Batesville, Ark, March IA, 1916.
To the Voters of the Second Con-
Gressional District of Arkansas:
On March 9Th | read Mr. Oldfeld'S S
article in the Newport Independent
of March 3rd, denying that he had
eambled in cotton futures, and
denying other charges made against
him in this campaign.
Knowing that the charges against
Mr.. Oldfeld were true, and that his
denialS were false, | felt it my duty
to give the facts about the matter
to the people concerned, viz: his
constituents.
And | desired to do this in Mr.
0ldfeld'S presence.
Therefore, on March 9th, at which
time we were both in Washington, |
sent to Mr.. 0ldfeld a written chal-
lenge, which he received, to meet
me at Batesville or Mammoth
Spring, the former his home, the
latter mine, and stated therein that
| would prove the truth of the
charges which he had denied.
On March the 10th | left Wash
ineton, prepared to meet Mr.. Old
field at either of the places named.
Mr.. Oldfeld left Washington on
the same train, but when we reach
ed St. Louis, where we had to
change trains, he did not board the
train | did, but came on the next
one, arriving in Newport about one
hour and half after | did
On Sunday morning, March 18th,
| arrived in Batesville and remained
until ] was informed that Mr.. Old
field had declined to meet me.
Mr.. 0ldfeld remained in Newport,
and did not come to Batesville at
all, knowing that | had gone to
BateSville
am seeking no favors at the
hands Of the public; | simply asked
of Mr., 0ldfeld the opportunity of
presenting the proof Of the truth of
the charges against him, in his pres
