WE NEED AN ADVOCATE.
[GaIt Gazette.l
Every Congressional district in this
State needs representative who can ex-
pound its needs to Congress by word of
mouth, in addition to getting his name
on the Congressional Record as having
made prepared speech which he never
delivered in open session. Grove L.
Johnson will represent the State of Cali
fornia by word of mouth and by sledge-
hammer talk and action, and will never
skulk vote to keep his eye single on the
''pie-counter."
JOHNSON AT NEWCASTLE.
PLACER Republican, October 26th.l
The Hon. Grove l.. Johnson, Repub-
lican candidate for Congress in this dis
trict, addressed large and enthusiastic
meeting at Newcastle on Wednesday
evening, and there made one of the most
eloquent and convincing speeches of the
campaign. Bontires were ablaze. the
band rendered inspiring music, and the
people congregated from the entire neigh-
borhood to hear the Republican Con-
gressional champion. and we venture the
assertion that there was not a man,
woman or child that regretted, after the
meeting, that they had attended. Band
Hall, where the meeting was held, was
tastefully decorated for the occasion, and
when the meeting was called to order by
+. II. Howell, who was selected as Chair
man, every seat was occupied, and many
citizens were compelled to stand in the
af
over two hours Mr.. Johnson talked Re-
! publicanism to the people. and 80 elo-
quent and pleasing was The language that
even those who stood up through all the
! meeting scarcely realized the lapse of
time. The speech was a most convinc-
| ing argument in behalf Of Republican
doctrines, and every point that the
| speaker made was most enthusiastically
applauded. The name OF William Nc
Kinley, the champion of protection to
American labor, was greeted with ap-
plause that was prolonged and enthusi-
astic, and the suggestion of him as the
probable Republican candidate for Pres
ident in>1S96 met with perfect storm of
approval. 1t was a splendid meeting,
and is proof that the Republicans of our
neighboring town are alive to the import
ance of the coming election The meet
ing closed with three rousing cheers for
the Republican ticket, and a universal ex-
preston of good will toward its nom-
inees, and Mr.. Johnson In particular.
STRONG APPEAL FOR JOHNSON.
Folsom Telegraph.
For the first time in the history of the
State the people of Sacramento will have
an opportunity to vote for resident of
their own county for the position OF Con-
gresham. There ls not another county
in the State that has as many urgent
needs as Sacramento County has, and not
another county that has been as badly
neglected as it has. We know of moth
ing that has been given within the county
limits but a new Postofilce building, and
only the very shame for the miserable
editice that so long disgraced the Govern
ment there prompted the gift. Even
then 1t took years to get it. There are
many things we want here, but we can
never get them ii we do not send some
one to Washington who has the vim, the
push and the energy to get right in and
work for US. What We want in Con-
gress is a representative of the Sacra-
mento Valley, and where could we go for
such man and be more likely to find
him than in Sacramento City. Sacra-
mento City's existence, its prosperity and
its future depends on the great Sacra-
mento Valley, and consequently its citi-
zens are as much alive to its interests as
they are to their own.
The experience of the last four years
should convince us that what we OF this
district and OF the great Sacramento Val
ley especially want in Congress, and
want very badly, too, is man of ability
and man who will go there TO represent
the people and not to ride some personal
hobby and neglect all other matters in
his district in doing SO. Give US a man
of broad, liberal views and a reputation
| that will command the respect of the
greatest minds in the halls of national
| legislation. We have just such q man in
| the person of Grove l.. Johnson of Sacra-
mento, and local pride and local interests
should prompt every resident of the
Sacramento Valley to vote for him for
Congress. In Mr.. johnson we have a
man whose interests are all bound UP in
Sacramento and his district, a lawyer the
peer OF any in his profession, and a man
who will represent the people in every
way, and who will do his duty without
fear or favor. Mr.. Johnson has been con-
nected with some of the most important
litigation that has been tried In the courts
of California, and has been remarkably |
successful in all he has undertaken. No |
man has done more gratuitous business
for the poor than has Grove l.. John |
son, and no man has more friends |
than ne. OF course he has bit
ter enemies. but even the bitteresU
respect him. In the performance of his |
duty as an attorney he has offended many
powerful men and associations of men. |
But he has never hesitated TO do SO when |
he knew he was in the right. So he will |
be in Congress-brave,e energetic vigilant. |
true to the trust placed in his keeping by |
his constituents, and doing his duty by |
his district, no matter whom he otfends |
Or how much he Injuries himself. Let us
show the people that when such men as
Grove l.. johnson come up tor Office, our |
voters, without regard 10 politics, will |
recognize ability and put him in posi- |
tion to secure for the district what il is |
entitled to from the National Govern
ment, which during the past four years |
has scarcely seemed aware of the exist
ence OF such place as California. Mr.. |
Johnson has been in legislative bodies |
before, and he was always leader when |
he was. de has represented Sacramento |
in the Legislature. and we are pleased to |
say that he did not forget his duty to the |
other portions of the county, and devoted |
his time to aiding and assisting other /
places in the county when asked to do so. |
siEspecially should Folsom show it's ap- |
probation of Grove l.. Johnson, for he |
was one of the hardest workers there for |
Folsom, and TO his endeavors as much as |
to anyone else's was due the success of |
Folsom in securing the location of the |
State Prison at this place. Other places
in the county are indebted to him for |
efforts in their behalf both in the halls OF |
legislation and in matters affecting their |
welfare that have arisen. Mr.. Johnson is |
d man easily approached and easy 10 get |
acquainted with. No matter how humble |
the person, he or she can always be cer- |
tain of kind word and gracious recep- |
ton from him. Those who have busi- |
ness with him are pleased with his frank
ness of manner and his kindness and |
sympathy when trouble makes it neces- |
