NOT A CANDIDATE.
Ex-Governor VIM. 7. Cobb
Makes Announcement.
Is Not in Contest for United
States SenatorshIp.
Says His Reasons for Not Entering
Are Purely Personal.

Rockland, Me-. Jan. 29.-Former
Governor William 7. Cobb announced,
today, that he will not be candidate
before the primaries fer the Republic
can nomination for United States SEN
atof.
Because of the fact that he entered
the contest two years ago, a contest
made futile by the political overturn
in this State. it was taken for granted
by many of his supporters that he
would again enter the lists under the
new primaries law.
My reasons for not entering the
contest are purely personal said Mr.
Cobb. 4 have received many requests
to become a candidate and many offers
of support for all of which I am ex-
tremely grateful In justice to these
friends | feel that / should no longer
defer my decision. In arriving at that
deeisionI am no wise influenced by
political conditions or prospects. A
man who would go into a political
contest only on assurance of victory
is coward and 1 do not believe | am
open to that accusation from the vot-
ers of Maine.
I have considered the matter very
carefully and personal reasons for not
wishing to enter the canvass have

National House Is Doing
But Little Business.
InCompetency TO Dispatch Public
Business Seems Apparent.
Leaders Said to Be Vexed with vari-
Gus Abstruse Problems.

Washington, d. c., Jan. 6.-(Spe-
ciaD. democratic incompetency to
dispatch public business seems to be
cropping out in the National House.
The wheels there have ceased to turn.
Somewhere there is block. The fine
talk of few weeks ago that Speaker
Clark would do business under whip
and spur is wildly recalled, while the
House loafs along in a fashion that
outdoes the leisure Senate.
And nobody is holding our Demo-
cratic friends They can vote this and
that up or down, if they wish. There
is their majority of 66-odd and the
House rules which brook no perma-
nent interference. No legislative ma
chinery in the world was ever devised,
which moves with such accuracy tow
ard finality, when it is set in mo-
ton, as the legislative machinery of
the National House. Nevertheless
business is not transacted. The pro-
ceedings are palsied and forth to the
country goes the word that probably
it will be August or September before
Congress will adjourn.
BE that as it may, it strikes terror
to lot of men who want to get back
into their districts early. There are
going to be feverish times at cam
paigning before the next President
the next House of Representative and
the next Senate have been elected AS
the Presidency goes SO will go the
House and the Senate this year, no
matter what the quibblers and the
argument men may say about posi-
bilities.
Much inquiry there has been as to
reasons for this change that has come
over the spirit Of the Democratic
brethren. Some claim it is because
number of the more fractions have
gotten out of hand The leaders, not
ing disposition on the part of indie
pendent and radical Democratic men,

undoubtedly been holding back and
trying to tame these ferocious ones

GERS used their clubs freely. but made
little impression on the crowd until the
troops arrived.
The militia came on the rush down
through the street with bayouets fixed.
There was a perceptibe giving away of
the rioters and the mob began to retreat
and scatter. Upon coming mp with the
leaders of the crowd who seemed deter
mined to stand their ground, the militia
men raised their rifle butts up and club
bed the crowd until it scattered. Two of
the soldiers broke their rifles in two over
the heads of the mob and it is believed
many of the rioters were badly hurt.
Neither the police nor the militiamen
fired any shots. The rioters who were
