Marshal Johnson writes to President Roosevelt that friends have urged Register of the Treasury Lyons, Collector of Internal Revenue Henry A. Rucker, Henry Lincoln Johnson and Johnson to serve as Georgia’s delegates at the Republican National Convention. This means that Harry Stillwell Edwards could be defeated.
