''PUSSY-FOOTED"
SENATOR QUITS
Crane, Seeing Defeat for Re-
election Ahead, Says He
Will Retire.
BY JAMES J. MONTAGUE.

WASHINGTON. May Senator
Crane Of Massachusetts. one Of the
three acknowledged leaders Of the SEN
ate. the richest member of that body
and the one living senator who never
made a speech in his life, has an
nounced that at the end Of his present
term ne will retire from public life for
all time
Senator Crane said Some months
ago definitely decided not to become
Il candidate for re-election. but | in
tended to defer making a statement to
mat effect until after the national con
vention There is, however. propo-
stion pending in the Massachusetts
legislature for the Nomination of
United States senator's by popular
vote. If this proposed law is enacted,
much earlier campaign for this Of
hee will be necessary. and l therefore
make known my position al this time
that those who may be interested in
becoming candidates may have the
fullest opportunity
Cranes defeat for delegate at large
because he stood for Taft in the Mas
sachusetts primaries hurt him deeply
No one doubts he is convinced that he
would not survive the coming senate
rial primaries. Powerful rs he is in the
party he has always curled up under
criticism. And the fusilade OF it that
has been directed at him since he took
personal charge Of the Taft campaign
for recollection has really driven him
out of politics before he ever had real
personal fight
Crane became power in the senate
during his first term. At the retire
ment of Senator Aldrich, he. with PEN
rose of Pennsylvania and Smoot of
Utah, took active command Of the SEN
ate
His methods We're utterly unlike those
Of Aldrich. He never made a speech.
He never issued orders. He never bull
led Silently he fitted in and out of
The chamber and committee rooms,
Whispering suggestions and pointing
out easy ways to get things done. His
still small voice was always for com
promise inside the party, never with
the enemy
From the beginning the progressives
fell the force of his Keen intellect Al
ways from cover he fought them stub
5ornN, and often success fully. They
could seldom trace the opposition he
organized, but they usually suspected
from whence ii came And it is due
TO his stratagems and schemes that
the reactionary forces did not crumble
/ With the retirement Of AIdrich
Crane was dragged into the fight for
I TAFT largely because of his dislike OF
Roosevelt The colonel once called him
/ pussy footed busybody." And Crane
never forgot it.
Crane was bitterly opposed to giving
Massachusetts direct primaries. When
The Roosevelt people started the agita-
tion he sent out orders to head it off.
But the colonel and Senat tor Dixon KEEP.
on bowling that Taft was afraid of an
out-and -out fight and the president
finally persuaded Crane to yield.
Crane was thus made the goat. for
he was beaten for delegate urge.
Since that time he has been pessimistic
about Taft's chances. and month ago
he decided on the step he has now
| taken.
