withdrawal on tre grownd that . hi:
“desire is =0 great to see the Depart
ment of Agricuiture removed from
politics,” he is inepired with the hope
that his retirement will tend to-.
ward clearing the situation so that
“one “onc candidate can defeat the
present incumbent and his army of
empoles.”
Eariier in th day a conference had
been called by Charles Stewart, be
tween himself and Messrs. Irwin
Shettlesworth and Talmadge, at
which Stewart submitted a propo
sition that each of thesa four can ir
