sfWho is John W. JohnsonYv

VINO is John W. Johnson2'
Answer to this and to every other
question asked in the circular sent out
by Frank A. Day, chairman of the dem
ocratic state committee, in the "Too
Much Johnson controversy, is plainly
son himself.
John w. johnson lives at 1892 Irving
avenue S, Minneapolis. John w. John
son s residence is a new, modern eight
room house, which John w. johnson en-
joys as a "home' in every sense of the
word.
G"'.Who am II" said Mr.. johnson, re-
peating the query of journal reporter.
1'Well, am a Swede BY birth I was
born in Stockholm in 1864. In 1870 I
was brought to Minneapolis by my par
ents. Here I have resided ever since.
BY trade, am lather, and have been
actively engaged as such for seventeen
years." Altho Mr.. Johnson's appear
ance and his home surroundings would
indicate that he is something more than
day laborer, he insists that he is not
even a contract lather, and that he
simply works for a daily stipend. He is
smooth shaver, Of light complexion,
plainly but neatly dressed, with spare
figure close to six feet in height.

the chairman of the democratic state
committee asks in public circular.

AWKWARD MAKES GOOD IN.
PRESTON IN MANIT0W0C

John A. Awkward, one Of the candi.
dates for the nomination for governor
on the democratic ticket, was in the city
last Thursday night and gave IN address
at the courthouse before gathering of
more than 100 men, of whom ninety or
more were democrats. The speaker was
introduced by Mr.. Harry Kelley. Atty.
Awkward began his address shortly after
s o'clock, and it was nearly ten by the
time he got through talking. He had
no difficulty in holding the undivided at
tention of all present throughout his
able discourse, which was truly demo
cratic in every sense of the term.
Mr.. Aylward is a genuine democrat
one whose principles are thoroughly in
accord with those Of the nations great
democratic leader, William jennings
Bryan. This Mr.. Awkward demonstrated
to the satisfaction of every democrat
that heard his address here last Thurs
day evening. Awkward is a man who
has made his mark rs a man among men
as lawyer Of worth and ability, and as
an able advocate of true Jetfersonian
and Organic democracy. He impressed
the democrats of Manitowoc as being u
man of gubernatorial dimensions in
every sense Of the expression.
When boy of sixteen he went TO
work az section hand, receiving 81 q
day. He was steadily employed ut that
work for three summers. In the winter
he taught q country school. After he
had saved a few hundred dollars he
entered the state university, from which
institution he graduated in 1892 He
then taught high school for five years,
after which he took course in the
college of law Mt Madison. He has prac-
ticed law at the capital city for the last
sixteen years, and has met with distin.
gushed success in his chosen profession.
He has served rs city attorney of Madi-
son for eight years
If Mr.. Awkward shall win out at the
primary election next Tuesday, the
democratic electorate of the state will
have u gubernatorial candidate who pos.
sesses the qualities of winner.

ALL DEMOCRATIC VOTERS
SHOULD ATTEND PRIMARY.

Every democratic voter who can ar
range to attend the polling place in his
precinct on Primary Election day-next
Tuesday, Sept. 4th-should make 1t
point to go to the polls on that day and
participate in the nominating of candi-
dates.

voted Democratic electors cannot assist
in nominating republican candidates,
and vice versa. Democrats cannot vote
for a republican candidate without los

primary. Each party must nominate
its own candidates.
The primary election is not contest
between parties. 1t is merely contest
within each party, between the support
ers of the candidates Of the same party,
where there are two or more candidates
for the same office; and where there Is
but one candidate, there is no contest.
In the latter case the vote becomes a

But, no matter how few or how many
candidates there may be for the demo
cratic nomination for any or all offices,
it is to the interest of the democratic
party that every democratic elector of
the county should go to the polls on
primary election day and vote the demo
cratic ticket. The larger the democrat
ic vote polled, the more democratic
enthusiasm will be aroused after the
nominations shall have been made; and
the greater the interest the democratic
electorate shall evince at the coming
primary, the brighter will be the chances
for a democratic victory, in the county
and in the state, at the November cleo
ton. Therefore, let every democratic
voter in the county make up his mind
to go to the polls next Tuesday.

INFECTION BY INGESTION.

The most frequent cause of infection
by ingestion is due to the use of tuber
culous milk or meat as food. DR.. f. w.
Smith of the tuberculosis committee of
the state board of health of New York,
whose experience is considerable says
that the milk from cows with tubercu-
lous udders possesses virulence which
can only be described rs extraordinary.
DR.. NJ. p. Raveusi of the veterinary de-
partment of the | University of Pennsyl-
vania, in an article read before the
American Health association, showed
that in northern Norway Sweden, Lap
land aud Finland, where reindeer consti.
tute the bulk of farm animals, and the
islands of the Pacific, where no cattle
exist, tuberculosis is far less prevalent
in man. Particularly dangerous, on the
contrary, seems to be the region where
cattle are housed and the people live in
close proximity to them, as for example,
in Italy. This condition caused Perron-
eta to call tuberculosis the scourge or
man or beast The extreme frequency
of tuberculosis in cattle has led to CON
certed action on the part of most Euro
pean governments. England has its roy
al commission to investigate the spread
of tuberculosis in domestic animals
France has its permanent section on vet
Urinary medicine, and Germany has
most vigorous laws and regulations in
connection with bovine tuberculosis.
The individual can only protect himself
against the ingestion of tuberculous sub
stances by sterilizing all the milk and
thoroughly cooking all meats of doubtful
origin Infection from the ingestion of
tuberculosis bacilli is also possible by
the patient soiling his hands with the
expectoration directly or through the
medium of soiled haudkerchiefs and
then touching his food, thus conveying
the bacilli to the digestive organs. 1t
may also he conveyed by kissing, caress
ing domestic pets, etc.
INFECTION BY INOCULATION.
That tuberculosis can be conveyed
by incubation has been proven both by
experiments and by observation of pa
tients who were accidentally infected by
handling articles laden with sputum
and tubercular secretion of those affect
ed with the disease. Many cases are re.
ported in medical literature of persons
who suffered with some slight and insig
nificant abrasion of the skin, and were
ipoculated by handling cuspidors, hand.
kerchiefs, etc, used by tuberculosis pa
tients. From the above remarks you
will observe that tuberculosis il con-
tagious disease like scarlet fever and
smallpox The only difference is that
the different stagee of the disease extend
