Stauffer, Chairman, The Landon-For-President Committee to Mr. W. Bancroft Mellor, dated March 28, 1936. The letter states that Governor Alf M. Landon will not participate in any primaries. A copy of this letter appears with the article, “Gov. Landon Not a Candidate in the California Republican Presidential Primary: GOVERNOR'S OWN LETTER EXPOSES HEARST TRICK Documented Record of Kansan's Repeated Refusals to Enter Contest in This State,” Los Angeles Times, 26 Apr. 1936: 10 See also Item Arks 21198/zz002j7r8m and Ark 21198/zz002j7r94 for the other letters imaged in the same photo spread. Text from newspaper caption: When, how and why Gov. Landon of Kansas refused to enter the Presidential primaries of California or any other State. By not a word nor a line has he or anyone authorized to speak for him ever receded from this position. His alleged entry in the California Republican contest is a piece of bald-faced trickery on the part of W. R. Hearst, a registered Democrat of New York, who cannot vote in this state and who not even a resident of California. [Los Angeles Times, 26 Apr. 1936: 10] Text from negative sleeve: 5064—Letters from Gov. Alf M Landon [stamped:] APR 29 1936
