SAYS GOV. JOHNSON
IS THE RIGHT MAN
+. Il. Lynch Of the Minnesota Demo-
cratic Committee, Sends Letter to
Local Delegate to the State Coz.
venti0n, Urging Care and COnsid.
Grafton.

The following letter was received
yesterday by Meyer Solmson, city edi-
tor of the Graphic, from F. 3. Lynch,
treasurer of the Minnesota Democratic
Committee, whose headquarters are in
Chicago, and who is booming the can
didacy of Governor Johnson for the
presidential nominations
Mr. Meyer Solmson,
Pine Bluff Ark,
Your name has been given to us as
that of one of the delegates to the
Arkansas state Democratic convention
and as such you doubtless have the
best interests of the party at heart
and would like to see it in power
Now, it appears to us that the time
is ripe for the Democrats Of Arkansas,
as we'll as of the country at large, to
turn their faces from the past to the
future and get together with a view
to victory. We think that one of the
essentials of victory this year is
strong candidate who Will be accepta
bic to the party as a whole, rather
than any particular wing or section of
it. 1t is with this feeling that the
Democrats of Minnesota have present
ed Governor John A, Johnson of that
state as candidate for the Demo
cratic nomination to the presidency.
The conditions governing the presi
Dental contest this year are such that
if the party will use good Judgment
we will be able to escape from the ira
ditions of defeat that have come down
to us from 1896, 1900 and 1904. and
put a man of our political faith in
the White House.
In the last day or two, a tremen-
dous change has begun to come over
the party and its leaders in all sec
tons of the country. There is a feel
ing that the nomination of Governor
Johnson is possible, if not probable
and our people are taking new hope
and strength from that feeling. The
action of the New York state conven-
ton in sending an uninstructed del
egation to Denver and the course of the
Michigan state central committee in
refusing to indorse any candidate prior
to the state convention shows the way
the wind blows.
Governor Johnson is a Democrat
who has always been loyal and it is
as Democrat that he is a candidate
for the nomination and not as an
opponent of any other leader. He and |
friends will be found supporting the |
nominee at Denver with energy and |
ardor.
We would remind you that only a |
few states have yet held their con-
ventions. There is still ample time for
the party to avail itself of the favor
able conditions of this year; still am
pie time to study the situation and
pick winner at Denver We are con-
hdent that If majority of the dele
gates to Denver go there uninstructed l.
and prepared to survey the ground and
use their cool judgment, they will NOM
mate winner-Governor Johnson
we Solicit your cooperation in this

 "I was much impressed while on the Pacific coast with the anti-Japanese feeling existing at Vancouver and all through British Columbia, which is far more intense than the feeling on the American side of the border. At San Francisco the anti Japanese element is relatively small and ono hears little of the active agitation against the Jap aneSe.

 "Before coming to America I shared the views of a considerable element in France and throughout Europe that the Japanese question might lead the United States to war, but personal ob- servation throughout the Middle West and Far West has completely changed my views. The people of the West are not thinking of such a thing, and scout Francisco. which is supposed in Europe to be the center of anti-Japanese hos tility, there was much less feeling than I found to exist in the British colonies to the north. It is quite evident also, in witnessing the splendid development of the Pacific coast, that a war would be but little short of criminal. alike disastrous to Japan and the United States. neither of whom has anything to gain by such recourse to barbar- ism.
