Sacramento, Calf, June 22.-The
influx OF japanese into California has
brought about alarming" conditions,
and II has become necessary to pro-
tect the sovereignty OF the state
against this growing menace" through
diplomatic negotiations or a strict ex-
clusion act, Gov. William ID. Stephens
said In a letter addressed TO Secretary
Of State Colby.
Governor Stephens expressed the
hope In the letter that the initiative
measure now being projected in the
state TO deny Asiatics the right TO all
land purchases or leaseholds would be
accepted by the electorate by an over.
whelming majority.
While California harbors 10 ami
mostly against the japanese people, he
said, the state does not wish them to
settle within her borders and to de-
velop a Japanese population In her
midst. He asks that immediate nego-
tiations be entered into with the en-
pire Of japan TO make impossible any
further "eyasions' Of existing imml-
grafton agreements and to make such
agreements as rigorous as possible.
Twenty years ago our japanese
population was nominal" the letter
said. "Ten years ago the census re-
ports Of the United States govern
ment showed a Japanese population in
California Of 4l,356.
"A computation and survey recent
ly made by the board Of control Of the
state Of California indicates that this
japanese population has been more
than doubled-amounting now to ST.
279. The best figures available indi-
cate that our japanese population com
prises between 50 and S5 per cent of
t.ie total japanese population of con-
tinental United States"
Governor Stephens said he feared
that the initiative measure, II passed,
might fall short of It's purposes
through the japanese retaining pos
session OF agricultural lands through
personal employment contracts.
Although respecting Japanese eul-
ture and advancement and the right
Of Japan to trade development, Gov
ernor Stephens held that .'the people
of California are determined to re-
press developing japanese commu-
nifty in our midst. They are deter
mined to exhaust every power in their
keeping to maintain this state for its
own people"
california also foresees in the not
distant future the grayest menace Of
serious conflict II this development is

clear in this matter. It declares that
an officer must first have permission
from the board Of commissioners if
he wants to leave the state. The
board declares that Mrs. O'Grady did
not have this necessary permit, and
when they learned that, they appoint

one James w. Gavin. Then the fun
started. The Nonpartisans tried to
put Gavin out of office and Gavin
resiste. Taylor led a mob down to the
