CATO SELLS WILL
LEAVE The STATE
viNToN MAN ANNOUNCES HIS
WITHDRAWAL FROM COMMIT
TEE CONTEST
Interests in Southwest Demand His
Attention to the Extent That His
/ Removal From the State is Made
Necessary.

News that will surprise the state
was made public at Vinton when Hon.
Cato Sells announced that he would
soon rbe compelled to remove from
Iowa and that therefore he had with
drawn from the race for national COM
mitteeman.
For many years Mr.. Sells has been
one. Of the leading democrats of this
state. He has always been foremost
In the fight for democratic principles
tand he. has fought so honorably and
squaraly, withal, that even his politi-
cal foes have been constrained to re-
spects and admire him His removal
from Iowa will be distinct loss to
the democratic party in this state. Mr..
Sells statement follows:
Mr.. Sells Statement.
I am but recently home from a
thirty days absence during which time
1t has developed that my business in
forests in the southwest will not per-
NIT me long to remain a resident of
Iowa For that reason, and in good
faith to all concerned, cannot con-
TIME my candidacy for nationa. co1u-
mitteeman
Inspired to seek the appointment
because 1t appeared to be party duty,
am gratif1ed that my purpose has
been largely accomplished. Aggressive
fnter-party controversy is desirable
only when important principles or poll
cies are involved and as now presented
do not think continuance of the
contest justif1able.
wish to extend sincere new year
greetings to all Iowa democrats and to
heartily thank those who have given
me their support in my effort to help
make Iowa substantial factor in the
great national contest for the suprem-
acy of democratic principles as applied
to present day issues
Upon the withdrawal of Mr.. Sells
from the contest for place on the ma
tional committee Judge Wade said in
an interview:
nave already been advised by Mr..
Sells of his withdrawal ais a candidate
for national committeeman While /
am gratified to know that this unfor-
tunate controversy is at an end, yet l
can but feel regret at the contemplated
removal of Mr.. Sells from this state.
There has never been any personal
feeling between Mr.. Sells and myself
In this contest.
".Mr.S Sells will be greatly missed
from the councils of the party In this
state. He has always been an earnest
2 and enthusiastic democrat and those
Nhes.1 have differed with him will,
I am sure,3 give him credit for sin
cerity of purpose.
tAs national committeeman for Iowa
] can assure the democrats of the state
that will represent no faction and no
clique. shall honestly endeavor to
represent the whole and hope to see
any bitterness engendered in the past
months entirely eliminated. I want to
see the democrats stand shoulder to
shoulder, Loyalty and aggressiyely fight
ing for chose principles SO dear to the
hearts of all true democrats and SO es-
sential to the well-being of the repub-

age price of S1.50 per bushel, this sounds pretty good The beauty about the crop is that it comes at time when it does not so much interfere with other crops and brings money to the grower when he most needs it. 1t gives en- ployment to more people and to a class of people who often go unemployed. Let Southern Arkansas get the peach habit, the strawberry habit, the melon habit, and mix them along with the old standby, king cotton, and we will soon be advertising in foreign papers some thing like this: Wanted, laborers for general farm work; highest wages paid, work light and agreeable in a land of sunshine and plenty, etc."

It seems that other states of the Union are not so sure about the two cent rate law. In Missouri they always have to be shown, you know, and they are going to try it for few months. In New York, Governor Hughes, who has gained reputation for common honesty and the square deal, has belated the bill. Hughes is not railroad man, either. If states like New York and Missouri hesitate about the two-cent rate, we may begin to think that the rate, we may begin to think that the less populous state of Arkansas has been in a hurry. We are not ready to repeal our law yet, however.
