PRICE OUT OF
SENATORIAL RACE
Withdraws as Candidate for
Democratic Nomination.
PETITION FILED FOR METGALFE.
A. E. Cady of St. Paul Files His Name
as Candidate for Republican Nomi
nation for Governor Congressman
Norris Files for Renominatlon,
George Tobey Files for Congress.
Lincoln, July 16. In a letter with
drawing from the race for the Demo
cratic nomination for United States
senator, W. B. Price, says In part:
"When I announced myself as a can
didate for the office of United States
senator I was not actuated by the
thought that my party or the people
owed nie anything for the services
given either the state or nation. I
merely exercised the right which ev
ery citizen has under the law to sub
mit my name for approval or rejection
und to satisfy an ambition , which I
have enteretained to represent the
people of this state. I also feel that
in a small way I had especially con
tributed to the political conditions
now existing in our state that might
bring to my candidacy a sufficient foj
lowing to make my ambition reason
ably certrin of success and in this
hope I have had many assurances
from all parts of the state.
"There are, however, many of my
friends who believe that another
might be selected that has greater
elements of strength than I have and
who may have contributed more large
ly to the success of the cause which is
so dear to myself and others. There
fore I am deferring to their wishes
and hereby announce my withdrawal.
I do this with little reluctance, as con
ditions now present themselves. Now,
as ever, I long for the success of the
things for which I have contended be
foie the people in this state and un
der no circumstances could I or would'
I permit my personal ambition to
stand in the way. This action on my
part I know will be a keen disappoint
ment to many of my personal friends,
but 1 wish them to view the situation
from my viewpoint and believe me
that I am certain that this is the best
thing to be done under the circum
stances and conditions now existing.
There is one who is very near and
dear to me, whose heart is nearly
broken, but love and time will wipe
away her tears, and my compensation
will be that I have performed my full
duty to my friends."
Immediately following the with
drawal of Mr. Price, a petition was
filed with the secretary o? state ask
ing that the name of Richard L. Met
calfe be placed on the Democratic bal
lot. Mr. Metcalfe, when interviewed,
said he would make a statement to
day. There is no doubt Mr. Metcalfe
will accept the filing and make the
race.

RECORD PRICE FOR WHEAT
More Damage to Spring Crop Sends
Prices Upward at Chicago.

mates of crop damage from beat and
drought In the American northwest

incentive. Compared with last night

WAR ON COLD STORAGE
Congress Will Ee Asked to Protect
Health and Prevent Fixing of Prices.
Washington, July 16. Efficient reg
ulation of the cold storage business Is
to be urged during the next congress.
The first step will be a bill pre
scribing that no food product shall bo
kept In a cold storage warehouse in
any ten-ltory for more than six
months Such a measure will serve as
a model for the states. The federal
authorities are searching also for
some constitutional methol' which will
enable federal supervision of the pier
age business, regarding such nction
as necessary to the public health.
The' legislation will be supplement
ary to the pure food law. It Is possl
ble for the agricultural department,
under the provisions of this law, to
condemn any food In cold storage
which Is perilous to health. Put Dr.
Wiley, chief chemist, says the author
ity of the government Is not su.Tielont
to protect people from the cold sfor
Bge evils. None believes the Industry
should be destroyed, but it Is admit
ted that cold storage should not. he
resorted to for speculative purposes

slder'ed first of all.
