My dear George: — i
As you appear to be drawing
heavily from your excess wealth of
gray matter in criticising the re-
nowned Chief Executive of Pennsyl-
vania, Pinchot, I am enclosing an
‘ editorial which appeared in today’s
San Francisco Chronicle, the lead-
ing Republican daily of California.
I do so as it expresses my convic-|
tion and opinion of the gentleman
referred to—
I am a native of the Keystone,
and as you are aware, a fervent
Republican, but not so blindly de- |
voted to that organization, that I
will accept and be loyal to one who |
by chance, has been elected to high
office against the wishes of the bet- |
ter element of his party.
If Pinchot had cver done any-
thing to commend him to the es-|
teem of the people, my convictions
might be different but I deem him
simply as a chronic office seeker |
and he is, at the present time, re-
rted as aspiring to attain the
loftiest pinnacle of man's ambition,
the Presidency of the United States,
though I am certain the Supreme
Being, who rules over nations and |
individuals, will not permit such a
calamity to be visited upon our
Huckleberries are said to be

Will just add that The Watchman

less to say it is a welcome visitor

Following is the editorial
the San Francisco Chronicle of
June 4:
from
Gifford Pinchot, speaking before |
the conference of Governors on Tues-
day is understood to have thrown his
‘hat into the presidential ring
Throwing his hat is one of the best
‘things Governor Pinchot does. Bul
it must be admitted he has had
plenty of practice. He has beer

|
{
doing it now for many years. Noth- |
ing in the record shows that he eve:
withdrew a single one of his hats
He now has enough headgear in the |
‘ring to start a museum.
This time Governor Pinchot
| feathered his chapeau with the
and intangible enough to carry the
“power issue,’ a thing light
hat and the ring to the Norris front |
yard, for the Nebraska Senator tc
see and to admire. “Power” is the
current shibboleth of the Insurgents |
(Just what it means is a mysterious |
‘secret, But the test of zeal is the
‘ability to pronounce the word “pow:
er” with the approved degree of
emotion and the proper intonations.
Mr. Pinchot chose the conference
lof Governors as the place to show
his practiced modulations and the
‘depth of his feeling when saying
“power.” The Governors, met in an
annual conference which for years
has been kept on serious business
and free from politics, sought tc
avert annoyance to themselves by
assigning to Mr. Pinchot the sub-
ject, “Timber Needs of the Future.”
But the future now engaging the
attention of the famous forester is
1932 ana his dearest interest is tc
offer the country the one piece of
presidential timber which has his
whole hearted approval. If
he dic |
| this with delicacy his meaning wa:
none the less clear.
It would be well for Mr, Pinchot
to warn forecasters not to lay toc
much stress on his election as Gov-
ernor of Pennsylvania as a sign of
his political strength. intc
the record might disclose that both
Pinchot elections in his own State
were achieved with the backing of
‘the Grundy machine and Grund)

‘ever it is.
