Editor Review,
New Ulm, MINI.
Dear Sir:
am informed that a rumor has
gained currency in your city to the
effect that the movement to raise a
fund for the erection of monument
to the late Governor John A. John
son in this, his home city, had been
abandoned. Such is far from being
the case.
The local committee, of which
Mayor Philip Dick is the chairman,
now hasupwards of $500 in it's treasury
and will persevere in its efforts to col
lect fund with which to erect suit
able shaft or statue to the memory Of
the chief magistrate. The movement
is wholly separate and distinct from
that designed to place memorial at
the state capitol, and the moneys Sc
cured will be used to erect a memorial
in St. Peter.
At the present time the state fund is
monopolizing attention, and the local
committee does not contemplate an
active campaign until after it has been
closed. Once that has been done a
systematic campaign will be begun to
bring the St. Peter fund to total of
5000 Or more, that we may ittingly
perpetuate the life and deeds of our
celebrated fellow-townsman.
Assuring you of our appreciation of
the interest being shown by the people
of New Ulm and of the good work of
the Review, am, -- -a
Yours,
II. J. Essler,
