ment follows:
II am not q candidate for the

will not be a candidate in some fu-

not hostile to Judge Harrison. He

years ago. first in the primary, later
in the general election. and now in
the contest with Capt. John Paul be-
fore Congress In order to hold his
seat. These contests have cost Judge
Harrison heavily. Therefore, I think
he should not be put to the expense
Of a primary fight this summer"
