Mobile News: Governor Johnston's in- nuenoe extends beyond the borders of Ala bama. His views on public questions are eagerly sought by the great newspaper managers of the country His opinions are of general interest. He Is known all over the country as a business man and a broad minded statesman, and he will have much to do with the shaping of public policy in the next few years, and if he shall not be at all times in touch with the most pro- gressive and liberal men of the country the men who are to destroy the barriers in the way of commerce and trade-we shall be greatly disappointed We believe that he will always be in sympathy and active cooperation with the men who are to make this country greater than it is or ever has been, and he will do more than any other man in public for the state of Alabama. He knows what is needed here in Mobile, and we know that he is willing to do all that he possibly can to advance the inter- ests of the city. We think that Governor Johnston expressed his ideas very clearly in his Labor Day speech and that the ideas which he expressed show that he is in sympathy with the spirit of the time.

GOV. JOHNSTON'S SPEECH

Mobile Item: The Age-Herald believes that the speech of Governor Johnston on Labor Day at the raising of a flag in Dun can Square, Mobile, presents a platform broad enough to hold all patriots, which in- cludes, of course, all democrats. The es- teemed Birmingham journal would have thought so if it's representative could have heard the demonstrations of approval which it called forth from the thousands assem- bled to hear it.
