alarmed atthe novel canvas Of Mayor Tom
L. Johnson, OF Cleveland. Democratic
candidate for Governor of Ohio. He is
now travelling over the State carrying
with him huge tent, wherein be speaks,
band of music, and an automobile at
the head Of the procession. Johnson is
bearing every cent of the expense. The
outfit cost him SIPS, 900 and the cost per
day IS estimated at about 81, 500. But
Johnson is worth 5000, 600 and can af-
ford to turn politics into circus if it
amuses him. He Is having lots of fun out
OF tie campaign, besides being sure that
ne will turn the State over into the Dem
