The governor said he would not call
an extra session until Senator Mcmillan
made his appointments, and that start
ed talk against the party cry of pros
perity, the corporations and monopo-
lists and Doodle politicians.
"Oh, but your party didn't feel that
way in Ohio" said Johnson. Did it?"
Hang the party" retorted the gov
ernor. II hit where and when 1 think
it right"
Eyes, that is why l like you said
Johnson, shaking him by the hand,

do to help out the people?"
II am going to raise row, that is
what am going to do"
And 1 will raise the fares" retorted
Johnson, who controls the Cleveland
