CASTOR QUITS RACE
Announces Withdrawal OF Candi-
dacy for Senate from bay state.

Boston, Dec. a-Col William A. Gas
ton late this afternoon announced his
withdrawal as a Democratic candidate
for the United States Senate. He says
in a statement that a large majority of
the Democratic members-eIect sent him
word that they favored a party caucus
and his nomination.
Since that time continues Col Gas
ton. owing to differences of opinion
among members of the Democratic party
as to the wisdom of a party caucus 10
Democratic strength on a Democratic
candidate, and owing to the be-
lief Of some Of the prominent mem
bers Of the party that the Democrats
should encourage the candidacy of some
progressive Republican. l have come 10
the conclusion that under these condi-
lions no Democrat can be elected TO that
high Office. In order to simplify the sit
uatian and to cause no embarrassment
to the governor-elect in his campaign
against Mr.. Lodge, take this oppor-
tunity TO announce my withdrawal from
the Senatorial contest"

SPECIAL MESSAGE
In BOUNDARY CASE
Senate Passes Bill on Re-
quest of the President.

President Taft sent special message
to Congress yesterday, urging the pas
sage of joint resolution to reaftirm the
boundary lines between Texas and New
Mexico. as fixed by Congress in 1850.
and by survey in 1855 The Territory of
New Mexico. in its proposed new con-
stitution, has set forth her boundaries
in such a way as to encroach upon a
strip of land about 800 miles long. which
Texas claims as her territory.
Senator Hepburn. of Idaho. appeared
in the closing hours OF the session in
his favorite role OF obstructionist When
Senator Culberson. of Texas. tried to
have the Senate carry out the spirit Of
the Presidents special message on the
boundary dispute between Texas and
New Mexico, by passing a resolution
that the Judiciary Committee had re-
ported, embOdying the Presidents recon-
mendations. Senator Hepburn objected to
the request for unanimous consent
for its consideration. Thereupon Mr.
Culberson moved to take up the meas
ure, and his motion prevailed, the vote
showing a bare quorum present for bust
ness. Senator Hepburn did not like the
"-s 40 -e--S - - a.'Ai t'i'i-
aside, and took the floor 20 talk against
the bill
II know of no reason" observed Mr..
Hepburn, ''why this measure should be
rushed through to-day. except that when
a Senator hears the steam whistle blow
he must get off the track or be run over
by the steam roller"
But the Idaho Senator had not talked
long until Senator Burkett crept over
alongside and was seen 20 plead with
him. Soon afterward Mr. Hepburn
ceased talking and the bin passed.

This seemed TO me to be too short
time. The testimony covers 74S pages
and the briefs many more"
Senator Beverage added that after
using all possible diligence he not only
had not been able 10 master the testi-
mony and the briefs m the time allotted,
but he had not succeeded even IN in
vestigating them carefully. He therefore
did not feel able to vote for the report.
I reserve the right said the Senator
from Indiana TO concur in or dissent
from the present report or 10 file a mi
norfty report
Senator Beveridge's action Is taken as a
pretty certain indication that there win
be opposition on the floor OF the Senate
TO the majority report and that the
Lorimer charges will have a full airing
before that body.
Senator Frazier, OF Tennessee, the Dem
ocratc member Of the committee who
refused TO sign the majority report, holds
in an informal minority report, which be
made 20 the fun Committee on Privileges
and Elections, that there were at least
seven tainted votes in the Illinois legisla-
ture, and that with these eliminated Sena-
tor Lorimer lacked one Of a majority Of
the votes cast.
The testimony taken by the commit
tee" says Senator Frazier. satisfies ne
that four members OF the legislature were
paid money for voting for or in conse-
quence OF having voted for Senator Lori
mer. One senator and three representa-
tves admitted under oath before the com
mittee that they were paid money. and
their admissions and the facts and cir
cumstances surrounding the transactions
satisfy me thar they received il as a
bride for or in consequence OF their votes
