Members OF His Family, Who

John Sharp Williams has declined the
Presidency. The industrious booming Of
him throughout the South. and even the
enthusiastic Endorsement by Chairman
Griggs, fail to move him.
Within the past few days this Southern
booming has reached the National Capital
and considerable talk Of Williams FOR
President has developed here. He appreci-
ates the honor offered him by his boom
ers but he cannot accept it.
7 scarcely deem IL necessary at this
time 10 issue a formal statement of
declinauon." he said To a washington
Herald reporter yesterday, but you may
say for me and by my authority that ]
am not taking any steps Whatever toward
securing the Presidency. The fact IS, you
may say that have decided not 70 take
the place"
Mr.. Williams was seated IN the parl0r Of
the house on Vermont avenue where he
boards, and where he is ever ready for a
chat with his friends and. sometimes. with
reporters. He raised his big spectaCles
from the point Of his nose. placed them
high up on his forehead. and. drawing his
ment beneath his deep gray eyes, he gave
his reasons in his slow and solemn crawl

an idea OF accepting this place" he said
FOR ] believe il Is about time for some
returning sanity in the neigh borhood Of
the White, House. But as you know. I am
man Of family. and we have several
small children. Mrs. Williams and I have
talked the matter over, and it is her
opinion that the atmosphere Of the White
House is too damp. Some OF the children
might take cold So out Of Difference 10
Mrs. Williams I have decided not 10 take
the place"
But what viii your friends think Of
this?' was asked. Some one mentioned
Charlie Edwards, the minority commit
tees secretary, and the secretary of the
Democratic Congressional Committee
We'll, when I was In mind 10 accept
the place" he replied. again rubbing his
eyes. II tried to get Charlie TO oppose
me, so that I might have some chance OF
election; but since ] have decided not 20
take il on account Of the dampness Of the
White House, I am letting Charlie sup
port me"
The Democratic leader seems inex0ra-
bic. As he walked halfway down the
steps. ne turned 70 the reporter, looking
over his spectacles and, pointing his finger
in the way so we'll known in the House
Of Representatives, said
