His in- clination has always been to depend upon the approval of the people for his standing among them and for their endorsement to another term in Congress. He has consistently de- clared that he will fulfill his duty to the uttermost—whether or not it may result in his injury at the hands of unscrupulous opponents and ene- mies. He will, in the event of de- feat, which is really an impossibil- ity, have the approval of his own conscience. Another reason is the very pre- carious health of Mrs. Sparkman, who is an inmate of a hospital near Washington in such a condition that his frequent sustaining presence is essential to her comfort and neces- sary to insure her a chance of re- covery. He would rather forfeit the election than to impose upon her the loneliness that his absence would create.
