Bradley was the Governor’s special investigator, sent to Powell to do an opinion poll on the Japanese coming to the town to do business. His response in part: “From the persons I actually contacted, the percentage was about equal as to the Japs being granted the privilege of coming to Powell. However, from the information I received from direct contacts, I was given the impression that the larger majority of the townspeople were in favor of having the Japs come to Powell to trade. I would guess that the percentage would probably be about 65% to 35% in favor of having them come to the city.”
