A copy of the letter was ad-
dressed to Mr.. Mickle.
Following the release of the an
nouncement, Udall said that he
planned to leave in a few days for
Apache county to rejoin his family
which is spending the summer on
the Udall ranch near st. Johns.
Silent On Rumor
He plans to spend a week or two
at the ranch before returning to
Phoenix. He declined to discuss a
rumor that he would return to the
prohibition department.
Udall resigned as deputy pro-
hibition administrator for Arizona
several weeks ago in order to enter
the race for governor Since it be-
came rumored that he would not be
candidate for governor, an equal
ly strong rumor has arisen that he
will return to the department So
far the position of deputy prohibi-
tiOn administrator is untitled.
In asking Udall to withdraw from
the race, Corbett and Mickle ap-
poaled to his spirit of party loyalty
They also assured Udall that Gov
ernor Phillips would not seek a
third term-Arizona Republican.

.UDALL DROPS OUT OF RACE
RESPONDS TO CALL OF LEADERS AND WILL
NOT RUN AGAINST PHILLIPS

Believing the best interests Of
the Republican party in Arizona
will be served by his action, John
H. Udall. candidate for the Repub-
lican nomination for governor, and
former deputy prohibition admin
istrator for Arizona, yesterday an
nouncced his withdrawal from the
gubernatorial race.
The withdrawal of Mr.. Udall
leaves Gov. John c. Phillips a can.
didate for reelection, the sole can
didate of the republican party for
the nomination. The formal an
nouncement of the latter has not
yet been made although it is gen.
orally known that he pIans to seek
reelection.
Action Expected
The action of Mr.. Udall was rot
unexpected. since it has been ri.
mored for several days that he
would make this announcement
and sacrifice his personal a1nbi-
bitions for the good of the repub-
lican party IN Arizona.
Several days ago, Mr.. UdaIi re-
ceived letter from II S. CorDett,
of Tucson, republican national com
mittaeman from Arizona, asking
him to withdraw in tho best inter.
ests of-the party and thus assure
Republican harmony in the elec.
tion next November. This letter
was counter3igned by aud had the
sanction of George H Mickle. re.
publican state chairman.
Although Mr. UdalI made no com
ments on the matter except those
contained in the brief letter he
mailed to Mr. Corbett announcing
his Withdrawal, it is believed that
he viii support the republican
ticket in the general election this
fail
Seeks Harmony
Mr. Udell stated that his action
was taken to promote harmony in
the party and. that he would work
TO assure the success Of the party
this fall. This is taken by many tC
mean that he will support the tick
ct and will work for it in the gen
eral election.
