joint debate between Congressman J.
II. smithwick and Hon b. S. Han
sock was greeted here with a good
Crowd Of men and women voters.
Mr.. Hancock opened the debate us
ing only 10 minutes OF the As minutes
allotted him. These 10 minutes were
employed reading his old and well
known charges which he read from
manuscript.
7 Mr.. SnithwicS came on the stage and
in his usual convincing and masterful
manner refuted each and every charge
with unanswerable proof and with
stunning rsbuke OF the method OF pol
itical campaigning. The forceful man
ner in which Mr.. Smithwick exposed
the Hancock charges became a tragic
boomerang to the man or men who
made them.

speech Mr.. Hancock took only four
minutes Of the is minutes allotted him
in an effort to reply.
There was every evidence that those
present were fully satisfied with the
proof submitted by Mr.. Smithwick dis
proving the charges made by Mr.. Han
cock leaving the result Of this Joint
