JUDGE LANEY
HAS RETIRED
Withdraws From Congress
siona Race Because of
Heavy Expense En-
tailed.

Judge Chas. H Laney has retired
from the race for congress, giving as
his reason that the expense Of such
a campaign promised to be too great
before the contest was finally decided
and that this, coupled with the fact
that he was compelled to neglect his
practice while the campaign was in
progress, led him to withdraw before
any more expense became necessary.
When seen by a Journal represen-
tativ yesterday, Judge Laney talked
freely of the matter, but said he would
tomorrow issue through The Journal a
formal notice of his withdrawal and
an explanation to his friends as to
why decided to retire.
This leaves four candidates in the
