The Congressional Nominees.

Personally there is little difference
between Grove L. Johnson, the Repub-
Lean, and Marion DeVries, the Demo-
cratic nominee for Congress. Both are
lawyers and each stands we'll in his pro-
fessfon. One is no more a man of the
people than the other. and Marion De-
Vries is certainly no less an aristocrat
than his opponent. Mr.. Johnson is as
honest and honorable in every particu-
lar as Mr.. DeVries. So far there is no
advantage.
But there is an advantage which the
voters of this district cannot well over
look. Mr.. Johnson has had the expert
cree of a term in Congress. While there
Re became recognized as one of the
rnCst effective workers in that body. He
has work for his district now well un-
der way which he can successfully
carry out if he is returned but which
may be lost if he is defeated
State never gains anything by con-
tinual changes. The State of Maine,
which elects and re-elects her Congress
men. has great advantages over other
states which have a larger representa-
ton, but which are making frequent
changes.
Mr.. Johnson has carried out every
promise he has made and is ready at
any time to render to the voters of this
district an account of his work.-Lodi

CONVINCING ARGUMENT.
Inc Things Congressman Johnson
Will Work For.

From the Sutter County Farmer)
Grove L. Johnson's convincing argu-
ment and eloquent address in Yuba
city last Thursday evening knocked
the pins from under the accusations
ana false statements made against him
IN this part Of the State by the curb
stone orators CD and misguided adher-
entS of the POpocratic party. He
talked true American principles and
his apt comparisons of the two great
parties and their past records gave the
voters who heard him better insight
into the great issues of the campaign
than they ever had before.
Congressman Johnson will work and
act as he says he will. For the best in
tereStS Of the country; for protection
70 American industries; for legisla
ton favorable for silver under a wise
Republican Administration; for the ad-
Justment of the railroad question be-
fore Congress on sound business
basis; for the improvement and pres
etvation of the rivers of the great
Sacramento Valley and the harbors of
the State; for law favorable to our pro-
ducerS and the workingmen and for all
the urgent needs of his district and the
country generally. He has shown his
aClllty IN the last Congress to carry
out what plans he undertakes as he is
already power in the House Of Rep
resentatives, and if the people want
Jealous champion and friend in the

vital importance to them, they should
