HON. T. G. HUDSON ISSUES
REPLY TO OPEN LETTER
l OF 'CONG. C. R. CRISP
| Hon. C. R. Crisp,
Americus, Ga.,
Dear Sit: \
The receipt of your campaign
note, paraded under the name of
“a challenge to debate” is hereby
acknowledged.
Since you have failed to intro
duce any issues into the cam
paign which involve matters of
interest to the public, I fail to see
lin what way a joint debate would
be of interest to the people of the
Third District. :
| Referring particularly to that
part of your letter in which you
express your determination to
discuss my record, will say: My
record was made, and all the facts
were well known to you when in
March, 1912, you hailed me as a
friends and unqualifiedly endors
ed me for Governor. If then, with
all the facts fresh before you, you
could act as unmanly and deceit
ful as to address me as follows:
l * Magch 15, 1916
“Hon. T. G. Hudson,
' “Capitol,
“Atlanta, Ga.
“Dear Tom: 1 hasten to write
you to express my profound
thanks and to assure you that I
stand ready to do all in my power
for you and have so written
friends since your announcement.
“It is hardly necessary for me
to say herein that while I thought
you would be a candidate against
me that I never said one unkind
word about you, but always said
you were my friend.
“Of course I do not want you
to do anything to injure your
self, but will be most grateful to
vou if you wiil work for me as
you only know how.
Goon 2. Yout. frietids,
T CHARLES R CRISP.”
while entertaining the opinion
which you have recently express
ed in regard to my official record,
I do not care to discuss records
with. I cannot and will not de
bate character, reputation or ser
vice with any man who, by his
own act, admits lack of truth and
candor in his speaking.
“I am not willing, at this time,
to abandon the good opinion I
have formed of you during past
years of personal acquaintance—
' which T had considered years of
friendship—l am sure your re
cent malicioug distortion of facts
regarding my record are but the
ravings of a defeated politician.
If, as Congressman, you really
desire to be of service to your
people, I suggest that you devote
your oratory, and offer your
]cnunsel to aid the administration
in the present extra-ordinary cri
sis which threatens the nation’s
welfare should the general threat
ened railroad strike materialize.
If you fear my campaign talks
are hurtful to your candidacy,
I hereby agree to cancel all fur
ther talks on my part, provided
| you go to Washington, to your
-post of duty, and render the peo
wle who honored you with their
rfilppnrt the service to which they
elected you, and for which you
are drawing your pay.
Respectfully Yours,
T. G. HUDSON.
