nizant Of the fact that he did his whole
duty in behalf Of his constituency, and
IL perchance right was to be construed
Into wrong, and in the cause of right
ana justice he was to be crushed, he
would still be cognizant of the fact that
he did right, and he would go down in
defeat with the full consciousness or
knowing that he died in the cause Of
right, and that ignorance, stupidity
and the lack of better judgment on the
part Of members of his own party.
would be accountable for the result.
But such conclusions are not to be;
such results will not follow upon the
heels of Congressional record 80
| brilliant in every part as that made by
the Hon. Grove L. Johnson in the re-
cent Congress.
The people. irrespective of party, are
being educated up to tho fact that Hon.
| Grove L. Johnson did right in every
act, and Notwithstanding the fact that
| his immigration bill, pension bill and
| other important bills have been filed
for the incoming Congress- they are
measures, which if they become law,
will be Of widespread benefit to the
people; not only to the people Of the
Second Congressional District OF Cali
fornia and the State, but the whole
Nation as well. With a Republican
President and a Republican Congress
these valuable bills will become law.
1t is to the interest Of every voter Of
the Second District to study up the
record of the Hon. Grove L. Johnson
before the day Of election arrives; to
study it up In a fair and unprejudiced
frame Of mind; note the vast good he
would have accomplished had the Ad-
ministration been favorable to him;
take into consideration that he is a
man of deep learning, a man of broad
conception, man of the highest legal
| attainments, a scholar and a states
man of the first order; that he is a
deserving man, and that he merits the
hearty support of his party. Remem-
| Der, too, that he Is not only a credit
to the district he represents in his own
State, but credit to the Nation as
well. His commanding influence in the
councils Of the land should not be for
gotten by Republicans; he is the right
| man in the right place. He Is true
blue Republican and has been for thir-
ty-five years. He has watched the rise
Of the Republican party since its birth
and always cherished it as the party
Of American progress, for such it is.
1t has blaZed the trees along every
new highway to American Industrial
| success. 1t stood for free labor when
the Democracy maintained slave labor.
1t defended the Union and the honor
OF the flag when botn were imperilled.
1t has stood abreast Of the best thought
and noblest aspirations Of the age in
which It's lot is cast, and through good
and evil report, by night and by day,
in the hours Of peril and in the full
blush Of victory 1t has merited success.
The Hon. Grove L. Johnson is a stall
wart member Of that grand old par
ty; that party of courage and con-
science; that party Of promises kept,
OF deeds performed. He believes in its
sublime faith In the American people;
its devotion to truth; it's love of free
dom; the depth Of it's patriotism: its
national principles and all it's hopes
| and all it's prayers for the greatness
and glory of our united country. Such
is the devotion of the Hon. Grove L.
Johnson to the Republican party, and
the reasons why he is a member Of that
grand old party. Republicans. be as
| cevotee, and on the Sd Of November
next cast your ballot for the reelection
OF the Hon. Grove L. Johnson. This is
| a duty you owe yourself, your district
