ALDRICH AND HALE TO QUIT

Bome See Downfall of the Old Guard in the Senate. Washington is stunned following the formal announcement- that Senators Aldrich and Hale had each decided to retire to private life after March 4, when their senate terms expire. In many quarters the news is accepted as the downfall of the old guard that for years has controlled the senate. Senator Aldrich’s retirement is due to falling health. Senator Hale merely announced that he will withdraw from the canvass for re-election.
