JOHNSON TO THE PORE
[From the Minneapolis journal. ]

[E'rom the Minneapolis Journal
Tom L. johnson of Cleveland. is
coming man. If he lives and keeps his
health he will soon be a great power in
national politics. Mr.. johnson has rout%
ed the Mclean forces in Ohio, In Gin
cinnati even. In the same manner he
will rout the forces of the Bourbon De-
mocracy everywhere when his oppor-
tunity comes.
Times are changing. the Democratic
party is changing and johnson Is the
man for the times. It is apparent to all
that, after eight years of Organism, the
old mossback Democracy can never
again be in power. Likewise, Organism
is dead. But out of Organism Will
spring the Democracy of the future, the
Johnsonian Democracy. The question
of controlling and regulating great cor
porations is at the top, the question OF
public ownership Of public utilities,even
railways and telegraphs, is coming to
the top, so is reformed taxation. With
these new ideas, these new forces in
politics johnson has been identified
since the time the public first heard OF
him.
The fact that johnson is millionaire,
that he has shown himself amply able
ly of our present Industrial system. re-
1ieves him from the charge of being q
disgruntled sorehead, anxious for
change on the theory that he can't be
worse off than he Is.
The millionaire who takes the popular
side will never lack for followers. The
confiding common people take 1t Tor
granted that the man who is not con-
fho Ma nd r,riui1opaa
of wealth but takes up the cudge1s in
their behalf is trustworthy. It is Mira
beau and Orleans again. johnson is
progressive, reforming, dissatisfied with
present conditions, anxious to replace
them with better.
Beneath it's sloughing free silver skin
the Bryan Democracy is Democracy
of revolt and dissatisfaction. Bryan
told it that the gold standard was what
troubled it. that free silver was what
would cure it. But the Democracy
knows Bryan to be a false prophet.
Nevertheless it still looks for prophet.
still looks to the future instead of the
past And Tom johnson will be it's
prophet
Those respectable old Democrats who
still look for the coming of a day when
the Democracy will have no issue but
free trade might as well give up their
hopes. Their conservative old Democ-
racy with its talk about Jefferson and
a government with minimum powers,
with its devotion to individualism, it's
belief in laissez faire, is gone forever
The new Democracy, fathered by Bryan.
is q radical, somewhat socialistic De-
mocracy and Tom johnson will be its
leader.

defense will be that DeBarrows' place
of business was next door to a joint.
and that the Indians who accuse De-
Barrows of selling them liquor were
drunk and made q mistake in telling the
number of the place; that when they
came to point out the place where they
