THOMAS / ] LAWSON
IS LAUDED BY
JOHNSON
Declares Foe to the System
A Will Accomplish All That
He Has Set Out to Do. .

Duluth, Feb. 12.-Governor John A.
Johnson Sof Minnesota arrived in the
city Saturday evening and is a guest
Of A. G. Weiss Of 1915 East Superior
street, where he was rendered recep-
ton Saturday evening. The governor
came to Duluth to deliver an address
under the auspices OF the Y M. G. "A.
Sunday afternoon. He returned to st.
Paul last night.
The governor is profoundly inn
pressed with the sincerity and ability
of Thomas Lawson to do all that he
hopes to, and claims he will do for
the policy holders of some Of the in
surance companies, notably the New
York Life and the Mutual, Life asso-
Citations. In an interview the governor
said: 81 ,s e
.'I spent last Thursday afternoon
with Mr.. Lawson and I am satisfied
with his apparent ability to- bring
about reorganizations of the insur-
ance companies that are engaging his
attention, and get restitution for the
/ policy holders Of the vast sums that
have been diverted to what, Mr.. Law
son calls the system. 4 He told me
that he has spent $3OO, 900 Of his own
funds thus far In the insurance fight
and that he expects that 1t will cost
him as much more before success
{ crowns his efforts. tss
The newspapers have questioned
Mr.. Lawson's motives. They have
intimated that he has some selfish mo-
tive in view, possibly ofice Of some
kind. He tells me that these re-
ports do him injustice, and / am con-
WINGED that they do. He says that he
& 5aspires to no Office, and will be sat
isfled sif he can obtain for the policy
holders their rights. II am on the
committee that Mr.. Lawson is organ.
$izing for this purpose. 4 have gone
over the whole matter carefully with
him and I am glad to be Of any service
to his committee. / am convinced that
Mr.. Lawson's only motive is to make
{ those who have profited at the expense
OF the policy holders disgorge. He
Considers that the officers Of these In
ylslIrance companies are mere stool
pigeons, and that 1t ii the members
of the system who have acquired the
bnik of the misc directed wealth.
Lawson expects to have full
control sof the insurance companies,
and after new boards Of directors
have been elected and restitution has
been made to the policy holders, his
work and the work ots the committee.

World Famous Pianist Missing From
Her Home.

Chicago, Feb. 12.-Mrs. Fannie
Bloomfield Zeisler, the world-famous
pianist, has disappeared from her
home and the police have been asked
by her husband to search for her.
Mrs. Zeisler has for some time been
suffering with melancholia and mem
bers of her family are apprehensive
that some harm has befallen her.
The chief cause of the mental de-
preston of Mrs. Zeisler was her fear
of becoming blind.
For more than year she had been
under the care of, a specialist, but her
sight did not materially improve. She
was greatly worried over the fact that
this might compel the abandonment of
her career as a pianist and constant
brooding over the matter at times
brought on attacks of pronounced mel
alcholia.

Lisbon, N. D., Feb. l2.--It has leaked
out here that Colonel Grant Hager,
recently visited Ransom county, and
although he remained but two days,
he appears to have created the great
est imaginable political disturbance.
The doughty colonel, who is noted for
his political acumen and for the re-
peated political successes he has
achieved in Pembina county, returned
from Ransom county with substantial
assurances that If he could succeed
In landing State Senator Pierce in the
United States senate. he would be in
a position to satisfy his long continued
ambition for consulship,-some-
where, at some time. 1t is expected
that Col. Hager will exhibit his bona

the interests of his candidate, and, if
he should conclude to do SO, there is
no telling what will happen.

WATCHING OUR Law.
Oregon People Hope Their Experience
Will Not Be Duplicated Here.

Especial to The. Evening Times.1
Salem, Ore, Feb. 12.-Former North
Dakotans who live here and in this
vicinity are much interested in the
workings of the new primary law in
North Dakota and are hopeful that
the experiences of the people of Ore
gon will not be visited upon your state.
We have here a primary law the result
OF much public clamor, engineered by
political insurgents, or men who
wanted to get into Office, and there
Is much disquietude in political cir
cles In consequence of the course the
campaign has already taken. The fact
Is that many democrats are register
Ing under the new law as republi-
cans, with a view to nominating weak
men on the republican ticket so that
they may be defeated at the polls. The
/ prediction is made here that, by man.
ipulations of this kind, Oregon, which
is not always safe republican state,
is likely to go over into the democra-
tic column. The democrats, of course.
have nothing to lose and everything
to gain. This state already has q
democratic governor, who recently ap-
pointed q democratic United States
senator.
II would be well for North Dakota
republicans to be on their guard and
see to it that the friends Of the demo-
sratic party, aided ny republican in
surgents are not permitted to turn the
state over to the party of destruction.
