withdraw from the Senatorial contest
and abiure the supreme fruits of the
victory which he has won. in favor OF
another candidate who, DR.. Wilson is
persuaded. is preferred by the majority
of the Democratic voters and of the
people of the state. and has logical
and moral title TO the support of all
Democratic legislators.
This other candidate Is Mr.. MARITIME,
commonly known as the Farmer

being active IN politics during per1od
of hopeless Republican ascendency IN
thc state, has probably been beaten for
a greater number and variety of offices
than anv other man now eXtant.
His title 20 he regarded as the regular
Democratic candidate for the Senator
ship rests chiefly upon two ctrcum
stances. One is that at the last election
for Senator. when the Legislature was
strongly Republican. he was the unanl-
nous choice of the Democratic minority
for their complimentary vote, ana ne
insists hat If he was good enough to be
voted for when he couldn't be elected he
il good enough TO he voted for now that
a Democrat can he elected. The other
is that at the primaries of last Septem-
her voters we're invited and urged to eX-
press on their ballots their preferences
for Senator. and that more than 4S.oo
Democrats thus expressed their desire
for Mr.. Marines election, as against
only mere handful fer any other can
di6afe. OF course 5000 were scarcely
one-fnurth of the Democratic voters Of
the state. as indicated in the preceding
Governorship election. and scarcely one
