JACKSON NOT TO !
ENTER SENATORIAL RiCF {.
Gives Out Statement That His
Large Business Interests Will lie
mand His Entire Time at Present
And in The Near Future.

Former Senator William P. JadE,
son announced yesterday that /
had determined not to be a cand
date for the Republican nominatip
for United States Senator in "
coming September primary. III

business at this time are such tb(a
he is unable to make the sacriffe
of time necessary.
! 1t is assumed, of course, that f4o
the same reasons he will not nov
consider the Republican nomination
for Congress in the First district, #
| indeed, he ever has considered. thai
matter seriously.
About the same time that Mr.
Jackson's secretary, Amos Wood
cock, handed his chiefs formal
statement to The Sun correspondent
in Washington, Edward C. Caring
ton, Jr., the Bull Moose leader in
the Presidential primary and eIei2-
ton of 1912, and the leader of tile
matchmaking element Of Bull Noes
ers last year, gave out a statemetlt
in Baltimore that he would be "a
candidate for the Republican Sena-
torial nomina ton. Mr.. Darlington
expected a declination from Mr..
Jackson, but did not know that it
would come so soon.
The elimination of Jackson from
the situation and the entrance of
Darlington are calculated to emf
barrass the old-line Republican lead
ers. They either must hunt around
and get a man to fight Darlington
or they must allow him to take the
Lead in the coming fight, with a
consequent augmentation of pres
tige for the erstwhile boilers. j
will not be easy to do the former,
and it will not be pleasant to ac-
cept the latter.
Should it so happen that CARING
ton wins the Republican nomination,
the stalwart Bull Mooserst may be
embarras sed, too. Charles j. Bona
parte and State Chairman J. Stuart
Macdonald have notified Darlington
that they will not support him or
any other amalgamator. But it is
we'll known that a considerable part
of the stalwart element expect and
hope that Roosevelt will be the
Presidential candidate of the Re
publican party in 1916.
Darlington can be depended upon
TO press home the question, Why
the difference betwesp Roosevelt
for President on ss Republican
ticket and Darlington for Senator on
the Republican ticket?
Mr.. Jackson's statement is as
follows:
For the past few months there
have been repeated rumors that
intended to be a candidate for the
Senate in the coming elections. IN
the past few weeks the pape2f haze
even printed what were su3a -
to be 4 - cond lions. th;t r;G11
fluence my decisf0l
to say that 1 haVe~ p
sponsible for these stoN y
are for the most part, l :,
the creations of the political
ers' minds. Some have been in
spired, obviously, by interests hos
tile to the Republican party. But
the matter has gone so far that it
is fitting that I should now break
my silence and make. further specu-
lation as to my Intentions anneoes-
sary.
ut is true that l have been con-
sidering the possibility of entering
the race; for members of the party
from ali sections of the State and
representing every shade of politi-
cal belief have repeatedly urged
me to be a candidate. In fairness
to them, if for no other reason, |
had to give their views careful con-
sheraton 1 have earnestly pom
dered the question whether I could
afford to make the sacrifice of time
and energy to make the fight which
they assured me would be for the
party's good. These offers of sup
port have been so spontaneous and
have come from so many different
quarters that they might very well
cause any man serious thought as
we'll as sincere qualification.
Nevertheless, / have definitely
determined not to be a candidate.
The demands of my business are
increasing. l was compelled to ne
glect these interests while l was
in the Senate, and l cheerfully made
the sacrifice fer what / regarded as
MY public duty. But conditions
have arisen which make it imDos-
sible for me to separate myself
further from active participation in
the direction of these interests in
whose prosperity so many are int
timateiy concerned.
"These conditions are, first, the
general depression which I attribute
to the new tariff and the fatal att
titude CT the Administration toward
business, and, second, the continur
ed i'll health of my father, which
makes it imperative that the major
portion of my time be devoted to
the company of which he is presit
dent. If l should be elected, 1
should feel that my first obligation
was the discharge of the public
business; and even the political
campaign would make larger DEF
mards upon me than these intert
ests, which in view of the twd
above conditions have the prioi
claim, will permit.
