H. McGowan) A. F. Lever has withdrawn frot le sectorial race and has agaii nnounced for the house. Whe: 3ked if he had any statement t take, Mr. Lever said: "The correspondence between th resident and me speaks very plain r and points very clearly to m; aty, which I fulfill in seeking a re omination to the house. "I express to those who have s yally supported my candidacy fo le senate my everlasting appreci tion. "I regret the embarrassmen hich this action causes to thos ho have announced themselves fo jngress from the district, and i ie." The President's Letter. The letter from the president t [r. Lever, follows: The White House, "Washington, June 7, 1918. Dear Mr. Lever: "I know that some time ago yoi lbmitted your name for nominatioi i the Democratic primary electioi i South Carolina as senator fron lat State and that the last day fo ie filing of papers is the 17th da; f his month. There now aeems t< s a very reasonable assurance tha o one will succeed in securing th omination in South Carolina whos itire record does not make it plaii lat he will support the nation am le government with unqualified loy tyf in the vigorous prosecution o lis war to a successful conclusion am writing to ask if this it not al > your own view, and if it is hether you would not be willini reconsider your decision and to main in the house where yoi ould continue to serve as chair an of the very important commit ie on agriculture. It is clear to le that unless there are very com elling reasons to the contrary yoi lould do this. "The past five years have been ex jptinoally fruitful of legislation o ist importance not only to agri lltural and rural life and to th 0,000,000 of people living in th iral districts but also to the whol ation and the world as well. Ther still, as you know, important an< itical measures pressing for solu on. The regular appropriation biJ ot only providing for the highl; nportant activities of the depar ent of agriculture but also con lining an unfortunate proposal t< lange the price of wheat fixed ii proclamation issued some turn 50, is still pending. It is importan lat this measure be disposed o isely at the earliest possible mo ient. "The emergency food productioi ill with two unnecessary and ob ictionable riders, which has passei le house, has not yet been takei p by the senate, and will doubtles ?ain require careful consideratioi y the house before it becomes 1 iw. It is important that this meas re be passed before June 30; other ise, the department may have t iscontinue activities essential t le winning of the war or be great ' embarrassed in its efforts to stim late production and render assist nee to the framers in the solutioi f emergency problems. "The water power bill, which i nder consideration by the specia jmmittee of which you are a mem er, is another urgent and import nt measure which should be acte< pon as promptly as possible. It i ovious that immy other matters o ist consequence to the nation ii le field of agriculture will continu ) press for solution not only dur ig the continuance of the war bu ' ' h, r >v> also after the return of peace. "In your long experience in the house as a member of the committee on argiculture, and, for a number of years, as chairma^, and the important part that you have been able to play in securing wise action on vital measures already enacted into law, clearly point to the desirability of your continuing in the house for the time being if possible. I hope, therefore, you will not feel that I am taking an unwarranted ? liberty in suggesting that, if possible, you reconsider your decision and hat you do not press your canE didacy for senator further. "Assuring you of my appreciation of your cooperation in matteri of ~ legislation, I am, n "Very sincerely yours, ? "Waodrow Wilson. "Hon. A. F. Lever, House or Repree sentatives." Mr. Lever'* Reply. a "Washington, D. C., June 8, 1918 a "President Woodrow Wilson, 11 The White House, o "My Dear Mr. President: "I am in receipt of your letter of e the 7th inst. in which you convey i- the impression that you desire me Y to continue as a member of the s house of representatives. "I entered the senatorial race in o South Carolina only because of my r belief that thereby I could best serve i- my State and country. "You will pardon me for saying t that this communication is a great e and complete surprise to me, as I r have been under the belief that I o was performing the highest duty of a citizen in entering the race for the senate and also performing a o sacrificial duty to the administration At no time did I believe that I was serving my own ambition solely. The one thought actuating me in retiring from the house of representatives a was that I believed that I was peril forming the highest duty to the peon pie of my State, to the nation, to a the administration and yourself. I r had every cause and reason to bey lieve this. You have conveyed to o me now the belief that there is still t a higher and greater duty to pere form to the nation and to yourself, e r "You have impliedly commanded n me to remain in the house of repd resentatives, and not to take the - stump in South Carolina during the f coming months. We are at war; i. you are the commander in chief of the armv and navv: we have a selec i, tive service act, and it is the duty ? of every man to be placed where he o can best serve his nation. If it is a your belief, as I construe your let - ter to me, that my services can best be used in the house of representao tives, and you will say so to me in - unmistakable terms so that 'he who a runs may read,' no matter what my own judgment may be, or the de sires of my friends, I wish to say to f you that I am willing, and likewise - my friends, most cheerfully to ace cede ot your command. e "Respectfully yours, e "A. F. Lever." e Mr. WiUon's Second Letter. i "The White House, "Washington, June 10, 1918. 1 "My Dear Mr. Lever: V "I am in receipt of your letter of - June 8. In reply, permit me to say - that I wrote to you only after the 0 most houghtful consideration of 1 what I deemed to be my duty in the e case. I did not wonder that you t thought yourself entitled by your f long and distinguished service in the - house to consideration as a candidate for the senate, but, as you n yourself suggest in the last para graph of your letter, we are at war 4 J i 4 aiiu uic selective ocivac i plicable in principle to all of us. It s was this consideration that made n me bold as the present head of the a nation to ask you to remain in the i- house of representatives. It seems to me absolutely necessary that you 0 should remain in Washington thru o! the present consideration of the r legislation to which I alluded in my - letter to you of the 7th instant (leg islation which we had hoped to be 1 finished by this time.) "You see, I hope, the clear basis s of my judgment in this important 1 matter, which so nearly touches your - own political career that I would - not in ordinary circumstances have i been at librety to express a judgs ment about it at fill. I am conf vinced that the interests of the nai tion make it in the highest degree e desirable that you should remain as - long as possible in direction of agrit cultural legislation in the house. I hope and believe that you will regard this conviction as a sufficient justification for the liberty I have taken. "Corclially and sincerely yours, "Woodrow Wilson. "Hon. A. F.
