The French authorities did all they
could TO prevent him from embarking on
such harebrained expedition for which
he was completely unified, having no
knowledge whatsoever of Arab character

everything in that line short of locking
him up. 1t is a pity that they did not

Lively Fight in Cleveland

In case Tom Johnson is nominated By
the Democrats for governor OF Ohio,
as he doubtless will be, having signf<
fed his willingness TO head the ticket,
it will be interesting TO watch the re-.
suit in Cuyahoga county, which en-.
braces the city OF Cleveland. Mayors
Johnson has twice carried the city By
majorities Of approximately 5000, al
though normally the city may be re-
garded as Republican Colonel Herrick. :
the Republican nominee, is a Cleve-'
lander, and is also popular in his homei
town johnson and Herrick are personaF
friends, but there is no point at which
their political opinions touch. There's
will be a lively campaign in Cleveland.
for naturally each man wants the in-i
dorsement OF his neighbors. and Mayor
Johnson will make an extraordinarily
hard fight for the reason that he much
desires the election OF a Democratic
deIegat ton TO the Legislature from Cuya-
hoga county
Mayor Johnson had a strong and popu-
lar man running against him last spring,
but nevertheless he won by a handsome
majority but the issues then involved
were entirely municipal. whereas in the
campaign this fall they viii be State
and as much national as the Republican
managers can make them. The chances
are that Mayor Johnson viii carry the
city, although his majority may not b
as large as il was when he ran for
mayor. Some of his friends, however, be-
lieve that it will be larger. and that he
is the only man whom the Democrats
could nominate who would be able TO
carry the city against Colonel Herricks
popularity
Whatever advantage Mayor Johnson
may be able 20 gain over Colonel Her
