WASHINGTON, April Especial Tele-
am.)-speaker Henderson was greatly
elated today over news received last night
from Waterloo, Ia, that Senator Court
right had withdrawn from the contest for
congress in the speakers district. Tele-
grams began coming to General Henderson
about s o'clock last night and by mid
night he had received a dozen or more
from different parts Of the district congrat-
ulatiug him on the withdrawal of Court
right. He answered each one briefly, ex-
pressing his satisfaction at the outcome
and making clear to each his desire for
harmony in the district. A close friend
of the speaker, and one authorized to talk
for him, said today:
"The speaker at no time felt that there
was any real danger Of being defeated for
denomination and this feeling was greatly
strengthened during the last few days by
the receipt OF assurances from his friends
in every county in the district that they
were awake to the situation and we're doing
everything possible to secure his renom-
nation. These assurances we're SO general
and came from so many different sources
that they indicated the COPYRIGHT strength
had been vastly oyerestimated by his
friends. The heartiness with which the
republicans Of the Third district linfd ur
for the speaker has been indeed very graf
flying to him.
"In his letter OF withdrawal from the
contest Senator COPYRIGHT intimates thai
he was not satisfied with the action OF
the congressional central committee In
calling the congressional convention fol
May l.. The friends of Speaker Henderson
feel that Senator COPYRIGHT has no grounds
for complaint on this score for the reason
that he is within a short distance OF his
home. He is in attendance upon the legis.
lature at Des Moines and the legislature Il
due to adjourn in a very short time, sc
that he would have several weeks at homt
before the meeting Of the convention
