SIAED TURKS INNOCTNT OF RAIDS, SPAid MAKES CHARGES [By United Press.] WASHINGTON, July 12.—The Spanish government has informed the State department that Turk_ ish regulars were responsible for anti-American outrages at: Tabriz. This tends to aggravate relations with Turkey. If Turkey’s response corroborates the charge it will probably result in a declaration of war against Turkey.

To Honorable Patrick Sullivan, Chairman, Republican State Commitee and to the Repub- lican Voters of Wyoming. Six months ago I announced my candidacy for the Republican nom- ination for representative in con- gress. Since that time the con- ditions have completely changed. A very great increase in the vol- ume of court business has taken and will take my time. To this is added responsibilities and work as chairman of the Liberty Loan committee of this county, and oth- er calls upon my time and energy in various lines of war activities. These demands are in the nature | of a draft, and I feel it my duty | to continue to comply. therewith. The fitst duty and thot of every ; American is und must be the win- | ning of the war. Out of this con- trolling fact the idea seems to be growing that time, energy and money must be conserved and that political contests should be elim- inated as far as possible. This has lead many to the convictisn that the present experienced war con- gress as it stands should be return- | ed this fall. { For the above reasons I hereby | withdraw as a candidate for rep- resentative, CHARLES E.
