Hon. I. C. McRae Withdraws
 from the Race for Governor
TO THE DEMOCRATIC
 VOTERS OF ARKANSAS

In announcing my withdrawal from the race for Governor, do so with the firm belief that 1 would be nominated by a good majority of you if 1 could meet and discuss with you the neces- sity for retrenchment and re- form in the administration of the States affairs and then could get a correct return upon your bal lots.
 The reasons that impel me to withdraw are these:
 1. Such a personal canvass as is insisted upon by those of my friends who believe in that meth cd of campaigning is, fear, be- yond my strength. I would pre- fer this method, but the effect of my recent illness suggests to me that I should not undertake it in mid-winter.
 2. The other method of get ting my views before you is by letter and addresses published in pamphlets or in newspapers, or both, but you cannot all be reach ed in this way, and the other necessary expenses met, without exceeding the limit nxed by the Act of April 2, 1913. $5,000 is as much as I am able to spend, and 1 make no complaint of this limit, but 1 believe in obeying and enforcing all the laws, and if were financially able to exceed the limit, I would not violate my pledge not to do so for the nomi- nation. It has been my desire to use the newspapers, but their rates are prohibitive when con- sidered in connection with the le- gal limit upon expenditures.
 3. My fight is in your behalf. It is the unorganized people against an organized official and political machine that has long existed and has already accom- plished a practical destruction of elections by the people. The in- crease of the selfish evil infuen- ces in the hands of State officials who have the power to select and to appoint Election Commis- sioners, in connection with pat ronage, pardons and printing backed up by the party machin- cry have in the past emboldened and enabled them to repeatedly defeat your will. There is every indication that the bosses and ringsters do not intend that

The veterans hammered drink hard
during their talks, and called the
names of many cities which had de-
bauched some Of the old veterans who
had attended, one member present
saying that he visited one OF the hos
pitfalls in one reunion in a city where
whiskey was sold and had found that
practically all cases Of Sickness
there being many such cases. were
not really sickness of the ordinary
type at all. but were due directly and
entirely to whiskey, while some deaths
had resulted from the same cause
J. r Rogers said that he had at
tended the reunion in Birmingham
eight years ago and again This year,
and there had been no extortion then
or this time. He saw no drunken
ness this time. and thought that this
was one of the most desirable fea-
lures OF the gathering, and that it
was mighty hard to get anything to
drink there. He gave instances Of
other reunions where whiskey had
been easy to get, and told of the bad
effects on many OF the veterans who
were addicted to the use Of it. In
his opinion II was a nne thing to hold
the reunions where II could not be
had at all. Mr.. Rogers said that sew
eral places had made up money to
send tho old veterans to the reunions,
and that those who were here would
be looked after next time through
