Dawson Ne1cs: The NetOS has not been
authorized to announce that Judge Guerry
will retire from the congressional race. but
we think it is highly probable that he will
do 50. or one thing we are certain, and
that Is he has neither the time nor inclina-
| ton to prosecute the canvass further. His
Judicial duties now demand all his time
and under the circumstances it is impossible
for him to enter in an active campaign
such a campaign would be necessary to
give him chance of success and insure
final victory. However, Judge Query is
being urged by friends in other counties to
remain in the race, and he may do SO, but
the Nel0S believes that next week it will
publish his withdrawal.
