Mr.. CLAWS LETTER TO Gov. OwsLEY, DECLINING THE
OFFICE u. s. SENAToR.-AsHLANp, June % 1913.
DEAR Sn,-I have the honor to acknowledge the
ceipt your letter of the Goth inst delivered to me
yesterday by Secretary Mitchell, rendering tenn
porary appointment of q Senator from Kentucky in
consequences ola vacancy produced by the resignation
me to accept the office from various reasons. which
admit possess considerable force There much
to apprehend that both in domestic and foreign
reatons, grave and momentous questions may arise
the proper adjustment of which will require all the mo-
uerhuon, Wisdom, ana experience winch can Do
placed in the national councils. When you
kind enough, some weeks ago, to intimate to me
that you had intended, in the event Of the va
cancy which has since occurred, to offer me
executive appointment, it is true that observed to
you that as had taken formal and final leave Of the
United States Senate could not return to without
apparent inconsistency and some personal embarrass
ment. But this was not the only consideration that
weighed with me- My service in the two chambers of
Congress had been long ard arduous. | had
manned in the Senate longer than wished at the in
stance of the General Assembly of Kentucky I
highly competent citizens of the State from whom
easy selection might be made to supply my place.
IL there were certainty tina. any great rsency
would arise and that better than another, could
assist in conducting the safely through it,
obcying the paramount duty which one owes ever to
his country, would suppress all repugnance which
feel to the resumption of seat in the Senate dis
and proceed with aIacrity, to p' the post which
might be assigned me. But dark and threat
enns as the clouds ar, are which oyerhang us,
bursting upon our heads but If 1t should come,
am persuaded that the commonwealth has many citi-
able than am to face and avert its effects.
must, therefore, adhere to the resolution which l
communicated to your excellency and respectfully de-
cline accepting the appointment which you have had
the goodness to offer If 1t possible for to
reconcile to my feelings and to of public duty,
my return to the Senate there are minor consid
eratons opposed to my acceptance of temporary ap
pointment, not without weight in my mind. The ses-
sion Of the Senate is drawing to close By the time
that could make preparations for the journey and
ach Washington very short remnant oft would be
left during which could render essential service.
with the meeting of the General Assembly that body
will have to perform the duty of designating Mr. Crits
tendens successor. j am unwilling to be in position
which might occasion it the least in the
choice of that successor. request your exceency to
accept my profound Acknowledgements for the dstin-
gushed proof Of the confidence in which you DO
the honor to entertain. have the honor to be, with
the highest respect, your excelencys obedient ser
want. ii. CLAY.

Winnebagoes, and persuade them to move. They
