was no opposition to Mr.. johnson,

teemed contemporaries jumped upon
US with both feet, so to speak, at the

over what they were pleased to call

congressman Grove L. Johnson has
oeen renominated in the Second, or
sacramento District. He is as astute
ana influential a Representative as
thls State has ever sent to Washing
ton. True, he is accredited to be a
friend OF the Southern Pacific Com
pany, but surely that vast business
corporation is entitled to at least one
spokesman in the lower house of the
National Legislature.
Jacksonville Pajaronian)
A number of prominent" San
Franciscans are worrying over the
candidacy of Grove L. Johnson for
Congress from the Second District.
The voters of the Second District are
fully able to sit in judgment on Grove
L. johnson without any advice from
San Francisco. The old Second Dis
trlct has never sent stick to Con-
gress, and its members have been far
more effective in securing legislation
for California than the Representa-
tives from San Francisco have been.
If the metropolis had been repre-
sented by Congressman like Sargent,
Page and Johnson she would not have
to-day the poorest public buildings
OF any large city in the country.

Although a vigorous attempt will
be made to unhorse Hon. Grove. l..
Johnson, candidate for Congress to
succeed himself, the fact still remains
that Grove was one of the best Rep
resentatives his district ever had in

who introduced the bill to restrict
pauper immigration, a step toward
the protection of American labor, be-
sides many other measures of vast
Importance to his Congressional Dis
trict.

of brains to the halls of Congress who
has a bit of brains about him and
who knows how to use those brains.

the resumption Of hydraulic mining,

who is glad that the Hon. Grove L.
Johnson was sent to Congress and
they hope that he will be sent there
again.

Grove L. Johnson has been the true
friend of the people of the whole Sec
ond Congressional District. Send him
back again and show him you ap-
preciate his past services.
(Amador Republican,
It is self-evident that the Second
District at this important conjuncture
cannot afford to lose the valuable
services of the present incum bent,
and certainly no Republican can be
Indifferent to the success of the can
didate Of his party in this district.
(Stockton Independently
San Joaquin Republicans should see
the necessity for returning to Con-
gress an Efficient and active worker
who is able to do good service for the
district. There are pressing needs Of
this section which will make it i'm
portant to re-elect Congressman
Johnson, and thinking men will exert
themselves to that end.
