tor, | feel that | owe it to my friends
TO avoid any complications that might
follow any further delay on NV part.
10y stating | cannot be a candidate
for that position. The statute, gov
ernlng the holding of primaries and
ventiOnS IN the 18th Senatorial
district, makes it doubtful whether
the contest could be legally euded in
less than : 10 ) months. Again, any
dlSSension i'm the ranks of our county
democracy, no matter how small.
threatens the loss of the position 10
this county. Added to the above.
personal matters over which |
have no control make it impossible
for me To make the necessary canvass.
| want to take advantage of this Oh
portunitv 10 say that since nv name
was mentioned in connection with

aged me with pledges of support yer

tend to them my sincerest thanks.
also appreciate my own unworthiness
