As president Governor Johnson would have the qualities that might be de¬ scribed as logically and historically needful at this time, representing both in thought and by concrete' aehieve rnent all of the progressive reforms to which the American people are now thoroughly committed, Ills personality and his methods are such that, coming into oflice after the strenuous and even terniymg ... . political and financial ex pc rlences , of , recent he , would , , . be rears, prepared , to hold , ....... all that has been , gain ed, restore an 6ra of good foaling ami smoothly and comfortably prepare the way for such additional advanced legis lotion as the times require.

Every political campaign has its in flividunl conditions. It is found in ihis conb*st that Governor Johnson pos sess a strength peculiar to him alone and by which he is certain to bring to the Democratic party upward of a mil¬ lion votes in the middle west that have hitherto been Republican.

The man tears along on his nag, the elephant thun¬ ders close after, and just at the gate¬ way the man swerves to the right, but the elephant, too heavy to swerve, bangs right on through into the hole. He’s mad at first, terribly mad. But they give him no food or drink, they build around the pit fires of damp wood that almost suffocate him with smoke, and they daze and stupefy him with shouts and banging of brass pans, The elephant is completely broken and subdued In three or four days. lie comes forth and follows the trapper humbly and timidly, with tears in his eyes.” A Boy and a Thousand Dollars, A New York judge gave his son $1,000, felling him to go to college and graduate.
