P.T. 巴纳姆《奋斗与胜利》· Struggles and Triumphs · 领导
The theory of our government is, that the will of the people shall be the law of the land. It is important, therefore, that the people shall vote understandingly, and especially at this important crisis in our national existence. In order, that the voters of this district shall fully comprehend the principles by which each of their congressional candidates is guided, I respectfully invite you to meet me in a serious and candid discussion of the important political issues of the day, at various towns in the Fourth Congressional District of Connecticut, on each week day evening, from the fourth day of March until the thirtieth day of the same month, both inclusive.

白话
巴纳姆认为,政府的根本原则是人民的意志应当成为法律,因此选民必须明明白白地投票,尤其在国家存亡的紧要关头。为了让本区选民充分了解每位国会议员候选人的立场,他邀请对手在康涅狄格州第四选区多个城镇,从3月4日到30日(含首尾)的每个工作日晚上,与他进行严肃而坦诚的政治议题讨论。这相当于主动约对手公开辩论,把竞选变成一场巡回说明会,让选民直接听、直接判断,而不是靠传言或金钱拉票。
上下文
巴纳姆是美国19世纪著名马戏团老板,晚年竞选康涅狄格州国会议员,这是他公开挑战对手辩论的邀请信。
