FORMAL STATEMENT BY

Deadwood, S. D., Jan. 2.-Following
the news announcement of a few weeks
ago that Congressman E. w Martin
would retire from office at the expira-
ton of his present term, a formal an
nouncement has just been given out
here by the congressman confirming
the situation. He says in part:
For W years or more 1 have con-
sidered I ought to retire from public
life at the close Of my present con-
gressional term, March 4, 1915; this
impression has been accentuated dur
ing the last few months by an expert
ence Of invalidism, which, however. I
hope will prove but temporary.
Whenever approached upon this
subject, either in person or by letter,
for now several months I have frankly
stated my position; it has not occurred
to me that 1t was necessary and / a
not assumed that h people Of the
state would expect me to make a for
NAL statement for publication.
The cordial and dependable political
support which I have received from all
parts OF the state during my seven
terms in congress a been most graf
flying and is h basis of some Of this
most pleasant recollections h a I will
carry with me into private life.
II will e-.joy the life of a private cit
izen; I expect to retain my interest In
public men and measures and to par
ticipate as actively as I may in the
solution of public problems.
1T is my conviction that the repub-
lican principles and policies must DOM
mate the management of national ana
state affairs in the uture as they have
In the past, and hat the republican,
party must assume q vigorous and able
leadership in the solution of the great
national problems that are now up for
determination. Some time I may ask
the people of the state to consider some
convictions which I have along These
lines. but this is not necessary and
hardly appropriate at this time"
