Of CONTEST FOR
SENATE L.EADER R
Nebraska Senator With
draws, Thus Virtually AS
suring the Selection of
Underwood of Alabama.

Washington, April Ex-senator
Hitchcock of Nebraska withdrew
tonight from the race for demo-
cratic leader Of the senate, thus
virtually assuring the selection of
Senator Underwood of Alabama, at
The democratic conferees called
for Tuesday night.
Senator Hitchcock's announce
ment was made in letter to senate
democrats. He said his withdrawal
from the fight would conduce to
democratic harmony and would ac.
cord with his individual plans,
which would not permit him dur
ing the remainder of the year tc
undertake the work of minority
leader which devolved upon him
with the retirement from the SEN
ate of the late Senator Martin of
Virginia.
The withdrawal of the Nebraska
senator breaks the deadlock which
developed at the party conference
January rs, when the first effort
was made to select a successor to
senator. Martin.
II now desire to terminate this
deadlock wrote Senator Hitch
cock, ''and hereby withdraw my
name from the contest. This will
conduce to democratic harmony
and will accord with my individ-
uaf plans which will not permit me.
during the remainder of the year,
TO undertake such continuous serv-
ice in the senate as | have had dur
ing the past twelve months.
THE year during which / have
acted as democratic leader has
been one of responsibility and diff
ficulty but one of pleasure also,
because of the consideration shown
me by party colleagues, whether
they agreed with me or not.
Il desire particularly to thank
those who have supported me in
this contest and to say to all that
| shall be glad, in resuming my po-
sition as vice chairman, to coop
crate as heretofore with the chosen
leader.
Senator Hitchcock's friends ex-
planned the presidential campaign
would take the senator away from
Washington at frequent intervals
and that aside from this he would
make frequent visits to his summer
home in Massachusetts,, and conse-
quently would not desire the re-
sponsibility of minority leadership.
Senator Hitchcock has been the
democratic leader throughout the
long peace treaty fight and it was
explicitly stated at the White House
and by Senator Underwood that ir-
respective Of the outcome of the
election for leadership he would
continue as the administration
spokesman should the treaty fight
be renewed.

Investigate, and ifFeasible, if
Put Program Through" Is
GiSt of Statement of the
Big Land Owner.

Hon. Frank A. Hubbell when
asked by a Journal representative
yesterday afternoon to define his
position on the drainage of the Rio
Grande valley, gave a formal writ
ten statement in which he said thai
he was heartily for the projects if
they were clearly proven to be
practicable. Mr.. Hubbell desired to
investigate what engineering work
had been done and to take every
precaution against failure before
beginning work. He favors all pos
sible expedition in doing the work
consistent with intelligent. care
full, businesslike methods. He
also accepted place upon the
Chamber of Commerce committee
cept, Following is his written
statement:
II have been requested by the
Journal to state my views on the
question of the drainage of the
valley.
I'm reply, may l say that l am
heartily for such program If
practicable. / am not very IA
miliar with what engineering
work has been done, nor by
whom, to determine its feasibility.
| would not want to see work be-
gun until committees from among
those Interested had determined
whether the preliminary engi-
neering work is sufficient and, II
necessary, additional work Is
done. / am for having such work
completed as soon as possible and
will give every cooperation, fl
nancial and personal, to that end.
II only want to see that no
mistakes are made and no money
wasted in undertaking this task
without q secure foundation being
laid.
IF then mistaken, / feel that
a carefully prepared plan of edu-
cation should be conducted to ad-
wise the landowners in the valley
as to just what data We rely upon
and what relief may be expected
from drainage. | will give time
and personal service to this work
and to procuring the necessary
consents from land owners. | am
| against any unnecessary delay but
feel care should be taken to have
everybody understand all about
the expense involved and the en-
tire plan so that no reaction in
sentiment may block the work.
II desire to cooperate with
the Chamber of Commerce COM
mittee and shall accept an offered
place on the committee and hear
tily cooperate with it,
'T hope this statement will
make my position clear and si-
lence criticism that l have been
against the draining of the valley
merely because l could not, from
every standpoint, approve some of
the immature plans heretofore
put forward. With cooperation
and hard work we ought to have
the plans well along during 1920"
Mr.. Hubbell is by far the larg-
est land owner in the valley and
therefore most largely interested
in successful outcome. Without
question, he has the largest ac-
ouaintance in the valley of any
citizen of Albuquerque. For many
years one of the wealthiest and
most influential men In the state,
