THE MEETING OF THE GIANTS.

Senator George P. Mclean in for
 nally accepting the challenge to meet in joint debate Homer S. Cummings. the Democratic candidate for United States Senator, has done what his con- st1tuents and the admirers of his op- ponent would have him do. In his original letter MT. Cummings asked the Senator to meet him in four prin- cipal cities of the state and there in public forum to discuss the main is- sues Of the present campaign. Senator Cummings in answering this challenge mentions only one place, Stamford, the home town of MT. Cummings, where the Senator has a speaking engage ment on October 25. The Senator in tends to kill the proverbial two birds with the one stone.
 Public debate is a form of cam
 paigning that has rapidly disappeared from the political arena. In the olden
 days no campaign was considered
 worth while unless two mental giants
 of the opposition parties met and went
 over the issues for the delight and in-
 formation of their followers Such de-
 bates were always enlightening, enter
 taining and instructive, and usually
 were the cause of converting voters
 one way or the other. Every state
 had it's great debaters and they usually
 travelled up and down the length and
 breadth of their respective com
 munities propounding the doctrines of Democracy and Republicanism. In
 this way very large number of peo- pie were enabled to hear and learn things they might not otherwise know.
 Tn this day and generation with the printing press at it's present stage of | perfection and newspapers flooding
 the land, the reading public is given all the news and views that it can readily absorb, and so the debate has | fallen into the discard.
 But if Senator Mclean and MT. 1 Cummings meet or the public plat | form and each on that particular oc- | casion happens to be at his best then | there is likelihood that Connecticut will 1 be instrumental in bringing back a lost 1 art. These two men are truly repre- | sentative of their parties. There are | few equal to either of them in bril- l liancy of oratory or expressin. Each | Of them possesses the finesse, the per 1 sonality, the presence, the bearing, l the fund of anecdote and the wealth | of material that go to make a meeting I of this kind one of the utmost import 1 ance. If it is arranged that they meet
 in joint debate toward the latter part
 of this month the entire state will be l anxious to hear the arguments pro and 1 con. All those who are fortunate l enough 70 attend will be treated to an
 exposition of politics such as rarely is | permitted to those outside the game l Those who cannot make the journey

It Takes Two to Make a Peace.
(New York Sum-


 Ambassador Gerard's approach to his native land is signalized by the revival of reports circulated at the time of his departue from Germany which represent him as the bearer of communications in which Teutonic willingness to enter on negotiations for the re-esta b1ishment of peace throughout the world Is set forth, and the suggestions is made that the United States might appropriately take the initiative in setting before ending the war.
 MT. Gerard sailed for America on September 28. Is it only a coinci- dence that September 28 was the date chosen by David Lloyd George, British Secretary of State for War to declare:
 ''The whole world, including neu- trals of the highest purposes and humanitarians with the best motives, must know that there can be no out side interference at this stage.
 Britain asked no intervention when she was not prepared to fight.
 "She will tolerate none now that she is prepared to fight.
 "She will tolerate none now that the Teutonic alliance should be willing to negotiate for peace on the basis of the military situation now existing: but what of the Allies who within three months have found themselves sufficiently equipped to meet their enemies in the field on something like equal terms

1. Compare the achievements of Charles E. Hughes as governor of New York with the achievements of Woodrow Wilson as Governor of New Jersey and President of the United States.
 g. Compare MT. Hughes speeches on the issues of the campaign with President Wilson's speeches.
 The voter who does this without passion and without prejudice can come to only one conclusion: That President Wilson ought to be re- elected by the greatest popular ma- jority that any candidate ever re- ceived.
