Gives Up Race for Congress.

Gives Up Race for Congress.
John G. Mclaughlin, who accepted the
nomination for congress from the So
cialist convention in the Third congress
sional district. has decided to withdraw
and devote his energies to the election
of A. NJ. Jackson, the Democratic nomi-
nee. He says that after making
thorough canvass of two counties he be-
came convinced that he was drawing
votes from the POpulist and Democratic
parties and that by staying in the race
he was doing good for the Republicans
alone. For this reason he decided to
withdraw and will work Tor the entire
Democratic ticket. He has given out a
long letter in which he urges the union
labor men in his district to support
Jackson, Bryan and Breidenthal.
The withdrawal of Mr.. Mclaughlin al
most assures the election of Mr. Jack
son as the Third district has been car
ried by the Fusionists for the past four
years 1t is the center of organized Ia
Dor and includes the great mining dis
trict of Kansas.
G. c. Clemens has called his commit
tee together to put a man on the ticket
in place of Mclaughlin.
