5.-Of more than usual significance was
the visit to Fairview today of Frank B,
Lynch of st, Paul, Democratic national
committeeman from Minnesota and
manager OF the Governor johnson cam
paign for the presidential nomination
at the Denver convention.
Mr.. Lynch arrived about noon in
company with b. u. Nelson OF Minne-
apolls, president of the State Fair as
sociation.
Mr.. Lynch's presence at Fairview
was at the special request of Mr.. Bry-
an. He lost no time In conveying to
the Democratic nominee Governor
Johnson's assurance of loyal support
of the Democratic ticket, and his in
tention to take the stump in Mr.. Bry-
ans behalf.
There is no animosity toward Bryan
in Minnesota" said Mr.. Lynch.
while 1 do not promise that the
Democrats will carry Minnesota this
year, l think they have a good chance"
Mr.. Lynch declared that nothing
ranked in Governor Johnson's heart
because he was defeated for the NOM
mation.
HE feels all right about it," said he.
land all Minnesota Democrats are for
Bryan"
The business which brought Mr..
Nelson to Fairview was to invite Mr.
Bryan to attend the state fair in st.
Paul and deliver an address. The in
vitation was accepted, the date being
fixed at August 81, but with the under
standing that there should be no
charge for admission to the grounds
on that day.
1t was announced that the st. Paul
speech will be the only one Mr.. Bryan
will make In Minnesota during the
campaign. The subject to be discussed
will probably be the tariff.
