worthy and spotless record. He was
named for John p. Hale, the free soil
candidate for President in 1852, was
educated in the common schools, fought
for the flag Of his country from the
time he was II until he reached his ma
jority, and when peace was restored he
became an instructor in public
school. Mr.. Johnson moved with his
family from Indiana to Illinois after the
war. In 1871 he married Mary e. Loot
burrow of Washington Court House,
Ohio. In 1876 he was admitted to the
bar of Illinois, and since 1877 he has
practiced in the town Of Newton with
Judge James w. Gibson for his partner.
Mr.. Johnson was republican before he
became prohibitionist. He served the
republican party as delegate to its To-
cal and state conventions and might
have had no small honor in return had
he not preferred to retire from it.
Since that time he has been prominent
in prohibition politics and was named
for governor by the state convention.
Just as he was developing as a strong
candidate he was transferred to The
national ticket.

lily of four brothers and one sister. She
was born in Hamilton, Mass, in April,
1888. Her fathers name was James b.
Dodge. and her mother was Hannah
Stanwood of Hollowell, Me. jacob
Stanwood, a brother of Hannah, was
the father of Mrs.James G. Blaine, and
thus the relations, cemented by friend
ship, between Miss Dodge and the
Blaine family came about. Miss Dodge
was led into close friendship with Mr..
Blaine, and at the death of the latter
she became his literary executor, be-
ing in possession of all his papers and
documents of value TO her as his au-
thorized biographer. She was engaged
as frequently as her health would per-
nit on Mr.. Blaine's biography from the
time of his death until her illness of
last year. and it is thought her untir-
ing devotion to the work was instru-
mental in bringing about that pros
tration. The scene of her birth was a
rambling old house, now standing near
the Methodist camp meeting grounds.
II belonged to Calls grandfather, jon
athan Dodge, and there she lived with
her parents until the old man died.
The family property was then divided,
and James Dodge with his children
moved to a small house near the Wen
ham Station.
Miss Dodge had begun to acquire
considerable success and prominence
as a writer when her father and moth
err died, and she then was able to
buy the place which she made her
home. Miss Dodge attended the public
schools in Hamilton until she was 10
years old. She then went to Cam
bridge to DR.. Alvah Smiths school.
This was a fashionable old training
school in it's day for the young folks
of the old colony families. Thence she
went to the Ipswich Academy in lps-
wich, kept by the Rev. John P. Cowles,
and there the finishing touches of her
school education were received. This,
too was "a celebrated school in those
times, though now only weather.
beaten, deserted old building and a
revered memory remain. Miss Dodge
then had attained her twentieth year,
and as a starter in taking care of her.
self she determined to teach school. A
place was offered her in the Hartford,
Conn, high school. Her peculiar indie
pendence was brought out in that.
Gail refused to pass any examination
to prove her fitness for the place. The
committee members firmly insisted that
such were the conditions all young
teachers had to undergo. Miss Dodge,
however. was Obdurate.
