LOWNDES OUT OF IT..
HE WILL NOT DE A CANDIDATE
FOR THE SENATE.
TIE REASONS THAT MOVE HIN.
IL Has Never Been His Intention 10
Use the Covcrnorship to Farther
His Ambition-iIe Says n Word fos
McComns.

BALTIMORE, December 3i.-Goyernor
Isowndes has withdrawn from the sena-
torial contest.
The Governor was In Baltimore last
night. and had conference with a num-
Der of his friends. including Senator Well
lington: Judge David w. Sloan, OF Cum
berland. ana sub-rreasurcr James NJ.
Lown.
Speaking Of the senatorial situation, and
his position In regard 10 II, no said:
you may say for me that my namo
will not be presented to the caucus or
my party as a candidate for the United
States senatorship TO succeed Senator
German. 1 have decided to WITHDRAW
from the senatorial contest.
This conclusion have reached after
carefully considering the circumstances
surrounding my nomination by the Re
publican party for the Office now hold
and the circumstances under which was
elected to that office. Added to these are
other reasons.
Il shall not attempt to conceal the fact
that I have had an ambition TO represent
my State I'm the Senate OF the United
States, and 1 have so publicly expressed
myself. But all the reports TO the con-
trary Notwithstanding, l wish IL distinct-
ly understood that il was never my in
tention. as has been insinuated. TO use
my Office as Governor Of this State in the
manner which has been attributed TO me.
| believe that if ! desired to use the pa
tronage of my Office to make myself tho
Senator from Maryland, it could be done.
l think those who know me feel that
rather than crafty any desire may have
had TO be Senator from Maryland by the
prostitution of the office l hold for my
own personal Advancement, j would re-
sign 1t tomorrow and never again enter
public life.
II speak with some feeling on this
point. as | have been charged in various
directions with having this i'm mind. and
as having already attempted to carry out
this idea. l believe i'm the old theory that
he who serves the people best, serves
his party best and l shall continue to
the end of my term TO advance the best
interests OF my state, without fear or
favor, content that the work thus done
shall convince the people OF Maryland
that they made no mistake when they
entrusted the Republican party with the
management Of it's affairs
Governor Lowndes was asked what his
ideas were regarding the senatorial race.
and what would be the effect OF his
withdrawal.
He stated: Judge McComas has n
strong following. He is eminently quail
fled to represent Maryland i'm the Senate
Of the United States. His long and useful
public life, and his qualities as a speaker,
| ably qualify him for this position"

CANADIAN COTTON-MILLs THRIVE.
knitting-NIiIl People Think Of Try.
Ing Combination Also

MONTREAL, QUEBEC. December 81
While the cotton-miIls in the New Eng
land States are in very bad way, ow-
ing 10 the keen competition Of the SOUTH
ern mills. the Canadian mills are doing,
and have done, lively trade. The knit
ting-mills have turned enormous receipts
upon the cotton-mills. and they attribute
the great success Of the latter TO tho
cOIlbine existing In the industry. so tho
knitting-mils people think that they will
try a combination also. Prices must be
put up. and the output regulated. AS
the Canadian wool crop was smaller this
year than last, and as prices have been
too low for any decent business for
long time the wool men have taken adj
vantage OF the shorter supplies and the
larger demand TO put up prices. This ma
turally affects the knitting-mills. Their
raw material IS more expensive now, and
they think the time has come TO better
their position all around.

CHICAGO. December 31.--Chicago pack
ers who manufactured butterine as side
