<p class="MsoNormal">The scheduled debate between the Democratic Party candidates
for U. S. Senate set for next Thursday, Jan 21 at DePaul University has been
canceled. Two of the three leading candidates have chosen not to participate,
one at the 11<sup>th</sup> hour. State Treasurer Alexei Giannoulias, considered
by many to be the front runner in the race, had declined to debate from the beginning.
David Hoffman, another front running candidate informed the debate sponsors on
Wednesday, January 13, that he also was also unwilling to appear.</p>
<p class="MsoNormal"> </p>
<p class="MsoNormal">This left only Cheryle Robinson Jackson remaining as a front
running candidate. Jackson was the only candidate to call for an end to
the U. S. occupations of Iraq and Afghanistan in a debate broadcast on Channel
7 Tuesday night. </p>
