litter signi-d by prominent lie
publieana of Portland. Hi with

Portland. April Messrs.
S. Benson, Hen Si lting , John Me
Court, Stanley Jewell and oth
er: Gentlemen Your letter Im
reached me in which an appeal
it made to abandon my caniliil.i
ey for the United State Senate
at the present time on ground
which muni appeal to the good
judgment of every loyal llepuli
lieau in the tate. And audi an
appeal made at a time of great
stress In the life of the Nation
could but meet with Immediate
response on my part.
Last January 1 entered the
campaign for the Republican
Humiliation for United State
Senate on a broad basin of pa
triotic itcrvlee during a time of
National and even world-wide
emergency. I then felt that my
experience and training would
be of far greatrr service to my
country In the Senate than in
nv .itlirr iiositlon. l'lon Hint
I based niv candidacy. 1 or
two month I have apent all my
l...- vlsltlnir all section of the
state and meeting a many of my
fellow citlen a possible.
About a week ago it appeared
to me that in the interests of a
I'itiKenallill 1 hl)uld CCUHC
tli.. mwnditure of money ancli
the employment of my time In a
candidacy which offered o many
obstacle and which would re
quire o much physical energy
to carry on the work which
would end in November.
I have counseled with a num
ber of friends, and they advise
me that my judgment in the mat
ter 1 good, o I have determined
to cease the campaign work aim
conserve my financial resources
and my physical energy for
broader use In the National
emergency which I now center
ing in France. With two sons in
the service, one of them on the
battle line, the struggle on the
western front make It impossl
Me for me to carry on effective
political activity. Several days
A if (1 I iiraetieallv made tip my
mind to announce abandonment
of my political plans, and your
letter of April 20 ha convinced
me that the proper course to
pursue 1 to leave the political
contest to other and younger
men.
For 80 year I have lived in
Oregon, and all the tics of
friendship and business and pol
itic center In Portland. I have
had only one purpose all Ihe
time, and I have it now, and that
Is to be of service to the state in
iinvr WAV nossible. whether the
nnsltion be obscure or promi
nent. 1 hope that in making this
mnvp I am doinir the wise thing
in the interest of my party anil
my state.
In mv nninion. the war has
only begun, and all the resources
of the slate ami Uie nanon win
be called into action before we
can expect peace. At my age it
I not priicticuble or desirable
that I should go to the front;
but I am ready to render and
will render here whatever ot per
sonal service or of financial sup
port to the (iovcrnmeut may
within in v resources. It seems
to me that I shall employ both to
better advantage in the coming
mouths than I could were 1 to
remain in the political contest
for the Scimlorship.
Willi the keenest appreciation
for the help 1 have had from loy
al friends in ail sections o tli
state, 1 have fullv determined
tit step aside, and perhaps aid in
the work of unifying the party
ami imlnir a Republican state a
