I greatly appreciate the fact that many of' the good people, of the state should consider me a proper candidate for the high and honorable position of governor, yet 1 feel that it is' due the public that 1 should speak frankly on the subject. "Xo one could be more appreciative tnan t ot tne loyal and taithlul support that I have received in past years at the hands of my fellow-citizens, for without their support I could have ac complished nothing, and 1 shall ever hold them in grateful remembrance for their steadfast and unyielding loyalty to me. Yet, from a financial standpoint I feel unable to make the sacrifice which such candidacy would involve. My chief ambition is to administer the law faith fully, impartially and fearlessly, and I feel that 1 can better serve the whole people in the position I now occupy than by again entering the arena of politics. "As to the intimation from certain quarters that my candidacy would lead toDIWMPtion to a certain -position, 1 could not entertain such a suggestion. Such an intimation would place both Judge Taft and myself in an improper light. I am sorry to note that certain papers have placed an erroneous con struction upon a letter written by ex - Senator Butler recently, by seeking to convey the impression that he had some sort of understanding as to my promotion in the event thai I should become a candidate for iwi'prnnr TK. letter in question is not susceptible of suca construction, e merely suggested iifiili!
