'40 TUE SUNDAY OREGONIAN, PORTLAND, JUNE O, 1920 THOMPSON SPURFJS G0MW1ITTEE POST Chicago Mayor Declines to "Sacrifice Principles." RE-ELECTION NOT WANTED "So Part Desired In Auction of Presidency," Declares ex Xatlonal Committeeman. CHICAGO. June 5. Mayor William Hale Thompson of Chicago today la sued a slprned statement in which he declined to be a candidate for re election as republican national com mitteeman. Mayor Thompson's action was taken, he said, because he "can not and "will not accept election to an office, the forceful administration of which might make me a party to the purchase of the high office of presi dent of the United States." Mayor Thompson, in his statement, declared that at the Illinois primary election "a vast majority of those vot ing In Chicago had expressed their demand that the United States get out of Europe and stay out, their opposi tion to the league of nations . . ." and that "although a majority of the Illinois delegates to the national con vention have promised to vote for my re-election as national committeeman, recent developments have convinced me that acceptance of re-election as national committeeman might compel me to sacrifice the principles for which the people of Chicago voted, lie-election la Declined. "I, therefore, decline re-election in order to be free to continue the fight for the principles our people have Indorsed so emphatically. I will not for a membership forsake my duty to aid in the fight for these American principles." The mayor's statement said in part: "The facts disclosed within the past few days through an Investigation by the United States senate of presiden tial campaign expenses further impel ana to this decision. Regard for pub lic decency ehould rise above personal ambition for office or power. It is apparent that certain Interests would put the Vhlte House on the auction block. They assume that a candidate with vast sums of money to spend can be made president regardless of his record, his lack of principles, or his lack of sympathy with the alms and desires of the American people. Corrupt Influences Scented. "Delegates have been excluded from seats on account of corrupt influ ences surrounding their selection. Other delegates, unopposed for elec tion, received substantial sums of money, according to their own con fessions. The ideals of true repub licanism would. In my opinion, be served if the persons who Improperly paid or Bupplied money also were de prived of the privileges of the con vention and barred from being bene ficiaries of any convention action. "Believing in my heart that our great republic cannot survive unless the money changers shall be driven from the temple of government, I cannot and will not accept an election to office, the forceful administration of which might make me a party to the purchase of the high office of president of the United States."
