The country has been flooded with
copies of Mr.. Blount's letter of with
drawal from the Senatorial race in 1909,
when Senator Taliaferro and Governor
Broward were candidates. This letter
of Mr.. Blount's is sent out from the
Bryan headquarters, the date being left
off and the caption so worded as TO leave
the impression that Mr.. Blount has with
drawn from the present contest. 1t is a
dirty political trick, which the support
ers of Bryan laugh at when spoken TO
about it, and such methods should be
condemned by every fair-minded man.
Mr.. Blount is in this race TO the finish,
and every man who believes in honest
methods in politics should go TO the
polls and vote for him next Tuesday,

W. A. BIount
Has not withdrawn from
the Race for United
States Senator.

There is being published in
at least one newspaper and by
circulars throughout the State,
a copy of my letter of with
drawal from the Primaries of
the spring of 1910.
This copy in the newspaper,
and | understand in the circu-
lars, is published without the
date (Which was December %,
1909 and would appear to be
my reasons for withdrawing
from the present contest.
The purpose of the pub
LEGATION at this time, in this
manner, is clearly to lead
the voters to believe that
l have withdrawn from
this race and to induce my
supporters either to stay
away from the polls or to
vote for Mr.. Bryan.
1t is of course, not true that
| have withdrawn or intend to
withdraw, but | will be in the
race throughout this primary.
This letter has been talked
of by Mr.. Bryan continuously.
for more than three months
throughout this campaign and
distributed by me throughout
the State.
Why is it at this late
hour printed and distribut-
ed in this manner and in
this misleading way?
What does the voter say
as to this method of con-
Quoting a campaign?

and other officers had deserted them and
left them without enough ammunition
to continue another days fighting.
The Mexican rebels left their American
recruits in the trenches without disclos-
ing their destination. At 3 o'clock this
morning these American insurrectos,
learning that they alone Of Garcia's army
remained, crossed the line to Douglas,
leaving their arms behind.
At o'clock this afternoon rebel scouts
approached from the west and came
close to the Aqua Prieta trenches. The
federal outpOsts sent them scurrying to
the hills with wild volley
There was intense quietude this morn
ing at Aqua Prieta. There was no sign
of celebration or hilarity. Several out
posts parties left at varying times, going
in different directions. Fifty guns picked
up on the battlefield were piled up in
the building along with the other stuff
gathered from the fields and brought
into town.
Gen. O'Keefe, collector of customs of
Arizona, arrived this morning from
headquarters at Nogales. After n con-
ference with him Deputy Collector Mason
announced that the American custom
house in Douglas was again open for
the battle in Aqua Prieta last week.
At a late hour tonight no rebels were
known to be within striking distance of
Aqua Prieta, and another battle is not
expected for some time to come.

STARTER CASSIDY
IN POOR FOR NJ
Send-Offs Have Bearing on
Results at Jamestown.

Norfolk, April 1S.-Starter Cassidy was
in poor form to-day and several of his
send-offs had considerable bearing on the
results. In the Hampton Roads Purse,
he sent Stringer, backed from to to
to 3, away flying, and this enabled him
to win, where, with a good break, Mex
oana and Bosom would have both beaten
him. In the fifth Danfield got away rum
ming and he beat Seymour Beutler out
half a length in a hard drive, with the
best horse in the race, Baby Wolf, half
a length farther back.
The stewards did not like McCabe's s
handling of Bosom in the race won by
Stringer and they announced that he was
suspended pending an investigation.
Bosom caught and passed Stringer on
the far turn and in the stretch appeared
to have the race won, but McCabe' s
efforts from there home We're rather
weak. August Belmont's filly Dragnet
won the third straight race of the meet
ing in easy fashion.
Form players again did well, as five of
the events were won by favorites or
second choices. In the hurdle race, Usage
would have won easily but for an acci-
dent in making the turn into the stretch.
He was then closing with a rush, when
he crossed his legs and fell. The sum-
maries:

cess of the project may be announced as
assured While the names of the signers
of the cards so far returned to Mr.. Sle-
man have not been made public, it is
known that Board of Trade members
have been well represented. OF the 5ll
answers far received, Board of Trade
members are believed to have sent in
nearly half.
William F. Guide. former president of
the Chamber of Commerce and now di-
rector of both bodies. who made the
first public announcement OF the move
ment about ten days ago, will be one of
the hardest workers for the success of
the project.
Il have been in favor of the amalsa-
nation ever since the Chamber of Com
merce was organized. said Mr.. GUIDE
yesterday. Il was sorry when the old
Business Mems Association. which
merged with the jobbers and shippers
into the Chamber of Commerce, was
made necessary.
Since that action was necessary. how
ever. conditions have changed, and the
time has now come for the formation
of one large organization in which the
people can choose their representatives
by popular election and make possible
the attainment of the greatest good for
the greatest number
Work Might Be Divided.
W. H. Saunders who is a member OF
both organizations and a director of the
Board of Trade. thinks a programme of
endeavor can be worked out by the two
organizations individually, by which
amalgamation will not be necessary in
order to prevent duplication Of work.
The Board OF Trade was organized,
primarily. for the purpose of promoting
the civic betterment of Washington. 1t
has been performing its functions along
those lines. although at times it has taken
up questions relating to measures of a
different character.
Il believe if the Chamber of Commerce,
which was organized primarily to pro-
mote the business and industrial Interests
of Washington, to bring in outside trade
and to work for the improvement of
business conditions generally. would come
to an understanding with the Board of
Trade bx which the work which pri
MAJ ariy belongs to one or the other or
gan;zation would he left to that body.
it would be a much better plan in work
ing out the future good of the city than
the proposed amalgamatiOn.
There has been at times, since the
Chamber of Commerce and Board of
Trade have existed, great difficulty along
the lines l have referred to. There has
been no policy by which the proper body
should initiate a movement to be sec
orded by the other. There has been no
after cooperation, and sometimes there
has been conflict. If the present condi-
ton of affairs must obtain. il will not be
we'll to continue as separate bodies. But
they ought to get together by remaining
apart and cooperating. l believe that
both should work in their respective
spheres for the best interests of the
city"
