FOR CONGRESSMAN

To the People o fthe Third Congress
sIana! Distri,;.:
In view of the fact that national
affairs have assumed such shape that
military matters will probably COM
man the paramount attention of Con-
gress for this and the coming ses-
sion, / will not be a candidate for
Congress at this time. This is due
to the fact that the issues for which
| stand-the repeal of the fifteenth
amendment and the regulation of Re-
manism-while paramount in a time,
OF peace, will necessarily be relegated
during state of war;
| conceive it my duty, in the light
OF recent developments at Washing
ton, not to press these issues at this
time but to withdraw my candidacy
IN favor Of the present incumbent.
Mr.. Crisp, who on account of his ia
miliarity with national affairs, is bet
ter fitted to cope with the questions
OF the hour than l or Mr.. Hudson.
l believe the two problems indicated
in the two issues as outlined above
will form, however, the nucleus of the
most momentous questions of the
future. They must be settled and set
tied right before the problems are in
tensified. When national conditions
are right, shall undertake either to
force these issues or to run the race
myself Personality is nothing. Prin-
ciples are every thing.
