His statement was issued to Port land papers yesterday before he left for Medford. He said his statement was occasioned by questions of many people who have asked what he would do if another candidate filed against Morse. Would Give Support "If I feel that man is better known throughout the state than I am," Robinson's statement said, "then I will be glad to withdraw in his behalf and will give him all financial support possible, and will work for his election with the same integrity as if -I were continuing the race myself." Up state political observers have felt that Robinson's can didacy actually strcngthed Sen. Morse's chances for reelection. Robinson being relatively un known throughout the state, they reasoned that Morse would have little difficulty in defeating him. And they add that the fact that Robinson is an avowed candidate for the post would deter other better-known and more exper ienced men who might other wise seek the senate seat.
