drew after a meeting OF the executive
committee of the United CoIored Repub-

date for President; both tickets are look
ing Tor support TO citizens whose senti-
ments are identical: both tickets repre-
sent identical principals in matters Of
governmental policy
In view Of these acknowledged facts.
a further continuance Of this contest
seems not only unnecessary, but mex

triotism, and the surest test of devotion
10 the party which We all love. can
be best manifested by what is a personal
self-sacrifice. We therefore, deem 1t our
duty TO our party, to the candidate for
the Presidency, whom we all honor and
support, and TO ourselves. to withdraw
from the contest We therefore request
you. most respectfully 70 withdraw our

present of Sl.0o0. and in making a loan OF
$500 from men who had been doing busi-
ness with the District, but there was
nothing legally wrong in the transac-
tions.
I have been made the scapegoat for
/ another end"
Asked to explain what the end was, Mr..
| Fernald said.
why should I issue a statement7 MY
/ friends know I am not guilty OF any
wrongdOing and what does II matter 10
me what others think. I am the victim
/ Of an unwarranted piece of treachery by
a man who has always been my friend.
/ In accepting this 1.000, I did so be-
/ cause it was pressed on me by Mr..
! Wainwright, who ] had assisted in a pro-
fessionai way, both through friendship
and with the desire that the work be
quickly and satisfactorily completed that
the District might be the gamer.
! Il accepted the loan from Mr.. Brennan
without once giving thought 10 the fact
/ that he was a member of a company
doing business with the District. I ac-
cepted the loan from one l looked upon
as a friend, and am paying 5 per cent in
terest on Il.
Il have nothing to say about Mat.
Morrow's decision. ! feel that he knows
I meant no harm by my acceptance of the
gift. and the loan. He Is a fair-minded,
honorable and just man. and did his duty
only as his conscience dictated.
Il feel there will never be found a bet
ter set Of men than are In the engineer
ing department. And no matter what
found they are honorable in all their
transactions
I have been advised to tell all knew
about these charges against me. It would
be retaliatlng in the same manner as
was treated. I shall not do so. 1 can
secure a position that will compensate
me as well as the one in the District gov
ernment and shall not tell all that 1
can. AS I said, 1 believe Mai Morrow
acted as he thought best. and have not
the least complaint to make against HIM
a Wrong Interpretation,
THE only thing I feel sorry for. is the
wrong Interpretation that will be taken
on Mr.. Wainwright's gift. He gave IT to
me for my advice, and I did not get it
until the work on the tunnel had been
completed. 1t was surprise TO me,
and I did not want to take It. at first.
When he pressed it on me- accepted It.
He did not gain anything by making the
gift and only did so out of appreciation
of my advice.
Mr.. Fernald is forty-one years old. For
a short time he was general manager of
the Brennan Construction Company. of
which concern. P. J. Brennan, who pre-
ferred the charges, is the head.
Further Investigation.
Among the matters being investigated
by Commissioner Morrow is how $25, 600
contract has been allowed 20 extend, so
that the firm did s1SS.0O0 worth OF work on
one contract, without there being any ad-
veTtising.
This matter. together with certain
charges that, It is reported, Will be pre-
sented with affidavits. Will be considered
by Commissioner Morrow.
Whatever disclosures have been made
are known only to Commissioner Morrow.
He is sitting the matter thoroughly and
is determined to probe the affair and re-
veal the facts disclosed.

This was movd by the venerable Davis
Cross, of Manchester Nearly the whole

the platform resolution against express
ing any preference was adopted unani-

Judge Cross chose to mention the can
didates, and began with Hughes. when
applause for Hughes broke out and was
prolonged for several minutes. When he
mentioned Taft, there was applause. not

WATTERSON TO AID BRYAN.
New York SpecuIates on Changed
Conditions in Kentucky.

New York. April A.-''What in the world
is Marse Watterson, of Kentucky, up tor"
was the question asked by influential ma
tionaI Democrats tonight. The frequent
consultations between Bryan and Waiter
son brought out this question. Well
known Kentucky men in town said they
believed that under Bryan's influence
Watterson might eventually turn as the
Bryan leader of the Blue Grass State.
This would be a funny situation. for
Bryan was for Beckham, while Watterson
was anti-Beckham; and perhaps it was
due more to Wattersoh's influence than
10 any other man that Beckham was de-
feated for the United States Senate, and
W. O. Bradley. a Republican elected.
