BROOKS DECLINES
TO DEBATE HEMRY
Waco Aspirant-Makes Public His
Letter to Congressman.
Direoti Attention to Fact That
Neither 'Has Presented Issues
Nor Published Platform on .
Which to Debate.
(Houston Post Sptciol.)
WACO Texas June It. In declining
an Invitation to trftet him In Joint debate
t 8tephenvllle July 1. Samuel Palmer
Brooks president of Baylor university
and- candidate for United States senator
has written the following to Congress-
man Robert Lee Henry:
Hon. R. L. Henry Waco Texaa.
My Dear Mr. Henry: Tour letter
dated June 5 and published In the Texas
newspapers June 6 reached me through
the malls June 7 In this I learn that
you have an engagement to speak at
StephenvlUe July 1 and that you invite
me to "a Joint discussion of the political
Issues." I Hereby publicly acknowledge
through the papers my appreciation of
tnis marked distinction particularly as
you select me alone from several an-
nounced candidates for the same high
office who are by you totally Ignored.
it is singular mat you suppose we
could hold a Joint discussion of any
profit to anybody with no Issues pre
sented and with no platform published
either by you or by me. In your chal-
lenge you do not affirm or deny any-
thing. I can only guess In part at what
you think are the "radical differences"
between us. I remind you that you are
member of the national house of rep
resentatives and have a fine opportunity
to set lie before the election some live
Issues of Interest to the Peoole of Texas.
and about which there may be no "rad
ical differences between us.
I ant amazed that you should have such
remarkable understanding and say: "In
asmuch as you are a candidate for Uni
ted States senator of course I fully un-
derstand you can not say It is too early
lor this discussion and assume you are
prepared to defend your candidacy." It
is true that I am a candidate for the
office of United States senator and it Is
true that I am prepared to defend my
candidacy. However your assumntlon
tnat l must defend it now and before yow
is wnouy gratuitous. This defense I
will make in my own way in my own
time. I will never dodge any question
that may arlss In congress or out of It.
and after my platform is published I
win flereno: it against all comers.
1 herewith express to the commltt
of StephenvlUe my deep appreciation of
tneir desire tnat 1 speak there on Ju v 1.
for from that place I have evidence even
since getting your letter that I will re
ceive a large generous and enthusiastic
support.
in consideration of what I said above
respectfully declina vour Invitation
ror ma to accept as conditions now sre
might bring your well known modesty
under suspicion.
As you gave your letter to th nr.
i repiy in me same way. very respect
fully 8. P. Brooks.
DAVIDSON IS CANDIDATE.
Declared His Intention to Endeavor to
eucceed ueorge r. Burgess.
iHouston Post Special.)
CUERO Texas June 12. The Post's
correspondent called on Hon. A. B. David
son this afternoon and asked him the
pointed question "Will you be a candidate
for congress from this district to succeed
Hon. Ueorge F. Burgess?" to which he
iepnea:
'Yes. I will and am now a candidate.
I will later give the reasons why I have
concluded to run for this office but I
might say that primarily I Hope I can do
something for this district's welfare and
i think that before a man asDires to be
a congressman rrom Texas or espclally
from this congressional district he should
at least have shown himself experienced
enough tn public affairs to do something
in Texas oetore ne asks to be sent to
Washington to try to do somethlna there
and I hone that my service In public of-
ces in Texas will Justify the conclusion
that i have done something tor the State
