WOODRUFF WOvr INTERFERE
In the Fight Jacob Worth 10 Making for {
Congress Nomination.

Lsut-Gov. Woodruff made this ststsmont
yesterday in reference to the candidacy OF
the Hon. Jacob Worth for the Congress nomi-
nation In the Fifth district:
That situation Is Congressional and not
q county one. Neither my present desires
nor my past career would lead any one to sup
pose that would attempt to interfere In a
local fight Of that character. In such a situa-
ton the strongest man with the greatest num-
Der Of votes should win the mination. II
II was a matter OF county leadership the situa-
tion would be different, ! have noticed with
pleasure that Mr. Worth has repeatedly said
In his published interviews that his fight was
not against the organization. State or county.
that Il was not directed against me, and he
incidentally made some very complimentary
remarks about me that could scarce help
approaching. ! do. not see. therefore. any
reason why should interfere with the action
OF the leaders and the people Of that district.
The fight is a purely local one and does not
concern me or the county, save that We should
have the hope that the best candidate sue
ceeds."
Mr.. Woodruff also said that he would not
be q candidate for Congress In the Third dis-
trict under any circumstances, and that he
was pledged to the support Of Magistrate Henry
Bristow. When questioned as 10 the Gov
ernorship.s he said: Il am not candidate for
Any Office"
