•'FARMER" IS NOT A CANDIDATE.
Congressman Kulp Will Kot Stand For
Re-election. He Warmly Thanks the
Voters For Their Support.
From the. Sliamokin News.
It is with regret ibatTnE DAILY NEWS
innounces this evening that the genial,
popular, young congressman, Monroe H.
Kulp, will not make another of his phe
nomenal campaigns in this district. His
card herewith appended explains the mat
ter.
To the Republican voters of the Seven
teenth Congressional District.
During the past few weeks I have re
ceived a large number of letters from
Iriends throughout the district, referring
to the statement recently made in the pub
lic press that I would be a candidate fora
third term in Congress and tendering their
support. Under the circumstances I deem
it proper 10 announce that 1 will not be a
candidate for re-election to this important
and honorable position.
I truly believe that the district is safe
ly wiihin the Republican lines and that
there will be no trouble in selecting a
candidate who will lead the party to vic
tory at the coming election, and with a
view of giving the party ample time to
select sach a candidate and to give an
equal opportunity to all who may aspire
10 succeed me, I make this announcement.
I desire to express nty gratefulness to
i he voters of the district for their splenditl
support at the polls as well as the uni
formly kind treatment I have received at
their hands at all times, and to assure
them that although my term of office is
rapidly drawing lo a close, I shall alway.-
consider myself a public servant and con
linue lo do anything in my power to as
sist them in any work where my experie
nce as a member of the fifiy-fourih ami
fil'iy-tifih congresses may be of service to
Item, particularly to the old soldiers,
whose interests I have always endeavoret
to protect and to whose support I attribuh
so much of my success.
Again thanking you lor your support ii
the past ami assuring you of mv heart;
support for the candidate selecn-i| by tin
party to succed me, I remain sincere);
; tours. MONROE 11. Kui.p.
Mr. Ivulp's determination not to accej
further honor in the halls of congress wil
lie received with deep regret by his man;
friends, who would have
-lood by him lor re-election next tall am
many times thereafter so long as he con
.inued discharging the varied duties of tin
i high office with the fidelity manilestei
; tli us far in his public career.
Mr. Kulp was interviewed by a New.-
i reporter this morning with reference ti
j ihe above card and learned that the con
| gressman had some tine ago determinei
> not to run next fall, but that an unauthor
izetl statement iu the press on the subjeci
I made it a public duty both to the part;
I and a candidate who might be considering
the matter, that he should make a puhlit
statement of his intentions. With retei
ence to a number of comments of news
papers on the recent appointment of Majm
Penman, of Scran.on, as revenne collectoi
of the Twelfth District over Mr.Rohrbact
ofSunbury, Mr. Kulp said:
"I have been very much misrepresented
in this matter. To be sure I took a dee|
interest in the appointment of my friend
Mr. Rohrbach, and had carefully avoideti
all complications by not taking any pari
in the candidacy of any other applicant
for appointment to an office where th<
jurisdiction was devided among several
members of congress and devoted invselt
entirely to his cause. At the sametiun
it tnusi be remembered that the twelth
revenue district covers a large territory
comprising over twenty counties, and in
eluding .lie cities of Wilkesbarre, Scrar
ton and Willianisport and that eight Re
publican congiessman were lobe consul
| letl in the final decision. Circumstances
| were brought to bear on the case whicl
were not made public but which were o
such importance that I really cannot now
do anything further than express my re
gret, especially in this neighborhood, foi
everybody knows the service Mr. Rohr
bach lias rendered to the party and hh
ability to till the position.
That Hon. M. S. Quay will have tin
entire support of Mr. Kulp is evidenced
by the following:
: "Notwithstanding the statement to tin
; contrary made by a number of papers,'
j said the congressman, 'T am stiil foi
! Senator Quay and will do all I can l«
assist in his re election to another term ii
; ilie senate, and the election of caiididatef
j lor the legislature who, if elected, wil
I vote lor him. While we did not agrct
upon a candidate for revenue collector,
whose appointment would have been .-
ureat satisfaction to the people of ni;
| district as well as myself, there is no'
I enough in that to warrant my making tin
1 remarks nttrihuted to meor in acting lb.
school-boy as the papers say I do. 'J'.
use a common expression, I am not buin
that way."
