JOE SULLIVAN NOT
In COMING BATTLE
Well Known Cripple, Re
ferred to as Probable
Candidate, Declines to
Run for Sec'y of State.

Little Rock, Sept. 10.-A letter
received from Joe F. Sullivan, for
mer mayor of Imboden, later en-
gagged in newspaper work at Heber
Springs, says that he will not be
candidate for secretary of state,
as he had announced.
His letter was written from De-
troit and he had just crossed over
from Canada to mail his letter be-
cause of the strictness of the Cana
dian authorities in allowing mail to
cross the border.
Mr.. Sullivan, who is paralytic
and unable to walk, and who gets
about in a little wagon drawn by a
team of goats, is in Canada writ
ing articles on war conditions in
the Dominion. He says he will re-
main in Canada all winter to con-
tinue this work. He has attracted
considerable attention by his news
paper articles and his book, in
which he makes an earnest plea for
special training for cripples.
