Stedman is at present 'under the
care of a specialist in Washington
and has been advised that it would
be highly injudicious for me to
a,ttempt to make any speeches
during the month of October,"
Major Stedman's conditiort,
however, is not serious, and it is
expected that he will be able to
return to his home here soon. A
statement was issued by Major
Stedman yesterday to the Daily
Daily Record. It follows:
"l am being detained in Wash-
! ington under the treatment of Dr.
H. A. Fowler, a prominent speci
alist. My trouble is due to the
passage of a stone from my kid
ney. He tslls me that my present
condition indicates that I will be
rid of the stone .and restored to
my usual health at an early perir
pd, but states that' it wouldi be
highly injudicious for me- to at
tempt to make any speeches dur-,
in the month of October. '
"Believing it to be my duty to
1 1 follow his advice, I exceedingly
regret uifii iuauuui spettK in uie
counties of my district during this
campaign. I know, however, that
my fellow democrats will not al
low the. cause of our party to suf-
rrom every section of the district
that conditions indicate democra
tic gains all along the line' and
that I will be relected to Congress
by a majority l?rger than I re
received at the last election. Foi
the confidence ever manifested in
me by the democrats of the fifth
district I am profoundly grateful
I trust I shall ever merit and de I
serve it.-
