Phoenix, Ariz., Aug. %, 1918.
ITO the Arizona Gazette,
Phoenix, Arizona.
'Mr. Editor: l desire to announce
to the public and especially to those
most loyal friends who have been sup
porting me in the contest for the Dem
ocratic nomination for governor that
| am not financially able to place my
candidacy before the people in such
manner as would warrant asking them
to continue their support. Therefore,
in justice to them with assurances of
my most sincere appreciation for their
efforts in my behalf, / withdraw from
the contest that they may lend their
assistance to such candidate as may
have better chance of winning than
l.
hope that the fight l have been
making may have some small infiu-
ence in elevating the standard of po-
litical affairs of our great state of
Arizona.
Believing that the interest of the
whole people of Arizona will be served
best by the nomination of Sidney P.
Osborn, l intend to cast my vote for
him.
