absolute declination to be a candi-
date this year.
Mr. Tavenner states furthermore
that he has written all the county
clerks in the district, asking that
his name be Withdrawn from the
ballots. He expressed his appreci-
alton of those of his friends who,

found the climate beneficial to his
health. which was considerably
