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
L. 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 a 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
most active campaignerS for Mr.. Rob
ins in the Senatorial campaign in Hi
nois two years ago.
Mrs. Funk now is a 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:
In 1912, endorsing the Progressive
party with my whole heart, l left be-
hind me Il tradition of middle western
and New England Republicanism
and when the end came in the Audi
torium last June, l followed Theodore
Roosevelt TO the door of the Republi-

can party of 1916 was in sOmewiSe

He speaks with keep appreciation of
the charm of Washington as resident

There is a common notion that caviare
