OUT OF THE RACE
WlTHoRAWs HIS NAME AS CAN.
oIoATE FOR REELECTION.
ON ADVICE OF DOCTORS
IN Precsrious Health Because o,
Long Strain - Statement by
New Jersey Mans Private
Secretary.

washington, Feb. 4.-United States
senator John E. Dryden of New, Jer.
sey Sunday night authorized the an.
nouncement that he had withdrawn
MS name as candidate for reelec-
ton to the United States senate.
This action was taken on the advice
OF the senator's physicians, who
warned him Of the danger to his
health If he persisted in attending the
public meeting arranged at his re-
quest to be held in Trenton to-day.
It was Senator Dryden's intention to
address the Republican members of
the legislature and set forth the rea-
sons, in his opinion, why he should
be reelected to the senate.
Doctors Notify Republicans.
Following the senator's decision to
withdraw his name, his physicians,
Drs. Edward ]. Ill and Charles L. Ill,
sent the following telegram to the
Republican leaders in the New Jersey
senate and house of assembly:
The condition Of Senator J. F.
Drydens health is such, on account
Of the long and severe strain under
which he has been, that we, his ply
sicians, have advised him that it ID
of imperative importance that he
should not attend the proposed con-
ference at Trenton on Monday"
Senator Dryden said he had hoped
at this meeting to be able to convince
the eight Republicans who refused to
he bound by the action of the party
caucus that their opposition to him
Is based upon mistaken grounds. The
speech which the senator intended to
deliver before the Republican caucus
at Trenton will be made public Mon
day.
For the Sake of His Party.
In explaining the senator's with
drawal from the senatorial race his
private secretary made the following
statement:
Senator Dryden concluded that a
continuance of the deadlock would
tend to injure the party and the state.
Accordingly he formally announced
his intention to withdraw. Senator
Dryden is not dangerously ill. His
condition is such however, that his
physicians and family consider it of
vital importance that he should be re-
lieved at once of any further strain
upon his strength and that complete
rest from all cares is absolutely nee
essary."
The indications point to State Sena-
tor Frank o. Briggs as Mr.. Dryden's
successor, Mr. Briggs has authorized
the statement that he is a candidate
and it is said that he has received as.
surances of the support of a majority
of the Republican members OF the
legislature.
