It will he remember ed that hcvcral months ago Mr. Dial authorized a statement in the daily papers to the effect that he would he in the race ?gain this summer to suc ceed Senator K. D. Smith. Yesterday he stated that after mature considera tion he had come to the conclusion, for business and other reasons, not to run this year. Mr. Dial intimated that a compelling reason for his with drawal from the field at this time was because of a dislike of being drawn into a factional fight an would likely characterize thc campaign, a tight which would becloud the it-sues which he desired to discuss and on which he would base his ciaiuin for the of fice. With the people nt present In a state of mind where thoy profer list ening to other than conservativo dis cussions of constructive measures, Mr. Dial feels that he is unwilling to sacrifice himself in a campaign where those issues In which he has no inter ess would be uppermost.

Mr. Dial stated that he felt that his. de feat at that time was 'brought about by a combustion of circumstances over which he had no control and which he did not Seek to control be cause of the cuestionable tactics it would have, involved. Mr. Dial having hud requests from several sources that he "throw his hat into tho ring for governor," he was asked about thia also. In reply, he stated that-he had considered the matter very seriously, but that the same reasons which had prompted him In staying out of the senatorial race also influenced him in his pres ent intention of remaining out of this race also. However, he bas a number of things concerning the. public wel fare whi?h he would like to see ens acted into law and lt is probable that he will offer for governor or senate st some future time. _ y?
