land and LOrain.
At the head of the procession was May
or Johnson in a big red automobile, &C
companied by his son Loftin, chauffeur
and his valet. Next came Colonel Wagner
in a runabout wagon. Then followed the
heavy wagons.
The people along the route all turned
out to see the show pass. At first they
thought it was a genuine circus, and they
imagined the wagons were filled with Wild
and ferocious beasts OF all descriptions.

understand that if it was a circus it was Of
a political character. BY the time Lorain
was reached the whole country had been
aroused, and every voter was anxious 10
go to the show and hear what Mr.. John-
son had to say.
The mayor did not have such fine
time his first day out, however. his
automobile was too swift for the slow
wagons, and he got far ahead OF the
procession. Finally he lost the way and
had TO go about twelve miles around
through this Lorain county mud before
he reached his destination. But he dashed
up to the hotel in Lorain with flourish
of trumpets which attracted as much at
tention as did the old time circuses.
Then he had to go to the barber shop
to get shaved and brushed OF, and It
required the services of a policeman TO
keep back the crowd that congregated-
That night after the meeting the mayor
started back to Cleveland in the automo-
bile, but he soon. got stuck in the mud and
turned back to Lorain, going home by
train. The next day he was out with the
automobile, and he arrived in Norwalk
almost as soon as the tent had been
pitched.
There he decided to get a taste of
genuine circus life, so he slept in one
of the small tents with several of the
other speakers. During the night 1t
rained, and the tent was surrounded with
sea of mud in the morning. When the
mayor had been awakened and informed
that breakfast would soon be ready he
decided that he did not care for more of
that sort of thing. Getting into his damp

Albany, Ca, Sept 8, 1902.
Editor of The Journal: Having read the
close calls of so many old vets of different
regiments, have often wondered why 1
have never seen one from a member of
the old Fourth Georgia, regiment that
had as fine a record as any from the
state. What has become of Bill Hurlburt,
Charley Tim Furlow, Bob Ridly. Eugene
Black, Bill Evans, DR.. Philpot, Bob
Childs and many others I can't now rs
call. All of those were commissioned of
ficers and could, If they would, give some
very interesting articles Of the heroism,
etc., of that gallant old regiment. Why
don't one or more of the old boys NELL
toned give us one, and 1 am sure others
would follow.
For several years after the war this old
regiment had reunions, which were en-
joyable, and were kept up till the requi-
site number to obtain reduced rates fail
ed to come and was abandoned. There is
to be a division reunion at Columbus in
the month of October, and If the boys
mentioned above will exert themselves
only a little bit, 1 firmly believe that

clothing as well as he could, he called
his valet, and the two went to the VIII
lage hotel, where they had breakfast
Then the mayor hustled back to Cleve-
land to give his attention to the citys
business. He did not remain long, how
ever. In the afternoon he took train,
for Norwalk. jumped into the automobile
there and was taken over to Bellevue,
which place he reached in time for the
evening meeting.
The tent has been moved each day
since. In il the mayor has spoken In
dozen or more towns in western Ohio.
He will swing around to the east again
and stop at most of the towns in NORTH
ern Ohio before election day. 1t is not
his purpose to go south Of Columbus.
He will leave that part of the state to
other speakers.
One meeting is like all the others.
After dinner at D. m. the band pa
rades the town, not to gather the crowd,
for that gathers itself, but to make some
noise. as Johnson put it, When the con-
cert is over, the big show begins. With
johnson are all the state candidates. who
travel by train. Local candidates are al
so invited to speak. And several days be-
fore arrival of the circus local Republi-i
can leaders receive personal letters FROM
Johnson inviting them to speak. He
pledges them courteous treatment and
fair share of the time.
If they accept, as two or three have.
to their everlasting regret, he puts
pointed questions to them concerning tax
alton and public service franchise. They,
try to apologize and this gives him the
chance he has waited for. The crowd al,
ways hugely enjoy this "act."
This is the mayors campaign. Hs
makes all the arrangements for 1t, in
dependent of the state committee, and
it Is said that he foots the bills, which
amount to something over $1,000 a day,
The <ent is crowded every night, and IL
is likely to continue an attraction OF thei
campaign.
The Republicans are feeling the effects
of the mayors work. and they are fig
uring on sending out a special railroad
train with Senator Hanna and other
spellbinders on board. They hope in that
way to cover in one day as much ground
as Johnson can cover in a week, and
thus make up the time they have lost
since he began his campaign

- LEVELAND. Sept. 22.-No political
campaign in recent years has at
tracted more attention than has
the one which Tom L. Johnson is
now conducting in Ohio.
The mayor is a believer in novelty.
His main purpose is to attract voters.
When he has done that he trusts to the
force of the issues he presents to win their
votes.
Several years ago when johnson was
running for congress and winning victo-
Ties in the strongly Republican Twenty
first district of Ohio he found that joint
debate was good drawing card. He
found, Furthermore, that voters could not
easily be induced to crowd into a close
and stuffy hall. Therefore he decided to
purchase a tent.
He moved the tent every day, speak
ing in a new section of his district each
evening. The tent and the joint debate
drew the voters and johnson trusted to
luck to beat the other fellow or at least
make the voters believe he had beaten
him.
The experiment proved so successful in
the congressional campaign that John
son tried the tent again when he ran for
mayor a year ago last spring. Again it
proved an attraction to the voters.
When he undertook to manage the cam
Il guess we had better get out the tent
and make it circus campaign" His fol-
lowers approved the suggestion, and 1t
would have made no difference If they
had not. Johnson was running the cam
paign and what he thought should be
done was done.
But the tent could not move itself, so
the mayor employed Colonel c. J. Wag-
ner, an old Snowman, to take charge of
the transportation. A dozen wagons were
purchased to carry the tent, poles and
seats, more than a score of horses were
purchased to draw the wagons, and 20 or
more men were hired to do the. actual
work of putting up and taking down the
tent, caring for the baggage, cooking the
food for the showmen, and looking after
the other details. These men were dressed
In natty uniforms Of khaki and white.
The show started from Cleveland a
week ago last Friday. The first stop was
at Lorain, 40 miles away, where the open
ing meeting of the campaign was to be
held. The trip was made in a day, the
