McCarren-Woodruff joint debate assured

Timothy L. Woodruff and Patrick Henry McCarren, leaders of the Republican and Democratic parties of Brooklyn respectively, will debate the question “Resolved, That Theodore Roosevelt and his administration are responsible for the present disturbance in the financial world” at a date to be determined. Both men challenged each other at seemingly the same time. Woodruff left it to McCarren to set the date of the debate, and suggested Prospect Hall in Brooklyn, as the venue. Woodruff is known as a strong debater, in particular for his controversial debate with then-district attorney John Proctor Clarke in 1899.
