Minneapolis, MINI, Feb. 81, 1916.
To the Democratic Voters Of Mime
sofa:
On March IA an election will be held
to select twenty-four delegates to the
democratic National Convention at st.
Louis. s
In this election of delegates, there
is but one issue to be decided by the
democratic voters of this state. That
one issue is whether or not F. B. Lynch
shall be elected for a third term as
National committeeman. Any state.
ment that there is any other issue in
volved in this election will be unquai-
fedly false and made only to deceive.
At a conference held on February 3
in the city of St. Paul, twenty-four
men were named to file as candidates
for delegates to the democratic Ma
tional convention. Most of these men
favor the election of F. B. Lynch for
third term as National committee
man. This is exactly as was intended,
the "conference' having been called
solely in the interest of Mr.. Lynch.
| Against this list of 'conference'
picked candidates, nineteen other
men have fled as candidates for dele
gates to the democratic National con-
vention. These nineteen men, united
in the one desire to restore peace and
harmony in the democratic party Of
this state, will unquestionably oppose
the election of Mr.. Lynch to succeed
himself for third term as the first
and most necessary step in the restora-
ton OF party peace and harmony. For
the information Of voters, printed
/ 1S% ~ h
be voted for in this district is furnish
ed herewith.
Unless voter can bring himself to
feel that the best interest of the demo-
| cratic party of this state should be
sacrificed for the personal advantage
and benefit of one single individual,
then there is not one valid reason for
the election Of Mr.. Lynch for third
term. There are many reasons he
should not be so elected, among which
the following are submitted:
l. During the eight years he has
been National committeeman, the party
in this state has been sad y torn by
dissensions and strife, and factional
differences have grown at an alarming
rate: To this deplorable condition Of
affairs Mr.. Lvnch's political methods
have unquestionably been the chief
contribution. In face Of the facts as
they exist, the party has nothing to
hope for by continuing him as Ma
tlonal committeeman for twelve years.
2. In his appointments he has uni
formly preferred those who have been
OF service to himself personally as
against those who have been more
loyal to the party and Of greater SER
vice to it. -..-.
3. He has appointed to office his
relatives, personal and business
! friends, and political agents, regard

to the utter exclusion Of worthy demo-
Gratis better fitted for the positions.
4. He has appointed to Office men
who are not democrats over menAwh
are democrats and possessed of higher
qualifications, as shown by actual civil
service examinations. In one particu-
lar case, the appointment Of postmast-
er at Glovick, German democrat, who
stood the best civil service examina-
tion was turned down bv him, and a
republican, less competent, as shown
by the same civil service examination,
was appointed to the position.
5. Although he has been in absolute
control Of federal patronage in this
state during this entire administra-
ton, the Office force in every federal
department office located in the state
continues almost, if not entirely repub-
lican, Notwithstanding the fact that
one Of Mr.. Lynch's appointees be in
charge of the office. Either Mr..
Lynch thinks democrats have not sense
enough to fill these positions, or else
for some reason best known to him
self he has determined to protect the
republican holdovers as far as posi-
BILE. Evidently democracy for Dem
ocrats'' is not part of his political
code.
s. He has persistently used the pow
er Of his position as National commit
teeman to further his own personal
plans and for his own personal gain,
financially and otherwise. Likewise
he has used this power to punish and
humiliate, even to the extent Of party
ostracism, faithful and worthy demo-
| Gratis who refused to become subserv-
lent to his will.
Z. He has not hesitated to bring to
! his aid, and make alliances with, men
| of little or questionable party service.
In the campaign he is now making to
! re-elect himself, at least three of his
four candidates for delegates-at-large
are far better known for the number
! Of times they have bolted the party,
it's platforms and it's candidates, than
for any party service either of them
] has even rendered.
! s. He has created and maintained
fractional machines within the party
| that have driven out of the party and
into retirement many Of the most 10y
al democrats of the state.
9. Although his position as National
committeeman makes him a represen-
tative of the president of the United
States as we'll as of the democratic
party, he has not hesitated to embar-
rass both by engaging personally in
! the questionable business Of supplying
army mules and horses to one Of the
belligerent nations Of the European
war.
| Shall the personal and political for.
tunes Of F. B. Lynch be longer pro-
NOTED at the expense Of the demo
cracy of this state?
| This is the one and only question
to be decided by the democrats of this
state by their votes on March IA.
| The delegates that are elected on
that day will have the absolute and
sole power under the law to elect the
next National committeeman.

GENERAL FORD, MEMBER OF
GOVERNOR -BIGELOW'S FOOT
GUARD, SAVES AGED FRIEND

On their way to the Connecticut So
eiety, sons Of Revolution banquet held
yesterday in The Stratfeld, Gen. Ed
win T. Greedy, prominent citizen of
New Haven and former army man,
and General George Hair Ford, mem
Der Of Governor Bigelow's staff years
ago, were caught in the wreck.
Gen Greedy. who is more than 80
years Of age was thrown to the floor
of the car in which he was riding, and
the seat piled on top of him. Gen.
Ford, who ware merely. suffering from
shock, climbed over the debris to the
rescue of his friend and dragged him
from beneath the seat. Together they
made their way to safety through the
doorway.
Cen Greedy is in Il serious condf-
ton, at The Stratfield. He suffered
tremendous shock. He has Injuries to
his left side and muscular strains.
This added to the face that he is more
than 20 years of age, make his condi-
ton doubtful.
He was taken to Bridgeport in the
relief train with Gen. Ford. Dr. G. s.
Ford, house physician at The STRAIT
field, attended him and gave orders
that he see no one, 50 serious was his
condition. He rested comfortably
throughout the night and his prospects
Grimly, the veteran remarked to
Gen. Ford, apropos their intended
seats at the banquet: 81 can't say I
appreciate Bridgeport.s hospitality
Dr. Ford found that Cen Ford left

guished men told him that IN their

than anything else.

and we craw1ed out of the car.
The force of the collision was so
great that the chair on which I was
seated was broken in half. The man
seated in front of me was thrown al

although he was stunned he managed
to pick himself up in a short time
and With the exception of few
bruises he appeared to be unhurt.
