His Party in IOwR-WtlI Later Give tn
 Detail His Views and Convictions on
 Public Questtons-G leduction of Tariff
 No Cure for Trusts
 Dubuque, Ia., Sept 16.-Speaker Hen derson, finding that his views in re- spect to the treatment of trusts by re- ducing the tariff in whole or in part are not in accordance with the views of his party in Iowa, has this day declined to accept the nomination for congress, and has withdrawn from the race.
 The following letter was addressed to c. E. Allbrook, chairman of the notifi- cation committee, Eldora, Ia, by Mr. Henderson,:
 My dear sir: have never answered she kind notice communicated by you and your associates advising me of my nomination for the eleventh time by ac- clamation as the republican candidate for congress for the Third congressional district of Iowa. Reported conditions in the public mind in my district upon public policies, induced me to make this delay. Since my return to the district have made a careful study as to the sentir ent in the district and state, and I believe there is no little sentiment, and growing sentiment, among repub- licans, that I do not truly represent fbnir, Iyibvr tha JHfe lieving this condition to exist and knowing that I do not agree with many of my people that trusts, to which am and have been opposed, can be cured or the people benefited by free trade, in whole or in part, I must decline to ac- cept the nomination so generously and enthusiastically made. have devoted twenty of the best years of my life to the service of my people and my coun- try, and l have fought for what I be- lieve to be best for the farmer, the la borer and the business interests of this district and state. I am grateful for the devotion that has ever been accord ed me and to the hour of my death I will hold in grateful heart the memory of that devotion. I will give later on
 
 tions on our conditions and on public questions, and will state my reasons why the republican party and it's poli- cies should continue in the confidence of the voters of the United States, and why the doctrines of the democracy should find no Judgement in the faith and teachings of the republican party
 Tn conclusion, desire to say that af- ter careful study of conditions and political views in Iowa, and in my own district, I am satisfied that I am not in harmony with a great many of the republican voters, who believe that free trade. in whole or in part, will remedy the trust evil. believe that it will not, but that such a remedy is likely to in volve the nation in dangerous results, and so believing, I feel that I should not accept the nomination for congress, which was so generously rendered me, and I have decided accordingly. I can not part from people that have loved and that have honored me without leav- ing an expression of my earnest and sincere views on this and other vital public questions.
 ''Very truly yours,
 ID. B. Henderson" Speaker Henderson announced his withdrawal after a conference of sever al hours duration with Chairman Glas- sier of the congressional committee and friends this afternoon. Speaker Hender- son has been contemplating this action for two weeks, but had intimated noth- ing of it to friends until yesterday. At to-day's conference his friends implored him not to take the action, but to no avail. He said he had made up his mind and no argument could cause him to change this decision. When asked for his seasons for his withdrawal, Speaker Henderson said: My letter to Chairman Allbrook is the whole thing in a nut shell. You cannot kill the trusts by applying free trade without killing our own industries. The foreign trusts are fighting the American trusts and don't believe that, for the purpose of controlling American trusts, we should make market for foreign trusts thereby crushing out the industries of this country. After my conference last Saturday at Waterloo, hearing the views of the chairman of my district, I concluded that my views on the tariff question were at variance with those of many of my party, and did not desire to appear in false position"
 Speaker Henderson gave out an ad- dress this evening which states his views on the tariff and trust questions, and because of these views, in his opin- ion are not not in accord with the state platform.
