LETTERS FROM THE PEOPLE
Withdrawal of Senator James T.. Ken

County Ticket.
To the Editor of the Free Press:

Through your columns | wish to reach
the voters Of Chittcndcn county in an
nouncing that l am nor 70 be candi-
date for the Senate and that I have re-
quested County Clerk Russell not topper
nit my name to appear on the ticket.
Before the democratic convention | was
urged to be n candidate for the Senate,
and I reluctantly allowed my nomination
to take place without opposition, al
though at that time | had not convinced
myself that 1t was my ambition to again
represent my constituents in the Senate
Since the convention ] have given the
matter duo thought and consideration
and have concluded that | will remain
out OF politics this year. In taking this
action feel that criticism viii be made
but / assure my own friends in my own
party and my friends in the Republican
party, and there are many Of them, that
am acting wisely in deciding to with
draw from the field
My sole reason for withdrawing my
name from the ticket is that my bust
ness affairs demand my constant at
tention through the month of August and
prevent me from making vigorous and
winning campaign. To remain an inactive
candidate Is not my makeup. To neglect
my business would not be practical. l
have decided. in this instance. to be prac-
teal
! wish it understood by all Interested
that no Influence has been brought TO
bear, other than the one Of business
have mentioned, to cause me to take
this action.
trust l am not discommoding the dem
ocratic county committee and sincerely
hope 1t Will DO an easy matter to find
a man willing to accept the nomination
who will be OF spirit to go after the Of
flee fun of fight and with Il determination

ARE CAUGHT

Enid, Okla, Dec. 6.--With the ar
rest Of Mrs. w M Black in San An
tonic, soldier who was with her,
and information which will probably
result in the arrest of G. w. WillSer-
son, former cattle buyer of Fair
view, the Oklahoma Bankers associa-
tion has been successful in a general
search for Wilkerson for the last three
weeks and has saved the Farmers &
Merchants bank Of Fairyiew from
paying forged certificate Of deposit
for $4,000
Wilkerson, il is said, forged the GER
iificate OF deposit and obtained 5000 in
cash from the Fairview bank The
certificate of deposit was made payable
to Mrs. w. NJ. Black. Almost imme-
diately it was learned that the certi-
ficate was a forgery. The general Of
fee Of the Oklahoma State Bankers
association, which is located in this
city, was notified. Every bank on this
side Of the Ohio river was Immediately
notified of the forgery, with instruc-
tions to cause the arrest Of the per-
son presenting the check.
That was three weeks ago. Nothing
more was heard Of the certificate un-
til Secretary Harrison received a tele-
gram that Mrs. w. H. Black had pre-
served the certificate at the Lockridge
National bank of San Antonio for pay
ment. The dispatch which came from
J. w. Hopes, secretary of the Texas
association, stated that both Mrs,
Black and a soldier who identified her
had been arrested.
Secretary Harrison Immediately
wired to hold them until the arrival
of an officer who could complete iden-
tifcation, and in the meantime to at
tempt to secure from Mrs. Black some
clue as to the whereabouts Of Wilker-
son. From her it was learned that he
is either in DreSter Mo, or in Calves
ton, Texas.
Sheriff Geo. A. Macarthur Of Walton
ga, the original offense having taken
place in Canton. Blaine county, left
yesterday for San Antonio, where he
will take custody Of Mrs. Black. 1t i
believed that Wilkerson will be cap
tured within twenty-four hours.
