Present Term and Remove From
Abba to Des Mones and En-

| Washington, d. c.. Aug, .7;--Repre-
sentative N. e. Kendall made formal
announcement late last evening that
he would decline a reelection for con-
gress in the Sixth district. He sent a
letter to Secretary of State Hayward
to this effect. Mr.. Kendall in a brief
statement said he was compelled by
election" The statement further said
he was suffering very serious heart
difficulty" and had been ordered by
his physician to avoid severe labor.
While Kendall puts his deClinatiOn
ION the ground of i'll health there was
disposition in many quarters here to
lasCribe it to political reasons rather
than reasons of i'll health and take
the view that Mr. Kendall either fear
ed defeat at the polls or knew if he
won 1t would be at the expense of the
hardest kind of a fight. The opinion,
however, was expressed by some of
the members of the delegation that
Mr.. Kendall would have won had he
remained in the race. One factor in
the situation Is that some of the
standpatters in the Sixth district re-
Gently have been stirred up because
Mr.. Kendall did not attend the Motif
cation at the White House for Presi
dent Taft a short time ago.
1t was learned last night that Mr.
Kendal's decision not to run did not
come as a surprise to his colleagues
IOf the Iowa delegation. He has talked
to some of them about it recently and
has said he would not make the race.
One of the plans he has in mind for
the future is to go to Des Moines and
enter the law business there.
The fact that Mr.. Kendall has de-
Iclined to run means the district COM
mittee will select some one to make
the race. Tom Bray, of Grinnell is
one of those suggested. Mr.. Kendall
has, ever since his election to con-
gress, been in a difficult position
Chosen as progressive, he was in a
district with a powerful standpat ele-
ment. The result has been that he
has fallen under the necessity of try.
ing to avoid giving offense to either
the progressive or standpat element
This year the situation is more diff
