MADDEN NOT A CANDIDATE.
Crockett Man Will Not Seek Place In
the State Senate.

HOn j. W. Madden at his law, office
today and upon his being asked what,
if anything, he had decided to do with
regard to the senatorial race in this
senatorial district, Mr. Madden said:
1T is probable that 1 should have
given out statement about that
matter before now, but l have been
engaged in the trial of cases in our
county court every day since my re-
turn from the prohibition conference
held at Palestine last Tuesday, the
9Th instant, and for that reason
have, not had the time to prepare a
statement upon the subject. l will
state now, however, that l shall not
be candidate for the senate to fill
the uneXpired term of Senator Stokes,
deceased. 1t was never my intention
to enter the race if circumstances de-
veloped such as to make it necessary
to go into a scramble for the place,
but | am confronted with a situation
the exact opposite of what l had
hoped might ultimately present itself
We all know there is no money in
the office and for me to fill it under
any circumstances would be at very
heavy financial sacrifice. At the same
time it is a position of no inconsider-
able honor and one in which the oc-
cupant can make himself quite useful
to his constituency. 1t would be con-
siderations of this kind and this only
that would be any inducement what
ever to me to seek the office. But
aside from all this and on account of
the complications that have arisen
and for other causes which l shall
state, l will not be in the race"
