that I should consider the matter set
tied. You told me to publish it if !
desired, but we agreed that 1T was not
good policy to- stir up the senatorial con-
test so long before the trouble would
really begin. 1t was understood, how
ever, that L would at once write con-
fidential letters to friends of mine in all
sections of the state, announcing that ]
would be a candidate for the Senate
and that / had your cordial sympathy
and support. I did this, and from the
day those letters reached my friends
it was too late for me to make a play
thing of that question. or to ask the
sterling young Repub leans CT the no1th
who. by their energy and skill. have
made that section of the state Republi-
can, to follow a leader who did not
know his own mind from one week tic
another.

L could not then and cannot now tell
you. / did not expect it, for 1 sup
posed you would be a candidate fol-
reelection. You know Thomas Jeffer-
son said: Few die, and none resign,
