his admirers should not get tired by

SKETCH OF THE SINGLE TAX, FREE
TRADE CONGRESSMAN.

How He Conducted His Recent Cam
paign-His Tent 1Ieetings-Why He
Went Into Po1itfcs-From a Humble
Beginning to Wealth and Fame.
Especial Correspondence-I
CLEVELAND Nov. 15--There is one
admirable thing about Tom johnson,
the free trade, single taxer congressman
of this city who was defeated with SO
many other candidates for election and
reelection this year, and that is that
he is not inclined to cry over split milk.
IF am defeated, = he said to me
Just before election, II shall return to
my business with renewed vigor and
probably when the time comes try the
political game again. shall not COM
plain unless think some serious blum
der has been made in my campaigning. =
His Campaign was a Lively One.
It is doubtful If there ever was anoth-
er SO lively a congressional campaign
anyw here, any year, despite its disas-
trous conclusion, as the one conducted
this year IN Cleveland by Mr. johnson.
So far as this town is concerned, it is
certain that nothing like it was ever
known before. In one important sense
it was very much like a jug handle, one
sided, for, of all the daily newspapers
Of Cleveland, but two. one printed in
English and one IN German, were in
favor Of JOhnsOn's election. The regu-
lar Democratic organ even, that has
rarely if ever before bo1ted a nornina-
ton Of its party, was against him. Prob
ably this phenomenal journalistic con-
dition had something to do with John
sons own extraordinary activity. He
seemed to be absolutely without need of
rest from the beginning to the end of
the canvass. and he managed to inspire
all his lieutenants with a degree Of ac-
tive enthusiasm almost equal to his
own.
The tent meetings were perhaps the
most striking feature. One was held ev-
cry night, and the attendance was al
most always large enough to fill the big
circus canvas to the door, and there
were many times when the people could
not begin to gee in. johnson himself
spoke almost nightly at these meetings,
besides often addressing two or three
other gatherings IN halls and elsew here.
The tent audiences were largely COM
