Harrison Declines
Debate Challenge
Alleges "Disfranchisement" of Voters
Will Not Discuss With Paul
During Campaigl-ScOres
House Committee

Winchester, Oct. 13.-Representa-
tive Thomas w. Harrison, Democrat,
Of Winchester, today declined to en-
ter into a series of joint debates
with State Senator John Paul, Repub-
lican, of Harrisonburg, who is Harri-
sons opponent in the Seventh Vir-
ginia district election next month.
The challenge in behalf of Senator
Paul came through John F. Beard, of
Harrisonburg, Republican district
chairman. who said Harrison had said
the contested election case Of 1920
between Paul and Harrison would ne
an Issue of the present campaign and
that "to these statements Senator Paul
has not had the opportunity nor the
medium of publicity to reply"
The House elections committee re-
Gently decided to recommend the
seating of Paul as against Harrison
as result of the 1920 contest, but the
House las not yet voted On the ques-
ton. It is expected. however. that at
the forthcoming session of Congress
the committees recommendation viii
be adopted and Paul given Harrl-
sons seat.
In replying to the challenge. Mr..
Harrison said the matter was immc-
diately referred to the Democratic
congressional committee, which re-
fused to alter its plans in reference
thereto.
He then says:
Senator Paul has the same pub
licity facilities have, il not superior.
The judicial character OF Chairman
Dallinger. of the elections committee,
will be considered by the people of this
district on November : next. The
people TO whom he has denied the
RIGHT Of representation, the peopie
he has ruthlesslv disrranchised. the
taxpavers whom he has assessed with
an unearned salary of $4,000 by his
nartisan politics. will fix his status
in this great district forever. AnGd
this will apply to the people o. all
political faiths"

"still reads: Thou shalt not steal
and think this applies to politics as
we'll as to all matters and leaves no
room for discussion in this case

In this dispatch, the second of the
political series by Lawrence Martin,
United Press Staff Correspondent,
the present political situation is out
lined from a G.. o. p. standpoint by
John T. Adams, chairman of the Re
publican National Committee. ms
will be followed by a dis1atch giving
the view of Cordell Hull, chairman
of the Democratic National Commit
tee.
Washington, Oct. 13.-The facts Of
returning prosperity, and not the
empty oratory or argument OF the
canpaigner will win the congressional
election this year, John L. Adams,
chairman of the Republican National
Committee declared today IN sizing
ND. for the United Press, the poll
teal situation from G. 0, +. stand
point.
In fact. Adams said, the election al
ready has been won because OF re-
turning prosperity.
"The outcome" said Adams, rs not
in doubt. The only question remain
ING in the size of the Republican MIA
ioTity in the senate and the house
From all indications these Will be
the maiorities of normal republican
years" ,
Reminded that everybody expected
him to say something like that, ana
that there was nothing new or startl-
ing i'm such prediction prediction
Adams replied that this is not cam
paign marked by new or startling
political developments. 1t is a cam
paign Of reason and not of emotion,
he said. and the people refuse 10 oe
sWayed by catch phrases.
Asked to outline the basis for his
great confidence, Adams said:
"Business conditions are getting bet
ter every day. They have been stead
Iv improving for months. These con-
ditions reflect what is taking place
i'm industrial centers and in agrlcul-
tural sections. Industries are increas-
ing their output, many of them work
ING at the limit of capacity. Labor is
in great demand at good wage.
Agriculture is in far better shape
than il was a year ago. The credit
situation throughout the agricultural
districts is goou. Productions costs
are lower and process for farm pro-
ducts higher.
1T therefore takes no argument
or campaign oratory to convince wage
earners that times are better than
they were when the republican ad-
ministration came into power.
Democratic opposition, Adams said,
is once more based upon a eaten
phrase-"the do-nothing congress -
which, ne declared, "is a misleading
h as that other phrase he kept us out
of war
The chairman was asked his opln--
ion of the reason for the widespread
1 public political apathy. He smiled as
4 though to say That's easy" and re-
Il piled:
This is not a demonstrative cam
= paigp because the people have made
4 Up their minds that their Judgment
was good when they placed their con-
Il fdeuce in the Harding administra-
tion. Now they want to see that ad-
4 ministratiou's work carried on and
81 completed.
"A "There is not the least doubt" he
"A concluded with emphasis, that the
fnaiority Of the voters viii render
s#their decision in favor of electing a
"a republican congress to continue the
a cooperation with the administration
