COL. l. M. ULLMAN
 C. 0. p. LEADER IN NEW HAVEN RETIRES
For Many Years He Has Been Director General of Republi- can Forces in Elm City

New Haven, Nov. 5-Col Isaac M. Ulln1an, for many years known as the Republican leader of the party in New Haven, announced in a printed and signed statement today his retirement from the active field of politics. The result of today's elections, he says. will make no difference. His health personal interests are given the reason for his action. He will con- tinue as president of the Chamber of Commerce until his term of office ex- pires. To the Editor of The Farmer:
 -Sir-Carrying into effect determin- days election marks my withdrawal from the field of active political work The result of the election, whatever it may be, will have no effect upon many years I have ta@een 8. deep dn- terest in political affairs, for I have always believed, and still believe, and now more firmly than ever, that It IS the imperative duty of every citizen to do his part not only in the pre- hfninary work incidental to the norrd- after all, is the important work. for it is easier, at times, to prevent bad and undesirable nomination than it is to defeat a candidate when nom mated, but in the necessary work succeeding nlonlinatfons and on eiec- ton day.
 At the beginning or my S5CT1V0 1nU0F- est in political life of the community. my business interests were such that I could give the time needed to it. without much personal sacrifice. As tirne however, went on my interests became greater and the business with which I am connected expended great ly. With the growth of my personal interests, more time was actually de- manded of me in political ways, with the result that I have not given to those interests that time which they
 .s-1I, %< associates in business to give to them
 Recognizing, however, that every citizen of this country should be will ing1to pay. some price for the l1bsr I have thus made did not. in them selves, influence me to make the de cision which I have already announc- ed 1t was a greater and more inn portant reason than that. It was no less than the warning cry of Nature to the man who forgetsthat he IS, ak ter all, human, and that there Is, therefore, an end ito human endurance, and limit to the burdens that he can s2reeessfully cary +1e It neea1e @ simply I,,prs to myself and to my family, or to the public.
 Having. for many years, given up party, k felt that I should remember self before it was too late! And the reason which thus months ago influ- enced me in the step that I am now taking. has grown with increasing force My business interests are ever growing My capacity for work can- not. in the nature of things, grow While have thus decided to retire as a worker in the field of active poll tics, I shall still, at tbe urgent request of some of our most pubnc-spirited men continue in the office of presi- dent of the Chamber of Commerce, until the end of my term, endeavortng. to the man who forgets that he is, af-. tio1- of those matters of local interest and concern which so largely affect the general welfare of our community ean4d its people.
 Tn my years of political activity. I have met and been associated with many true, loyal and dear friends, and to them, in thus taking leave Of them as an associate worker, desire to ex press my sincere and everlasting thanks.
 ISAAC M. ULLMAN.
