tour and appearance the semblance OF

HE GIVES HIS REASONS
Friends Favor Him but Doubt Wis
dom of Candidacy at This Time.
THREE CANDIDATES NOW IN THE FIELD
There Is a Suggestion Of Other Names o.
Prominent Democrats Who May Enter
the Race. May the Strong
est Candidate Win!

Mr.. Edward w. Pou withdraws
from the race as a candidate for the
Democratic nomination as member OF
Congress from the Fourth Congress
sional district.
This announcement will be read
with surprise all over the district.
Mr.. Pou had the matter of his candi-
dacy under advisement for several
weeks, and about ten days ago, au-
thorized his friends to announce that
he was in the race. He had large
and enthusiastic support and his
friends believed that he was certain
to secure the nomination. His card
is as follows:
To the Editor:
You may announce my withdrawal
as a candidate for the nomination for
Congress before the Democratic con-
vention, which meets on the 9th day
of September.
/ think it due my friends that they
should know in perfect candor, the
reasons which have prompted me to
take this action.
About ten days ago I announced
that i would be a candidate for the
nomination before the convention.
No sufficient reason appeared at that
time why | might not make the an
nouncement. | had promised no man
not to be a candidate. Some of my
friends were kindly urging me to
make the announcement, and to be
candid, aspired to a seat in Congress
an ambition which | do not think
in the least blameworthy. But |
said to my friends all the time that
/ did not desire the nomination if in
any degree my candidacy might impe-
ril perfect harmony in the party to
which | am proud to belong.
Since this announcement was made
I have talked and communicated with
quite a number of my friends over
the district. most of them seem to
think | stand a good chance to be
nominated, but some of them tell me
and write me, that in their judgment,
/ ought not to go before the conven-
ton and they assign reasons in sup
port of their position. The candidate
who goes before n convention asking
for nomination TO a high ONCE
should be supported not only by the
votes OF MS 1T1enCtS, DuI he SIlOultl DS
sustained by their judgment as well.
I am told by some who declare their
intention to support me in the con-
vention, that my nomination might
infiict some injury upon the party
outside this district. | have letter
from a prominent gentleman, who re-
sides in a remote part of the district,
to this effect. OF course no loyal
Democrat could take this risk, even
if a nomination and a certain election
we're offered him. While the an
nouncement of my candidacy was
purely voluntarily, yet, as l have
said before. as was induced by gen
erous assurance of support, especially
in my own county. A large majority
of the party in that county has always
favored the nomination of a man who
has never deemed it his duty to leave
the Democratic party. | told Mr.. At
water three weeks before the election
