D
cred head and shoulders above his col
leagues, and has done more than Ma
guire and all our other Congressman
com blned in the true interest of Cali
fornia. Mr.. Johnson has proven him
self to be conservative and broad
guaged statesman and he has dared
to do what was right when his
motives were impugned by those who
have done more to build up this COM
monwealth than they could do though
they lived to be thousand years old.

As far as Grove L. Johnson is con-
cerned, we give him credit for being
in advance of the party which nomi-
mated him. They passed. a resolution
opposing the funding bill. He does
not beat around the bush, but boldly
favors the funding of the railroads
Indebtedness. We are with him on
that proposition, inasmuch as we be-
lieve the Government has enough to
attend to without going into the rail-
road business, but we are feminist
him on the financial question, which
we believe to be the paramount issue
in this campaign.

He has advanced into the light Of
coming success the claims OF Cali
fornia against the Federal Govern
ment for nearly $4,000 900, which,
when converted into the State Treas
ury, will amount practically to gift
of relief to the taxpayers. For more
than quarter of a century our Con-
gressmen have wrestled with this
claim fruitlessly. It remained for
Congressman Johnson to devise and
start to success plan of getting the
money; plan that has already re-
ceived the approval of that depart
ment of the Governmep that has
heretofore proved the insurmountable
obstacle in the path of success.
His record of protection, his advo-
cacy of putting a stop to foreign i'm
migration, his work in getting large
appropriation for our rivers, where
other Congressman have failed, and
his success in getting the Govern
ment to recognize California's claim
to the 100000 spoken of, entitle
him to reelection in this district.

There are many reasons why Grove
L. Johnson should be elected to Con-
gress which address themselves to all
the people of the Second District.
Here, then, are good reasons
why Butte County and this district
should elect Grove l.. Johnson. There
is another that should clinch the mat
ter-he is a stalwart and unyielding
champion of protection of American
industries; bimetallist, he neverthe-
less places protection of labor and the
products of Aemrican labor first and
foremost, believing that without that
engrafted upon the National policy it
matters very little what change is
made in our present financial system.
(San Francisco Chronicle)
The logic of the Republican cam
paign requires the party to stand by
its candidates for Congress without
reference to issues which are not ma
tional or destructive of personal in
fuence. There is but one way for the
party to look at Mr.. Johnson and that
is the Republican way. He stands
for tariff on wool and upon every
other commodity produced in this
State which is subject, under low
duties, to foreign competition in the
American market. That, to Cali
fornia, is the thing of first impor-
tance. Without protection our indus
tries four years hence will be pros
trate. Grove L. Johnson would vote
to save them; his opponent to subject
them to all the ills of a tariff for
revenue only.
(Nevada Transcript)
By his intelligence and force he has
attained to a position of influence in
Congressional circles, and we find in
Mr.. Johnson elements of worth not
possessed by his opponent or by any
other candidate who has ever run for
Congress in the Second District. He
ought to be and will be returned to
the position he has graced by his ex-
ceptional abilities.

Vote for Grove L. Johnson, the
author of the bill to ''put up the bars
and haul in the gang plank at Castle
Garden'-to restrict immigration and
give the laboring men now here less
competition, more work and better
wages.
Lodi Sentinel)
AS matter Of fact, his is the only
correct view to take of the funding
proposition. It is the only means
whereby the Government can obtain
every cent due from the railroad.
Johnson, with the experience of one
terms active work, can do more for
this district than any other man
whom the voters can elect.
(West Point Mystic)
Grove L. Johnson will be returned
to Congress from this district because
the people have confidence in his abil-
ity to effect something for his con-
stituents.

Hon. Grove L. Johnson should be
elected by such majority as will adj
minister deserved rebuke to the
Examiner" That scurrilous sheet
has gone out of it's way in caricatur-
ing most faithful public servant.
Mr.. Johnson has fulfilled every prom
ise to the miners to the letter. He has
labored untiringly for his constitu-
ents.
(Marysville Appeal)
Grove L. Johnson should be re-
elected to Congress because he has
been remarkably efficient during his
first term in advancing all the inter
ests of his district. He has begun
the work of securing for the State the
