JOHNSON AT ELK GROVE.
Notwithstanding the heavy storm of
Monday, which was at it's worst in the
evening, the people of Elk Grove and
Vicinity turned out in large numbers
TO hear Congressman Grove l.. johnson
speak on the issues of the day. Hon.
Thomas Mcconnell was Chairman of
the meeting and introduced Mr.. John
son with some very complimentary re-
marks.
The Congressman was at his best,
and spoke nearly two hours, receiving
frequent and vigorous applause
The meeting closed with three cheers
for Mckinley and three more for John
son, an expression of determination on
the part Of Republicans to carry Elk
Grove percinct by an old-fashioned ma
jCrity.
Had it not been for the stormy
weather the hall would not have held
one-third of the people that would
have come to hear the present and fu-
ture Congressman. De Vries' speech fell
flat in that town, and when Congress-
man Johnson spoke the contrast be-
tween the two men was so great that
the Democrats are apologizing for their
nominee.

the great meeting to be held in San
francisco on Saturday night. There
