Seattle, Wash., January 16, 1908, Mr. Harry W. Carroll, City Comptroller City Hall, Seattle, Wash Ay Dear Sir I was urged by friends in different political parties to file my declaration as a candidate for Mayor of this city. Since filing this declaration I have made careful investi- gation of the political situation. The information now in my possession forces me to believe that some of the parties who urged me to be a candidate were | anxious to see me nominated, but not anxious to see se elected. They were rather, I think, seeking to prevent the nomination and election of Mr. William Hickman Moore. I do not approve of political methods of that sort I appreciate deeply the friendship and loyalty of those who sincerely sought my nomination and election; but considering the situation as it now stands, I believe I am serving both my, friends and the City of Seattle best by withdrawing. I therefore most respectfully recall my declaration of can- didacy for the office of, Mayor and hereby officially advise you of that fact and request that you omit my name from the ballot in the coming election.
