You'are aware that I was in no sense whatever an applicant for the offlce It was with the gravest reluctance ‘that I agreed to accept the honorable but heavy burdens of that office.in case my nomination were sent:to the senate and’ confirmed by it. “I did not then anticipate a pro- tracted and’ bitter contest. At the {invitation of the cominittée on bank- ing and currency I willingly ‘appeared before it to ‘answer 'any questions which' they “might desire to ask ot me, and I endeavored to .answer with entire frankness all the ques- tions that.were asked and my testi- mony ‘was méide public'at my request, “It is not for me to surmise mo- tives or'to complain of results. That my nomination and-the controversy that has arisen over it in the com- mittee on banking and currency . is seriously embarrassing your adminis- tration and is causing injury to -the party of which you are the leader is too clear to admit of any doubt. “And in view of the character of the report made -by- the majority of' the committee “on’ banking-and currency, a-majority: composed of six republi- cans- and-two ;democrats—much"of it based on distortion of facts and per- version--of truth—I feel convinced that such opposition has developed to the confirmation of..my .appointment and such criticism has been made of my nomination-that even if the nomi- nation were confirmed. by-the senate my usefulness as'a member of the federal reserve board would: be seri- ously impaired. . “I am not willing longer to, ‘remain: the cause of embarrassment to ' you and to your administration, and in view of the considerations above stated 1 now ask 'that you withdraw my name from consideration. “Faithfully yours, “THOMAS D. JONES.” Mr. Jones’ Personal Letter. The above letter was Mr. Jones' formal-declination, but he also wrote a persenal letter to'ithe’ president and Mr, Wilson gave out a part of it - as follows: “l cannot let the matter go with- out a personal ‘word,- which I deemed inappropriate to be inserted in that letter. 1 confess that the opportun- ity to be associated with you, even in a minor way, in the actual crea- tive work of government took strong hold.upon my imagination. “It served to overbear doubts of the wisdom of my undertaking the task presented, growing . mainly .out of consideration of . health. .1 doubt whether I could have stood the work long, but I was prepared to devote the last ounce of strength there was in.me to the work. which your proposal seemed to bring to me. “Now that the vision is passed my preponderant feeling is that of pro- found relief. T had come to feel that 1 was in some way the occasion. of getting you into inextricable difficul- ties. .1 am sure that my withdrawal is wise. “I hardly dare trust myself to say how deeply I prize the confidence you have shown in me and your en- deavors to carry the matter through. It will always be a matter of deep pride to me. “With light apparently. ahead in Mexico, and. with achievements al- ready accomplished, which even the most sanguine. could not have antici- pated a year and a. half ago, u can afford to face minor irritations with entire equanimity.

Walsh of Kansas City is chairman. John M. Glenn, secretary of the Illinois Manufacturers” association; Victor M. Olander, secretary of the Lake Sea- men’s union, the heads of two of the largest employing corporations in the Chicago district, and several so- cial settlement workers were among those heard. ‘“The commission seeks to discover a plan for real co-opera- tion,” said Mr. Walsh. “Some basis may be found for that, and then in- dustrial warfare will end.” invaluable services of such a man as I and all fair minded men who know You at all know vou to be; regret that T should have brought upon you so unpledsdnt an experience in which you were treated with gross and man- ifest injustice; regret that such cir- cumstances should seem even for the moment to be associated with appoint- ment to high office under; the great government of the United States, rep- resenting a generous, fair and hon- orable people; regret that the organi- .zation of a -great banking - system should be so embarrassed and ob- structed. You need not think that anything in the present circumstances has embar- rassed me in the least. It causes me not the slightest embarrassment. I have no moment of hesitation or flag- ging enthusiasm in standing by men whom I honor and believe in. It gives me nothing but pleasure and ex- hilaration to stand by them at any time and to any extent. You may leave my feelings (my feelings for myself) out of the reckoning. The aspect of this matter , which seems to me of gravest concern and consequenge is. that' the choice of members of the federal reserve board of the new banking system should have been made an occasion of par- tisan alignment and action. The adverse report oh your nomina- tion, to which