GOV. FOSS DECLINES
TO RUN FOR OFFICE
Massachusetts Magistrate Sees Great
Democratic Triumph in New Eng
land and in Entire Coun-
try.

Boston, April Ex-Governor Foss has
declined to permit the use of his name
as a candidate for the Democratic presi-
deEtial nomination on the statewide pri-
mary ballots in Rhode Island. In let
ter to Peter j. Gaskin, secretary of the
Rhode Island Democratic state central
corcmittee, made public last night, Gov
ernor Foss refers to his removal of his
name from the presidential preference
ballots in Massachusetts because GER
tain other candidates proposed to with
draw their names out of courtesy to the
governor, and says:
Under these circumstances, | cannot
veIy well accede to the courteous re-
quest of the Rhode Island committee.
A place on the primary ballots proper

for various reasons, | have not cared to

affairs primarily as business man and
manufacturer whose experience had
forced upon him the conviction that the
prevailing policies upon commercial and
Industrial matters were neither wise
nor just. During the past ten years,
| have pursued the single object of
bringing about downward revision of
the tariff and the adoption OF the pol
icy of commercial reciprocity.
In this stronghold of the high tariff
system, the people have endorsed these
views in three successive compagns.
1T is the right of the Democratic
party to hope in the next election for
the support of Republicans, aggregatng
hundreds of thousands in all the states
and congressional districts OF the coun-
try, who believe in a sane aud Just re-
adjustment of the tariff upon Demo
cratic lines.
Il urge you, therefore, to devote the
chief planks of your platform to these
policies and to work for their adoption
at Baltimore. If this position prevails,
then, whatever candidate is nominated,
provided that he stands before the vot
erS as the embodiment Of these pol
iciea, he will be elected and the Demo
cratic party will triumph in New Eng
land and in every section of the coun-
try and the victory will be worth
while"
