Alert, aggressive, athletic, lynx-eyed
and keen-witted, there stands a gladiator
guarding, like a sentinel on the wall,
the sacred interests of his people. In
vincible in debate, incisive with pen, a
sturdy champion of the right, an implac-
able foe Of evil-he is Mr.. w. D. John
son, of Louisville, editor of the Kentucky
Standard. No one individual has done
more to strengthen the NegrO'S grasp
upon public affairs in the Blue Grass
State than Mr. Johnson, and no single
influence did more 70 augment the great
wave toward republicanism in Kentucky
in the recent campaigns than the editor
Of the Kentucky Standard. Since 1892
he has led the van for reform and lib
eEal government, and at great personal
sacrifice. He deserves not only this ex-
PRESTON Of confidence and note of praise
but his merits should receive substantial
recognition at the hands of the party
national or State He has never
held public Office, but holds a license as
stenographer, granted by the State of
OHIO. Mr.. Johnson is a business man
OF the highest type. 1t is probable that
ne will soon launch in the city of Louis
vile an afternoon daily. Louisville has
$1,000 AtrO-AmeriCanS and thousands of
hg-hearted white people Mr. Johnson
believes they will support the kind of a

and student Of the conditions that beset
