SURPRISE FOR JOHNSON
st. Peter Senator's Friends, 1rrespec-
tive of Party, Unite in a Tes-
timonial for Him. ~"

Special to The Journal. H. Il
St. Peter, Mimi, Nov. 2o.-One OF the
most enjoyable social events In the his
TORY Of Nicollet county took place last
evening at the residence Of Editor John,
A. Johnson of this city. Mr.. Johnson
was. elected senator four years ago on
the democratic. ticket in this strong re-
publican county. This year he ran again
and was defeated, by forty-two votes In a
county which gave majority Of 500 for
the republican state ticket. His friends,
without regard to political parties. planned
a surprise for him last night, taking his
wife into the secret and inviting him to
a dinner away from his home. When he
returned he found that his beautiful new
house had been invaded by about sew
enty-f1ve of his friends, who were In full
possession.
George NJ. Evenson presided and Judge
Chouinard for the assembled guests pre-
sented the senator with an elegant leather
chair. explaining that as Mr.. Johnson had
desired to give him another and better
one. Remarks were also made by A. L..
Sackett. DR.. Williams and w. II. Perry
of st. Peter and by H. P. Hall of ST..
Paul.
| Supper was then served and was fol-
lowed by a pleasing entertainment, to
which Al Flournoy,, of st. Paul con-
Anundson Of st. Paul and by Roland
Chouinard and DR.. Williams Of st. Peter.
Miss Lulu Ludcke accompanied on the
piano.
Mr.. Johnson made his acknowledge
mepts in very graceful speech in which
he said he would rather have this dis
play Of true friendship than the best Of
fee in the state.
The affair was the most striking testi-
monial ever carried out for a public or
private citizen of southern Minnesota.
People of St. Peter regard Mr.. Johnson's
defeat with more regret than he himself
feels. and this was voiced last night in
unmistakable terms.
Representative Hynes Of Rochester
wired his regrets at his inability to be
present, and Senator Charles of Norris,
who served with Mr.. Johnson, sent a COR
dial letter complimenting the st. Peter
man in the highest terms.
