WITHDRAWS III
FAVOR OF Dili
Local Representative Decides
Not to Run for Senate in
Opposition to Ashland Caa-
f didate Sees No Real Issue
Between Them.
Announcemt-nt was nuulo this woi
Ding by lon C. Sheldon that be bad
decided not to contest the republican
nomination for the state senate with
Geo. Dunn of Ashland. This announce
ment will doubtless come as a surprise
to most of the jeople of the county,
but not to those who knew of the re
peated ctforU made by Medford repub-
licana to bring out an Ashland man for
one of the legislative positions, work
ing on the theory that, for the sake
of (rood feeling between the two cities
Asbland should be giveu her choice
ttt any position on the delegation.' Mr.
Bhtildon bad been a party to this ef
fort from the first, and knew that the
Medford republicans making this effort-
were holding in abeyance their
sapport of himself pending some ac
tion iiy .Ashland. He filed only after
being informed that Ashland had given
lip the idea of a candidate.
Mr. Sheldon's announcement was In
the nature of a letter to Mr. Dunn, as
follows: ,
Medford, April 13th. 1922.
Hon. Geo. A. Dunn, Ashland, Ore.
Dear Mr. Dunn: I am in receipt of
roar message to the effect that you
have decided to file for the senate.
Your decision creates a rather unusual
situation fromvTny standpoint which J
will try to state:
Tbe people of Ashland feel that they
fcre entitled to a place on the legisla
tive delegation, a feeling that is gen
erally recognised over the county as
fair. , .
; You will grant. I am sure, that Med
ford republicans have shown a genuine
desire to give Ashland whatever she
wanted in this regard. Repeatedly
and persistently you of Ashland were
asked to run a man for either senate
or bouse; such men as Mr. Bert An
derson and Mr. S. S. Smith 39 well as
others going to your representative
republicans or Ashland and urging
them to bring out a man.
I decided to run ouly after being as
sured that Ashland bad no candidate.
Now your people are urging you to
run. Whilo the motive of a few of the
more active of those urging your can
' dldacy is something different, by and
large it is true that Ashland wants a
place on the delegation.
A contest between ourselves would
be justified only on one of two
grounds; that there was some real
issue between us as to our attitude on
the principal work of the next session,
or that we bad personal ambitions
which warranted us in going out and
fighting for them. I have looked for
ward to the next session with only one
purpose, trying to lower taxes and
help readjust ' the state's financial
utalus onto a sounder, more ecunotnl
ml banls. I am certain you w ill hold
thnt same purpose. 1 have no ambi
tion to continue legislative wovk fur
ther thnn nlKbt accompany the
thought thut 1 might be of service. 1
havo had nil that being In the legisla
ture can give in the way of training,
experience and acquaintance. I am
not the kind of a man who cn climb
politically thruugh service in the legis
lature under prevailing conditions.
Hence 1 have no ambition to continue
there which would warrant my asking
mr friends to make a contest for mo.
Anyone knows that a bitter primary
contest between us cannot help but do
'(tin .rii).ll..u n ,,,. nf K.i tnlt ft
harm: leaving sores that might be
carried into the" election this fall or
into other elections.
. No one who knows y;u could object
to you personally as the coimvy's rep
resentative in the senate.
It looks, then, as though I am iu the
Hisitin of asking my friends to put
up a fight, against a man to whom
nono can rai.se the slightest objection.
on behalf of myself who has already
received more than his deserts and
who has no particular ambition for

Late Thursday afternoon K. Hoy
w
Davis, the I'ntted States commission
er, decided that hi revolver would be
better iff stored In the wifo at the
poBloff'co than at his home, so he
brought the weapon, snugly encased
Iu Its holster, down from the house
for that purpoR and before handing
It over to Roland Reach at the money
order window to lock up in the sate,
stopped to dlaeuss tho Irish and

Vnder these circumstances I have
decided not to opinwe you for the
nomination. -
I believe my withdrawal leaves you
a clear field for the nomination which
I am sure means an easy election. Be
assured of my very best wishes for a
successful term of service at the legis
lature and of my willingness to do any
thing to niakn ICbo.
Very sincerely,
