Dear Governor:
Admiral Cary Grayson has just been kind enough to telephone me from the Convention Hall that a relative of his among your associates in the Mississippi delegation had said in confidence to Mrs. Woodrow Wilson and himself that the delegation headed by yourself had decided to cast its ballots at the outset for Newton D. Baker. The delegate spoke in confidence and Armiral Grayson so relayed the word to me, but I cannot refrain from saying this word of deepest gratification to you and the other members of the delegation.
You know, as do all of us who are acquainted with Secretary Baker, that Mississippi will not need to regret its generous action.
Our mutual friend, President Guy E. Snavely, was kind enough to speak to me some months ago of your kindly judgments concerning Secretary Baker and I am going to give myself the pleasure of relaying to him this word concerning your action, which will be a source of profound comfort to him.
I shall look forward to the privilege of meeting you and I trust that you will not fail to summon me for any service that I can perform.
Faithfully yours,
RALPH HAYES
