Republicans Continueto Swing
Into Line for the Demo-
cratic Candidate


John A. Johnson is proving himself
eampaIgner second to no man who
has .canyassed the state as a guberna-
torial candidate in the last decade. Re-
ports being received at the Democratic
state headquarters and from men
throughout the state who have been
at the hotels during the past few days
all unite in saying that were it a
physical possibility for Mr.. Johnson to
speak in every village and city in the
state his election would be by at least
$4,000 votes.
Mr.. Johnson is speaking twice a
day almost every day. He holds an
afternoon meeting and then an even
ing meeting, but it is beyond human
endurance to do any more than this,
and the Democratic state committee
Will not attempt to have him address
more than two meetings daily unless
IN the last week. of the campaign in
the Twin Cities, when he may address.
three or four ward meetings each even
ing. 4
One of the finest tributes that can
be paid manswas contained in a let
ter received yesterday by Chairman
Frank A. Day, of the state committee,
from A. Weiss, publisher of the Duluth
Herald. Mr.. Weiss accompanied Mr.
Johnson and Mr.. Winston on their
tour of st. Louis county last week.
Johnson Wins the Voters
II want to say to you that Johnson
made very favorable impression in
this city and county on his recent tour
Everybody. is in love with him, and
you may rest assured that c1e is going
to get very large vote in st. Louis
county, in spite of the fact that it is
what is termed the S'enemy's country
Il, myself, never really got acquaint-
ed with johnson until this trip and I
must say for him that to my idea, and
/ have heard aargreat many public
speakers, Twill match the personality
of John A. Johnson on the platform
against any other speaker ever heard
in my life, and L think it will win him
more votes" s4 r~ $50 .
A st. Pau, man who was in Rice
county last Saturday, when Johnson
and Winston spoke at Mortified and
Faribault, says that in that Republic
an stronghold the same fine impress
sion as. given elsewhere was, created
by the candidates for governor and
lieutenant governor. .le..sssr5
Men drove fifteen miles from their
homes in the country to hear Mr.. John
son and they went up. to, him at. the,
close of the meeting and assured him
that pthey and their sons s would vote
for him. There were men, old G., A, r.
veterans, whom Ivhave known to my
personal knowledge have not voted for
a Democratic. Candidate for any office
outside 1ofl some. minor county Office
inltheir lives, who pledged Htheir sup q
port to Mr.aJ ofinson ,sand they are men
who cannet.be changed by any waving
of the party lash. ~ r
Is. Believe Dunn Unfit for Office
The whole agricultural district of
southern Minnesota is aroused. They
do not believe that r. G.. Dunn is fit
man. to be governor of this great state,
and no pleadings Of the politicians can
change their views They say that
what their party needs this year is
reverse and that it will be the best
thing for the party. They propose to
do what they can to bring about the
publication. They are all on the rural
free delivery routes, read the daily
and weekly papers and are as fully
conversant~ with the political situation
in this state as any men in the state.
Rice county will prove cone of the
greatest surprises in the whole state
for the Republican managers when the
votes are counted"
