What "Outfit" Is Running?

Wm. E. Wallace, Ft. Smith, Arkansas

I saw a copy of a letter the other day written by Guy N. Woods to a church member in Kansas City. In the letter Brother Woods said "We have got the Guardian outfit definitely on the run." I don't exactly know what the "Guardian outfit" is, but I do know who is doing the running, and he's not running in pursuit.

I just wonder what Brother Woods thinks about another debate with Roy E. Cogdill? I think he'll run a long time in the opposite direction of Brother Cogdill's presence before he'll sign more propositions with the Guardian publisher.

Those who were privileged to read the pre-debate correspondence between Brother Woods and Brother Cogdill know who does the running. Before the Birmingham debate Brother Woods took it on himself to "run after" Brother Cogdill, but it wasn't long until he bid goodbye (that's what he said) in that correspondence with Brother Cogdill, and ran the other way. But something happened down in Birmingham I think, maybe Brother Woods was threatened with Jack Meyer's Birmingham jail. Brother Woods "walked" back to talk some more with Brother Cogdill via the mails, and the debate materialized.

Now we'll see how long Brother Woods runs in the other direction before he decides to "walk" back again, for another debate.
