The committee that has Governor Johnson's candidacy in hand has selected Mr. Day to make a tour of the vest for the purpose of getting an expression of the sentiment of leading Democrats lu thla section. He Is nut trying to secure Instructed delegations tar Johnoen. All he asks is that the Democrats send uninstructed delegations to the Denver convention in order that his candidate shall have an oppor-tunlt- y to have his claims acted upon by an unbiased Jury at the proper v time. These Twe Dodge Politics While in Ogden Mr. Day was the guest of Attorney Holla 8. Fgraswoith and his family. The two men were chums in Minneapolis for yean; they were boys together, attended school together, were married about the same time and have ever since maintained a close friendship. As Mr. Day is a Democrat and Mr. Farnsworth la a nover-aay-d- is Republican they did not have much to say about politics. Their visit eras purely social and highly enjoyable.

I am not unmindful, either, of the high honor which has been paid me by the people of Minnesota, and If the Democratic party of the state desire to present my name to the next national convention, I would have no objection; but even if Minnesota were the only state to declare for me at eh&t time, I should still feel that the distinction was one of the greatest which could come to me. I have done nothing and will do nothing in the way of organisation to bring about this end, and shall not be a candidate in the aense of seeking the u. nomination. le Ready For Service "If, however, those who have the welfare of the country and the Democratic party at heart should feel that 1 am necessary In this year of grace.

With the arrival of the battleship fleet off San Diego now but a few days distant, enthusiasm in this city is passing all bounds and the celebration to be held here will doubtless be the most remarkable ovation in the history of the American navy. Later Los Angeles, Manta Barbara and Ban Francisco will have an opportunity to demonstrate their hospitality, but San Diego, by reason of being the first American city on the Pacific coast to welcome the sailors, is determined to take precednece also in the enthusiasm of its greeting. Fkir weeks the various clmmlttees have been working night and day, and the results of their labors ere already apparent. Thousands of Invitations have been sent to prominent ciiisens of California, Arlsona, and New Mexico and assurances of large crowds of distinguished visitors have been received.
