ILLNESS COMPELLED IT.
The Reasons for Mr..
Young's Withdrawal
from the Guberna-
toria1 Race.
GOV. ALBEIT ALONE In THE FIELD
There Is No Time Now for a New
Candidate to Make a Canvass
Against Him.

The withdrawal from the canvass for
the Governorship of Edward F. c. Young,
president Of the First National Bank. is
announced in all the morning papers Of
today. 1t is due to an illness that attacked
him just after he entered the lists. Two
or three weeks ago friends, who visited
him at the bank, saw evidences of unusual
physical distress stamped on his face.
The trouble seemed to be only an aching
tooth, but it was SO painful that he lost
several nights sleep. He finally concluded
to visit dentist, and called on Dr.. Me-
Naughton. The dentist examined the
offending member, and discovered that
two of President Young's teeth on the
lower jaw had become badly liberated
The teeth were drawn, but the pain con-
tinued, and DIR. Lutkins, who was called.
discovered that the bone of the Jaw had
in some way become separated Pus
gatherings displayed themselves in the
cavity. and there was imminent danger
or blood poisoning. The disease is known
technically as necrosis; and it became
necessary for Mr.. Young to submit to an
operation for the removal of fragments OF
the bone, while continuous applications
of carbolic acid were necessary to destroy
the pus saes.
BY DIR. LUTKINS' ORDER
Meanwhile Mr.. Young was becoming
weak and losing flesh. Added to the
| misery and danger of his disease he lost
rest and for six or seven nights was un-
able to go to bed. The effect became
| visible in his appearance, but he was
sicker even than he looked. He braced
! up sufficiently to enable him to spend an
hour or two at the bank Tuesday. We'd
nesday he was on hand all day attending
| to business.
But DR.. Lutkins advised him that if he
| expected to recover he must leave cares
of all kinds and take absolute rest for
month. This meant not only abstention
| from his many business attractions, but
| inattention to the canvass he had entered
| upon for the Governorship.
VERY SICK MAN.
Tuesday afternoon ne called his friends
| together. and had a consultation with
them. Among those present were United
| States Senator John r. Mcpherson and
| State Senator William D. Edwards 1t
| was then concluded that his retirement
from the political race was of prime
| to go to Spring Lake, and deputed Sena-
| tor Edwards to make public the fact of
| his withdrawal.
saw Mr.. Young in the bank building
yesterday afternoon. He bore well with
| his inirmities, but 1t was plain to the eye
! that he was far from enjoying the robust
health that he has always enjoyed. He
was getting things in shape for his depar-
ture, and at thirty five minutes past three
| he left for the seaside.
| SENATOR EDWARDSaSs ANNOUNCEMENT
| "Mr. Young" Senator Edwards said to
me when saw him yesterday, went into
| the canvass for the Governorship with the
| determination of winning If it were pos
| sible, and his campaign was beginning to
assume shape and direction when he was
| attacked Dy his illness. He is so badly
reduced in health, however, that he could
not engage actively in the campaign, and
| work for him.
HE was not sure that. even If he secured
| the nomination his health would permit
| him to do active work for the party; and
rather than imperil its success by taking
| its standard while he was sick he deter
mined not to push his claims any fur
| ther"
"How does the retirement leave the
situations" asked of the Senator.
| at gives Governor Albeit walk over"
| was the Senator's response.
| The vacation Mr.. Young Is taking Is
| the first he has taken in many years.
SHERIFF DAVIS VIEWS
| Sheriff Davis said this morning that
| F. G. Young had withdrawn from the
contest for the Democratic nomination
| for Governor. He said it would natur-
| ally give Ex-Governor Albeit a walkoyer,
| and no unpleasant political fight would
| be caused The Sheriff further said that
| he understood that the only reason Mr..
| Young withdrew as candidate was be-
cause of his recent illness and the advice
| of his physicians.
