ceased being surprised at anything, for
the people of Southern Minnesota have
given me surprise after surprise"
Mr.. Johnson is naturally somewhat
fatigued, but declared that he is stand
ing we'll the strain incident to making
speeches as often as three times a day,
and to the long journeys either by
train or by team. Reports received at
his headquarters say that his speeches
are increasing in effectiveness and that
he has developed into a wonderful
campaigner. AS new issues arise,
either through speeches or the news
paper attacks of the opposition. he
grasps them readily and discusses them
dispassionately but conyineingly.
F. G. Winston Is Strong
The feeling so strongly increasing,
that Mr.. Johnson'S election is practical
ly assured, is proving an inspiration to
the others on the state ticket with him.
f. G. Winston, candidate for lieutenant
governor, who has been campaigning
with Mr.. Johnson since the speaking
began, has made thousands of friends
throughout the state. He is a clean
cut, conservative business man, with a
business record which is the pride of
his friends and Of his party. In Min
neapolis he is expected to run ahead
of his party by hundreds of votes sim
ply because he is best known there
Out through the state he is rapidly ac-
curing an acquaintance that will bring
him votes, and when the voter stops
to make comparison between him and
Ray Jones, his Republican opponent
for lieutenant governor, he will not
hesitate before voting for Mr.. Win
ston.
]. T. McDermott, Democratic candi-
date for attorney general, has made a
number of speeches throughout the
state and will be on the stump almost
continually until the campaign closes.
Mr.. McDermott is a st. Paul lawyer
with fine reputation, and he is a
very convincing public speaker. He
has the advantage of being pitted
against E. t. Young, of Appleton, a
former state senator whose record in
the senate is such as to make him a
vulnerable candidate, and Mr. McDer-
motifs friends have every hope of his
success at the polls.
Entire Ticket Looks Like Winner
John E. King, candidate for secretary
of state, is one of the best known
newspaper men in the state. He has
Travelled extensively through the state
and has met with much encourage
ment. He is editor of a weekly news
paper at Red Lake Falls, and several
thousand Republicans who have long
known and admired him for his ability
will vote for him as a personal COM
pliment at the election. With the land
slide for Johnson that seems inevitable,
Mr.. King stands an excellent chance of
election.
Byron J. Mosier, candidate for state
treasurer, is one of the most popular
citizens of Saltwater, and if the voters
of his town had the settling of the
election he would win the Office with
out contest Mr.. Mosier has not been
making personal campaign as yet, but
he is expected to go out through the
state with some of the other candi-
dates and to make a hard fight for the
election, in view of the improved con-
ditions for his party ticket as whole.
H E. Hoard, of Montevideo, and w.
F. Kelso, of Hallock, candidates for
railroad and warehouse commissioner,
have added strength to the ticket. Mr..
Hoard is a newspaper man of long ex-
perience and sterling integrity. He is
strong in Southwestern Minnesota, and
will receive the solid support of large
acquaintance through that section. Mr..
Kelso is one of the Democratic land
marks Of the Red river valley. He
was a tried and true Democrat in that
section thirty years ago, and while he
did not seek the nomination, he is
making an active canvass for the

success.
Developments of the past week are
such. that not only John A. johnson
seems to be practically certain of cleo
ton, but with him the entire state
ticket looks like a winner.
