TO RETIRE
From Public Life is Judge
Manson at the End Of
His Term.

FAlRMoNT, April est will
generally be remembered that Judge
John w. Mason was strongly impor-
tuned to be candidate for the Re-
publican nomination for governor in
1908. In fact, there is no doubt that
he might have had the nomination
II he had agreed to take it. With
this in mind, reporter asked Judge
Mason If he would consider being
a candidate in 1912. His reply was:
1T is my intention to retire from
public life The public has dealt
very generously and kindly by me,
and have no ambitions other than
to rest in peace and to continue
quietly such work as may come to
me in the practice of my profession.
Nothing but a call which seemed TO
make it imperative upon me as a
good citizen would induce me to be
a candidate for Office. do not think
that such call is likely TO come,
and certainly do not hope for or
anticipate one"
