JEFFRIS QUITS RACE
GAINESVILLE Man Declines to Run.
for Congress From the
First District
NOLAN TO BE SUBSTITUTED

| Late Friday afternoon Malcolm G.
Jeffris, of GAINESVILLE, made formal
announcement of his withdrawal
from the race flor the Republican
nomination for congress IL the First
congressional district. His withdrawal
comes ASA surprise to his friends and
is stated by Mr.. Jeffris to be for pure
| 1y personal reasons.
| AttorneyICT Thomas IS. Nolan, of
GAINESVILLE, has announced that he
will make the run against Mr.. Cooper.
Mr.. Nolan was formerly one of Mr..
lCooper's strongest supporters and has
stood by him in his last two fights for
domination.
Mr.. j effris' letter is as follows;
"Before making the announcement
that Wou1dsbe candidate was urged
to do so by men from every county in
this district, and since that time /
have received assurance of support
Of the most gratifying kind, but, as
you well know, in order to carry on a
| successful campaign under a primary
election law il is necessary to organ
] ize the entire district, to have
| personal machine, to solicit votes, to
make arrangements to get voters to
the pol1s--in other words, do all that
is necessary to be done in a political
campaign and do it all in ones own
| personal interest.
81 thought at first I could do this.
| find, however, that it is going to be
absolutely impossible for me to carry
on this work. Since making my an
nouncement business matters have
arisen which require my closest per-
sonal attention, and cannot devote
the time which my friends have
right to expect Of me in a campaign.
| do not mean by this that have lost
any interest in politics, as / expect in
the future to continue to have the
same interest as / have in the past,
but prefer that such interest be i'm
| personal.
II am duly grateful to the many
people who have offered me support
and haveisaid kind things to and about
me, and to them / give my sincere
| thanks"
| Mr.. Nolan formally announced his
candidacy this afternoon and issued
the following platform:
To the voters Of the First Congress
siona1 District of Wisconsin,:
am a candidate for the nomination
as member of the House Of Repre-
canfa+;var ~ Ala p me-, +:oI-o4
So that there may be no misunder-
standing between US, feel that I
should inform you concerning my
views ou'some of the questions that
are pressing, and others that begin
to loom.
I hope you will not consider it out
Of place for me to state that am In
favor Of ali the Legislation of a re-
fora nature that has recently been
made the law Of this state. I cor
daily believe that wise and able men
should be chosen to enforce these
laws.
am in favor Of such legislation,
and in case I should be nominated
and elected, would do all in my pow
er to aid in securing it, that will at
tain the following:
The curtai1ment of the hours of
labor Cn all public work, both state
and national to eight hours each day,
and on all private work when prac-
ticable.
Due notice of every application for
an 1njEnctiona1 or restraining order
in any court, whether in a dispute
between labor and capital, or other
wise.
A sane and proper regulation of
railroad and other corporations, and
the prevention of detrimental combi-
nations thereof.
A judicious revision of the tariff
laws, lessening or abolishing the tax
on the necessities of life
Old age pensions, and system of
workingmen' S insurance.
will strenuously oppose any and
all legislation that would tend to |
make improbable the cultivation of !
sugar beets and tobacco, even though |
It may seem necessary to theorists |
that we should suffer in order to |
favor the people of our insular pos
sessions.
These are principles. that I would |
contend for in case were elected. II
do not think it necessary to elabo-
rate any further at this time.
After reading this, if you can con-
scientiously support me, I will be
pleased to have you do so.
Trusting that you will, remain,
Respectfully,
T. S. NOLAN. 4
