left be-
hind me tradition of middle western
and New England Republicanism
and when the end came in the Audi
forum last June, followed Theodore

forced in honesty to myself to admit
that Woodrow Wilson, greater than,

large measure kept for the Progress
sives their contract affirmed by them
and entered into with the people.
II am inviting you now, Mr. Robins,
to join me in series of debates, the
question to be resolved and the ar
rangements to be made through our
respective committees, such debates
to be held during the campaign, it be-
ing understood that the resolution Of!

for George w. Perkins, Herbert Par
sons, James B. Reynolds, Candidate
Hughes confidential secretary,
Chairman Willcox's private secretary
and other members Of the Republican
committee. A pow-wow followed.
A couple Of days later, an expurgat-
ed, denatured and devitalized edition
was thrown on the screen for MEM
bers Of the Republican National Com
mittee. They found the historic
facts" sadly less interesting than the
advance notices promised. They did
not even gaze on the picture of a
pseudo President Wilson asleep at
his desk, while the toning down of
the scene Of the attack on the Catholic
nuns had robbed it of any value as
thriller.
So the committeeman agreed that,
for Republicans, "Watchful Waiting"
was not success, that it's defects
could not be overcome; and that,
the proper place for it was the shelf.
So the "scene closes" with Chairman
Wilcox writing letter to Hal Reid
saying the film could not be used, but
commencing Reid for his zeal - the

l am not with the Woman's Party.
My opposition to its propaganda is
based on the fact that l am working,
twelve months in the year, to get the
ballot for all American women. My
experience of practical politics. has
taught me, among other things, that
the Congressional Union is being used,
at the present time, as tool by the
forces in this country which have
fought, and will continue to fight,
equal suffrage.
am for Wilson because, through
out his Administration, he has con-
tnuousIy made his appeal from the
jingling Of dollars to the rights Of man.
am for Wilson because he moved
the Capitol Of the country from Wall
Street back to Washington, and be-
cause he has withstood the forces,
now back Of Hughes, who have sought
to remove It to Berlin.
am for Wilson because he has in
deed shown himself "more interested
lin the fortune of oppressed men and
pitiful women and children"-whether
in Mexico or in America-than in
his own personal fortune. Thank God
he is not "a hundred per cent candi-
date" but a hundred per cent MAN!
am for Wilson because, whatever
his fortune at the coming election, his
achievements have given him a SUI
preme place in the list of American
