ANYWHERE EXCEPT
Church, HE SAYS
Dr.. Straton Refuses to Debate
Smith There

New York, Aug. IS R}-The Rev.
DR.. John Roach Straton, pastor of
Calvary Baptist church, has refused
to meet Governor Smith in debate
in his church on the grounds that
the pulpit is no place for a political
discussion.
Gov. Smith had asked to be al
the attack DIR. Straton made on him
from the pulpit of Calvary a week
ago Sunday in which the governor
was called the "deadliest foe OF
moral progress in the country"
DR.. STATIONS refusal to meet the
governor in debate in Calvary was
made IN a statement read to the
congregation in Calvary last night by
his son, the Rev. Hillyer Straton Of
Philadelphia. who conducted the
evening service in the absence of his
father who is at his summer home
in Greenwood Lake, N. Y.
Il stand ready to meet the gov
ernor at any time, except the Lords
day and in any suitable place." DIR.
Straton wrote, "and ] sincerely hope
that he may be led to take an ac-
ceptance of his challenge at its face
value"
DR.. straton said that his previous
statement that he would meet Gov.
Smith face to face" in Calvary
church if the governor would also
debate him on the same question In
st. Patrick's Cathedral was in the
nature of a joke, and for the sake
of a bit Of humor to relieve the
rather tense situation"
DIR. Straton pointed out in the
statement that from the first he had
suggested Madison Square Garden as
a mort suitable place than the
church for the debate and that he
had never had any intention of de.
batting with Gov. Smith in Calvary
Several years ago DIR. Strator
opened his pulpit to William A
Brady. theatrical producer. witt
whom he debated the morals of tn.
stage and last year he held two de.

Since DIR. Straton made hi
charges against the governor ant
the latter asked for an opportunit,
to answer them, several Influential
members of the church have pro
tested both against DR.. Straton'
charges and against the proposet
use of the church for the debate.
Gov. Smith has not given any in
dication of what his answer will b
to the latest suggestion, but early i
the week he declined to conside
Madison Square Garden as a forum
saying he preferred to defend him
self in the same pulpit from whic
the charges were made.

The teacher got red in the face and
told the girl to sit down. Another
