DOESN'T WANT TO BE SENATOR.
Representative Kent Will Not Be
Candidate, He Declares.

Representative William Kent of
California. republican, in an open
letter to the publishers of the Young
Republican. in Los Angeles, has
made the plain statement that he does
not intend to run for the Senate to sue
coed Senator Works. nor does he wish
to. Senator Works term expires March
3, 1917. and he has announced that he
will not be a candidate for reelection
In his letter. Mr.. Kent said. in part:
II am a candidate for reelection to
the House Of Representatives. 1 would
rather be leader in that body than a
United States senator of average posi-
ton 1t is pleasant to be a considerable
toad in a large puddle. The only reason
why might desire to be a United States
senator would be to avoid the trouble
incident to being elected every two years.
but as. in the present situation. practically
all opposition is removed. so that no
strenuous campaign for reelection is
necessary. this factor loses its weight.
ut might be presumed that I would
have a chance Of being elected if I
wished to make the contest. But I would
not consider making it unless the people
of the state SO generally desired this event
that should receive requests to run and
assurance Of election from all sections
and all parties. which is something that
neither request, nor suggest. nor ex-
