Among the notable events last week
may be named fhesre-election of Carter
Harrison as mayor of Chicago Reform
Jones as mayor-=of~Foledo and the cleo
ton of Tom Johnson as mayor of Cleve-
land. Mr.. Johnson is millionaire who
has won distinction as a street railway
magnate. He tsGalso an ardent advocate
of the economic theories promulgated by
the late Henry George. Having aecumu-
lated large fortune, Mr. Johnson prob
ably entered the mayoralty contest IN
Cleveland with thes,intention of aspiring
to higher honors If he carried off the
mayoralty prize. Next fall Ohio will
elect governor, and it is possible that
Mr.. Johnson is now in training for the
Democratic nomination, Or, If he desires
to figure in nationaH politics, he may be a
candidate for the United States senate,
to succeed Mr.. Foraker. Mr.. Johnson IS
not the kind of a man to be content with
the mayoralty of Cleveland except as
a .stepping-stone to a more exalted sta
tion AS he is an able and energetic cam
pa1gner and also possesses a barrel
his influence will doubtless be felt enOhio
politics in future contests, and make
things lively for his fellow townsman,
