Raleigh head quarters gathered this hot day bv some indirect route that scheduled joint debates between Congressman Bob Doughton and II. S. Williams. Republican nominee will not lake place this campaign and the joy rule ippears to be off. The news isn't sufficiently barked up to make the statement definite but this appears to be one of the dis cussions which the Republicans arc not insisting upon seriously. It isn't offered as final proof, but. if Mr. Williams has not leen tiped off many Republicans have been derelict. Mr. Doughton went through the state Sunday and discussed the cam paign, but briefly. He had heard the suggestion that Mr. Williams would make a single-handed canvass but the former congressman was counting up on the joint issues to furnish him the biggest time of an abbreviated life. The congressman was on his way to the mountains then and exiected to settle the issues with Mr. Williams Both men desire newspaer eorres IHwdents on the trip. Nothing has been heard since the meeting Monday and down here there's a deal of dis ipiiintment. The Republicans are making their flght exclusively on state issues. Thev announced ID months ago that they were going to do that and gave the Democracy notice. Thev promised not to forget the tariff and the panic tint along came what Tom Owen calls a wave "of prosperity that literally rolled the Democrats over and knock ed them down in spite of them selves," and the panic was impos sible.
