To the Democrats Of Audran County:
With an earnest desire to pro-
mote peace and harmony in my ma
tive county, which Is paramount
to my ambition to be Judge of the
Eleventh Judicial district, l deem
it to the best interests of Audrain
ouuty, in view Of the intense state
of feeling now existing in the
county, that withdraw from the
race for said position.
Judge J. D. Barnett of Mont
gomery county having entered the
contest in Audrain county, would
necessitate my making a campaign
of the. county which would be very
detrimental to tie welfare Of the
county under existing circumstan-
ces.

tons were such that | could fee
justified in continuing in the race
