 tial to Service Arms.

 The president will celebrate his fifty ninth birthday Tuesday. He will be surprised at dinner with great birthday cake, bearing fifty-nine can- dies, which the hotel management to- day ordered the chef to prepare.
 Snow fell here all night last night, covering the ground with moro than d foot. This did not keep the president and his bride from having tneir daily at tomobile ride, however.

 The presidents stenographer, who went to Washington for Chr stmas, re- turned today, bringing a great pack age of letters and messages from the White House. It was said that none of the communications concerned busi- nes. of great importance.
 To night there was meeting in the hotel, held under the auspicies of the Marquis and Marchioness of Aber- deen and addressed by Mrs. Seth Bar ton French, recently returned fron. her Red Cross work in France. The President and Mrs. Wilson declined invitations to attend

 "When I announced several months ago that I would be candidate for the nomination for governor, I did SC at the urgent solicitation of some of my friends, coupled with the belief that I could, if elected, render some service to my native state, but since making this announcement I find that it will be impossible for me to make such a campaign for the office that would be necessary tc. insure suc- cessful outcome, I must, in justice to my friends. myself and family, an nounce my retirement from the con- test.
 My friends have been good ;o me; they have given me every thing of a political nature I have ever asked them for, and I owe them a debt of gratitude I can never repay. My con- stant aim during my public career has been to render faithful service 70 the people, and it has been my pride to re- turn to them the trusts they have sc graciously placed in my hands, as clean and unsullied as when I rcceiv- ed them.
 "It would have been great pleas ure fer me to have served my state as governor, and I may be criticised by some for my action in withdrawing from the race at this time, but feel sure if my friends were acqua ntec with my reasons for taking this course they would commend rather than con- demn.
 With 8 heart full of gratitude for the very many evidences of esteem and confidence which the people If this state have always, by their goot- ness, manifested toward me and which 1 heg to assure you 1 fully appreciate, 1 have the honor tC remain, sincerclJ' and faithfully. John w. Crockett
