TAYLOR wTTHDRAwS.

To the voters and democrats OF
the 102nd District:
With some regret make this
announcement. In submitting
my name as a candidate for rep
resentative, | did so with the un-
derstanding that my views and
the policy adopted would har-
monte with the voters Of the
District; but since my announce
ment, find that many of my
friends and voters of the district
hold different opinions on the
land question from those / be-
lieve to be the best for our coun-
try, and | could not accept the
nomination upon what | believe
to be the wrong policy for our
district to adopt. In doing so, |
would not only sacrifice my prin-
ciples, but would array friends
against friends, and placed in an
attitude that / could not acquit
myself in way that would do
Justice to myself and be satisfac-
tory to my friends, The meeting
of the next Legislature will be one
of great Importance to West Tex
as, and should extreme measures
be adopted, as many of our peo-
pie are advocating, it will greatly
impede the progress and develop
ment of this country. This is a
matter that every voter in this
district should look well to.
/ believe the time has come,
and the demands are so great that
the absolute lease line will be
abolished, and the school lands
put on the market for homes.
The ranchmen who have these
lands leased and improved should
have due notice and time to give
the land up and to prevent their
ruin on many instances, and great
loss to all, think, or should
have a law giving an assignee of
leased property, who is a bona
fide resident in good faith, a
prior right to four sections of his
lease hold, and that a sufficient
oath be required with sufficient
punishment for violating that
oath. that would be as binding
and prohibiting as our statutes
are against other violations of the
law. This would enable our
large ranchmen to dispose of
their lease holds and give many
homes to those that need them.
To abolish the quarantine line
would increase our trouble. 1t
can be regulated on a more equi-
BILE manner. This is my sincere
opinion of these questions, and if
it were not as above stated, and
my professional and business
duties making 80 great demands
for my time, ! would have been
glad to have continued the race.
And will say to my friends, while
our chances for success are flat
tering, hope you will agree with
me, that this is wise step for
my future welfare. want to
thank my many friends of the
district for the willing support
they have given me at all times,
and that / may, in the future, be
able to serve you in some way,
and that you will find me on all
occasions ready to rally to your
assistance either in private OF
public affirs.
Yours Very Truly,
A. l.. TAYLOR. NJ. D.

delphia trust company to secure
the release of his friend, Major
Estes G.. Rathbohe. from a Cuban
prison.
The senator asked nobody to
help him. He made no show
about it. He simply went to his
own strong box, took out 100000
worth of United States bonds and
handed them over to this trust
company as a guarantee that Rath-
bone would not leave Cuba while
his appeal for new trial is pend
ing.
There are few instances in the
history of politics in this country
where one man has gone 80 far for
another man. Very few persons
doubt that Rathbone was mixed
up in the Cuban postal frauds
which brought such a scandal on
the first Mckinley administration.
Hanna insists that Rathbone is
an honest man. He says 80 on
every occasion. He backs his argu-
ment with the claim that if Rath-
bone had dishonest hair in his
head he would long ago have been
millionaire.
Rathbone was at the head of
the postoffice inspectors when the
Louisiana lottery was routed out
of New Orleans. He did all the
work that sent that organization
to Honduras and made it necessa-
ry for it to advertise under the
guise of an ice machine factory.
Hanna's argument is that if
Rathbone had any dishonest
blood in him he would have realiz-
ed on it then and there. He
could have had a million dollars
for letting up. But he was re-
morseless. There wasn't enough
money in New Orleans to bride
him. Then, again, says Hanna,
Rathbone has been a thief-taker
all his life. He knows the conse-
quences.
Hanna has worked hard to get
Rathbone out of Jail. He helped
him while he was waiting for trial
thinking, he says that Rathbone
would be proven innocent. He
thinks the trial was a farce, and
he has secured from the president
a promise to review the evidence,
a transcript of which will soon
arrive. If this does not avail,
Senator Hanna has said he will
do what he can to get u pardon
for Rathbone from President Pal.
