=. Contrary to the orders Of his .physi-
clan, John A. johnson, accompanied by
f. G. Winston, dashed from place to
place in an automobile last evening,
IN widely different parts of the city.
Mr.: johnson, who has been Ill for sew
eral days. past, was suffering with a
fever and in poor condition to speed
over dark roads in a motor car and
make speeches, yet at every. place he
visited he spoke for about ten minutes.
His remarks were always to the point,
and he was received with great enthu-
hall being taxed to hold the crowds.
In all, he addressed over 5000 people,.
Three double-seated autos were used.
The first, covered touring car, was
occupied by Messrs. johnson and Win
ston and M. Breslauer, democratic state
committeeman, who had charge Of the
dashi9g tour. A second car; was; &c;
cup1ed by newspaper men. A third
contained DR.. G. H. Kohler, candidate
for congress, and T. j. McDermott, can
didate for attorney general, and W. H.
Williams, and preceded the other two,
Kohler and McDermott speaking first
and generally concluding at each PLACE
just about as Johnson and Winston
would arrive. .-.-:1
After an early supper at the Nicollet
at 5 o'clock, the party left for the
Camden Place tent at $40. In fifteen
minutes the powerful autos had brought
the party to their destination. There
it was found there had been a mistake
in advertising the meeting, the early
hour not being designated: So the
party waited an hour and then adj
dresses were made to some $50 people,
who crowded the tent. -. =.
A .ten-mlnute spin over an unllghted
rough road, next brought the speakers to
the hall at .Thirtieth and Washington at
7:40. Leaving here at 1855 4atzmer Is

crowded house when h the democratic
gubernatorial party arrived, his geog

The hall at 937 Central was the rex
place made, the arrival being at 9:2s
after a fve-minute run. Seven minutes
later the party was off again, this tim'
for long dash to Humboldt and West
ern avenue in the fourth ward. TIL
Johnson Winston car led, and all wen

leading car tires punctured. =.
To ask the gubernatorial nominee, II
as he was, to stand the additional jog
cling of going over dark streets with

Cpected. Accordingly the newspaperme1
surrendered: their cara speedier ma
