WASHINGTON, D. c., June 90
The Johnson boom Is the latest. For
president and vice president on the
democratic ticket in 1908, the 2
Johnsons-John A. Johnson, of
Minnesota, and Tom Johnson, OF
Ohio.
And this is no joke. A real live
boom Is on for John A. Johnson for
president. The south has been
sounded and the democratic leaders
In many OF the northern states have
been felt out with favorable results.
The reports from the south come
from John E. King. state librarian
of Minnesota, who went to Ashe-
vile, N. c., some days ago osten-
sibly to attend library convention.
King went to other states In addi-
ton to North Carolina and the
Johnson propaganda has been
quietly spreading.
In brief the boomers argument
is this: A man who can single out
a strong republican northern state
and carry it for the democracy

for, as will also the minor officials
of both departments.

ICE CHEAPER THIS
SUMMER

Although the summer season is
well advanced. ice is still selling at
practically what 1t closed at last
fall, and dealers say there is no
prospect of an increase, as they are
well stocked up. The price to fam
lilies now is from 60 to rs cents per
100 pounds, according to quantity
purchased.
Prior to the breaking of the COM
bine last summer that had con-
trolled prices for years, ice sold at
l cent a pound. Evidently the COM
bine is ineffective this season or
has been contented with q lower
rate than that formerly demanded.