you' justly refer as un- be charged to the feeling or action of the senate of the United States or to anything for which that great body as a whole ‘can be held responsible. Fixes the Responsibility. The report is gigned only by the minority members of the committee and by two members of the majority who have usually acted with them. There is no reason to believe . that either in its temper or in its conclu- sions that report represents the atti- tude of the senate itself. I wish most heartily that the inauguration of the new national banking system, a sys- tem conceived and enacted with no element of partisanship in its pro- visions, might have been free from this unfortunate and ominous inci- dent. I believe that the judgment and de- sire of the whole country cry out for a new temper in affairs. The time has come when discrimination against particular. classes of men should be absolutely laid aside. and discarded as unworthy of the counsels of a great people, The effort for genuine social. jus- tice, for peace, the peace which is founded in common understanding, and for prosperity, the prosperity of co-operation and mutual confidence, should be a unit without partisan pre- judice or class antagonism. It is only of such just and noble elements that the welfare of a great country can be composed. We have breathed already too long the air of suspicion and distrust. The progress of reform is not retarded by gener- osity and fairness, President Honors Him, Your action in requesting that your name be withdrawn displays vour usual sensitive regard for considera- tions other than your own personal interest, and .sincerely as T regret It I cannot but honor you for the action You have taken. I have no right to ask, much less to urge, that you continue to allow yvourself to be made the football of the sort of contest which has sprung up over this .nomination. 'It is' a matter of genuine sorrow to me that a man like you should be excluded from the public service upon great occasion. But neither of us is responsible for these extraordinary circumstances. We must both accept them. 1 cannot ask vou to undergo more than you have undergone. T can only hope th better, cooler, wiser counsels may presently pre- vail. Moreover, a great program of corrective and constructive legislation is upon the eve of completion, and 1 am sure that you would not wish, as 1 do not wish, anything of a personal fair and untrue is, of course, not to | TOMORROW WE BEGIN THE OF OUR LAST WEEK FACTORY AND STORE CLEARANCE SALE The few items printed below show the kind of values that are offered throughout each department. ‘We haven’t space in this ad to list every offer as it should be, but we assure you that any article we carry—in the line of clothing and furnishings— can be bought here now 25 per cent. to 50 per cent. lower in price than the same qualities have ever before been sold at. come tomorrow and see!

Dramatic Withdrawal. The withdrawal of the nomination of Mr. Jones was accepted under dra- matic circumstances. Senator Reed was on-the floor of the senate grilling the International Harvester company and - making a sharp attack upon Mr. Jones. Senator Reed's speech was sensa- tional. In referring to.the fact that Mr. Jones pleaded that he did not be- come a director of the Harvester trust until after it was organized Senator | Reed had just said: “A man who volunteers to serve on board 'a pirate ship with an already established .criminal history may be worse than one who enlists with the original crew. The latter might have been. deceived into the service: the former knows the gory record of the craft. “The man who conducts the Har- vester trust cannot escape responsibil- | ity by alleging that his sponsor and friend created it before he took ser- vice. “A man who cannot determine whether the practices of a monopoly are illegal until the question has been decided by the courts is too much in | need of advice to be placed in a posi- tion requiring great discretion and in- dependent judgment. Even a burglar is willing to admit his wrong after he has been advised by a court and duly sentenced to the pen.” Senator Reed was still hurling his bolts against Mr. Jones when Senator Hitchcock, smiling, tiptoed into the chamber. He moved over near S¢n- ator Reed and slipped him a piece of paper telling of the president’s ac- | tion. Senator Reed read the note, | looked surprised and then resumed his task once more Wwith renewed energy. He was still lashing the Har- vester company when the president’s messenger appeared at the senate door and handed in the notice ot | withdrawal. Senators Hitchcock and Reed be- \lieve they have won a great victory over the president and do not seem to fear the political consequences. Kach of them expects to be strength- ened in his own state by the result. Ithaca Man Reserve Board Director.
