DEMOCRATS OF OHIO
MEET AT SANDUSKY
Preliminary Conferences Of
State Convention.
JoHNsoN's PRESIDENTIAL BOOM,

Friends of clsvsIand's Mayor Are Max
ing This an Occasion For Bringing
Him Into Prominence as Candidate
In 1904.
Sandusly, O., Sept. 2.-The prelim'
mary conference Of the Democratic
state convention were held here today
with the drift of sentiment strongly
in favor of the candidates and the
platform proposed by Mayor Tom l..
Johnson, of Cleveland, who is to be
the presiding officer of the convention
and who is regarded as a candidate
for governor next year and for presi-
dent the following year
1t is generally conceded that Mayor
Johnson will be directly interested in
the outcome of the Ohio Democratic
state convention in 1903 and of the
national Democratic convention in
1904 and his friends are making the
present convention an occasion for
bringing him into special prominence.
AS a member of congress and mayor
of Cleveland and as a radical advO-
cate of taxation systems, he has Sc
cured large following, which is now
organizing to make him presidential
candidate. The first general move
ment was in securing his selection by
the state central committee TO preside
over this convention with a view TO
furthering his interests In the two sub
sequsnt campaigns
Mayor Johnson is now candidate
for anything, but he is certainly the
hero OF this occasion. The banners
Of HIS headquarters are conspicuously
displayed and his rooms are visited
by all.
His friends insist that If he should
directly succeed in Ohio this year
and directly next year, that he will
then be the logical candidate for the
national nomination in 1904.
The delegates concede that Mayor
Johnson should now name the state
ticket and dictate the platform, as he
is more interested than any one else,
and they also say If Johnson can win
in year of such minor Importance in
state affairs as this, that they will be
more interested in him than in any one
else.
The friends of other leaders, nota.
bly, those of John R. Mclean, claim
that Mayor Johnson will be held re-
sponsible this yean for defeat if the
party fail as well as great credit for
success in the event of his new depart.

Mr.. A. B. GTRARDEAU, Savannah, Ga.
DEAR SR:-SOme years ago operated float
ing saw-mill on the Savannah River. My base of
operations was being constantly changed, and my
hands were always exposed to the worst malarial
influences. I employed over one hundred hands,
and the work was conducted as much in water as
out of it, For this reason, in August and Septem-
Der there was great loss of time and business, on
account of sickness among the workers.
My attention was then called to Johnson's Chill
and Fever Tonic, and ! determined to give the
medicine trial. / procured it, and those who
were sick put on this treatment and those who
were feeling badly were at once given the Tonic
In a short time every one ofthe one hundred hands
was well and reported for duty; and from that time
on l used nothing else but JohnsOn's Tonic, and
never had another case of fever.
Yours very truly,
J. r. LASSITER.
