Statement.
ILL HEALTH is CAUSE

Senator Simmons of North Carolina
has withdrawn from the race for
democratic leader of the Senate in
the next Congress, leaving the field
TO his opponent, Senator Robinson of
Arkansas. The announcement of the
withdrawal was made by Senator
Simmons colleague, Senator Overman,
late yesterday afternoon. Senator
Overmans statement in part, follows:
MY colleague, Senator Simmons,
from his sick bed in New Bern. North
Carolina, has asked me to make pub
lie a request that his name shall no
longer be considered for the post of
democratic leader in the Senate. Not
withstanding the fact that more than
half the members of the present Sem
ate are supporting him. and he has
other assurances that justify him III
feeling most hopeful of success. SEN
ator Simmons feels he must take this
action in part upon considera ton. of
his health and in part for reasons of
party harmony. My colleagues ply
sicians have advised him that he must
take the best of care of himself for
several months to come, and they
strongly warn MN agalnst uAaer
taking any new burdens until he shall
have fully recovered his strength.
Opposition Unexpected.
'It is well known here that Sena-
tor Simmons in the beginning con-
sented to the use Of his name for the
democratic leadership only upon
what seemed to be satisfactory as
surances that there would be no con-
siderable opposition. He stated then
that he would not under any c1rcum-
stances enter into a scramble for the
place. Since Senator Robinson, for
whom Senator Simmons feels high
esteem and friendship, was offered as
candidate. Senator Simmons has re-
Trained from withdrawing his own
name, only because he has felt that
LOYALTY to his own friends and sup
porters would not permit 1T.
"My colleague now feels, however,
in view of his health and of the fact
that the contest between his friends
and those of Senator Robinson has
grown so close and promises to be
so. long drawn out, with the conse-
uuent neglect of that necessary con-
centration. by, democratic senator's of
mind and effort on party and national
affairs all through this year. that the
highest national and party considera-
tions demand that the contest shall
proceed no further. Senator Simrions
therefore has asked and obtained the
consent of his friends to leave the
field clear to Senator Robinson, whose
