ALDRICH GIVES REASONS President Regrets Retirement of Two Leaders, Whom He Con siders Best Acquainted . • with the Government. Augusta, Me., .April — A letter from Eusene Hale. United States Senator from this state, to Byron Boyd, chair man of the State Central Committee, was received to-day, in which Mr. Hale an nounced his decision not to engage in a conflict for re-election. In the letter Senator Hale did not refer to the con dition of his health, but called attention to the fact that there had been jriven him what no other man In Maine had received, five ' unanimous nominations for continuous terms in the Senate, and if did not seem fitting for him "to make I personal contest for the succession." Senator Hale predicted that "should the Democrats carry the next House of Representatives, within ninety days after the opening of the next Conprress a free trade tariff bill will be sent to the Senate, in which Maine's principal in dustries and interests' will be marked for slaughter." The Senator also declined the invita tion of the state committee to accept the temporary chairmanship of the Repub lican State Convention, to be held In this city on June •_*». As far as known here Senator Hale will complete his term, which ends on March 3, 1911. Senator Hale's Letter. The letter, which was dated Washing ten. April IS, follows; Hon. Byron Royd. chairman Republican State Committee. My dear Mr. Chairman: Tour notice that th*» state committee requests me to preside at the' June convention has been received, and I fully appreciate the honor and the confidence which the re quest implies. But it is not at all cer tain rhat the session of Congress will end before July; therefore the commit tee should select some other presiding officer Besides this. It is not certain that I will he In Maine at th*> time, ami I take this occasion to say. through you. that I decline to engage In a conflict for the Benatonhlp. Laager public service is not necessary to my peace of mind, and. the prospect of retirement has little In it that is dis acre«-able to me. The party lias gfven me -what no other man in Maine has Href receiver', five unanimous nominations for five full continuous terms? in th-> Senate, arid it seems not fitting for me to make a personal contest for the suc cession. The situation will not find mr», how ever. eith»-r a grumbler or a malcontent. My -desire is to *«•■<■> Governor' Ferna ld re-elected by i pood majority, with i Republican Legislature at his back. It is further most important that Maine should s«>nd four Republican Represent atives to the next Congress, to avoid what may be the critical trial day for all Maine's industries and her business prosperity. Should the Democrats carry the next House of Representatives within ninety days after the opening of the next Congress a free tariff bill will •be sent to the Senate, in which Maine's principal industries and Interests will be marked for slaughter. Whoever recall* the situation under the Morrison bill, and later under the Gorman- Wilson bill, will fully realize this. And this disaster to Ualne can be prevented only by the Republicans retaining control In the next House of Representatives. To this end a full Republican delegation from Main* in the next Congress will be needed more than ever before, and to secure this re sult all my sympathy and efforts are nt the command of the party. Congratulating you, Mr. Chairman, on your good management of Republican campaigns heretofore, and with the hop«; of another Republican success in Sep tember, with every good personal wish. I am, yours sincerely. EUGENE HALS Houlton, Me.
