His la?t statement *a,\* that lie had a reason for making the announcement that he did, k ml u't present lie will let any man sug gest to himself what that reason was. It \jas intimated in this correspond enee last .Monday that Mr. Hlease would mil run in the general election, IJi? friends have stated that he made the st a: ?'men t that he did in order 'to the white people to register j.n his dis trict so that the negro registration, whieh is only al>out SKOQOi wouhl not he a ineimce. , However, in his first statement he called on his factional fol lowers to remain away from the primaries Mil that they could support, him in the gem nil election if they so chose. Since Mr. Hlease made his former announcement he has <H?ine in for a deal of 'criticism for his stand, both by news papers and by individuals. Candidates now making the canvass for the Demo cratic nomination jn the Seventh dis trict have stigmatized Mr. Mease's action as a "blot" i n effect an appeal to the negro vote.'* In reference to these can didates Mr. It lease, in today's statement rays that they should t'hpnk him for his announcement .

"My intimate friends know that I would not be in the race, and I so "-luted by Miter and in person to others ; in fact all of my associates knew t4iat I wo i) Id not acccj?t that job if offered if unanimously. "I m-eived by letters and personally many assurances of support and some people would be surprised to know how many endorsed ?i|y position ?nd the names of men who promised support, they being, like myself, tired of such primaries as we have had in recent years. "Certain announced candidates for the place should thank me for that announce ment. for they would not have had any speech without it, as they haven't brains enough to make an intelligent argument upon important issues."
