New Ulm review. (New Ulm, Brown County, Minn.) 1892-1961, 1908-04-22
JOHNSON TO LAND ILLINOIS
Chicago Democrats Now Regard
His Chances as Better Than
Bryan's.
They Also Aver That as Illinois
Goes so Goes the Convention
at Denver.
Strong johnson Resolution to be
introduced Into Gathering at
Springfield Tomorrow.

Illinois with its ffty-four national
delegates is very likely to be trans
ferred bodily to the presidential lineup
of Governor John a. Johnson at the
democratic state convention in SPRING
field tomorrow.
This is possible in spite of an APP.
parently futile attempt by National
Committeeman Roger G. Sullivan to
put stop to the johnson movement
in his state.
Indications are that determined
spirit favorable to the Minnesota gov
ernor is rampant among the delegates
who have been chosen, and Sullivan
is placed in the peculiar situation of
attempting to control the state conven-
ton in behalf Of instructions for
Bryan.
The declaration was made by a
state leader Monday that even Mr..
Sullivan, who is committed openly to
Bryan and wishes an instructed Bryan
delegation, cannot stop the johnson
talk, which is reported from half
dozen different sections of the state.
Unless Sullivan and his lieutsnants
who are now supposed to be in con-
troll Of the convention since the fizzle
of the out-and-ont Bryan movement,
use stringent measures to hold the
delegates in line for Bryan, the con-
ventioE is likely to take the control in
its own hands and either indorse or
instruct for Johnson, or at least send
an uninstructed delegation to Denver.
This statement is made on the au-
thority of an Influential democrat who
is certain to be member of the COM
mittee on rules. He announced Mon
day that he had drawn Johnson re-
solution and would fight for it in the
committee and on the floor of the con-
vention.
AS goes Illinois, SO goes the nation,
figure the Johnsonites. Every unin-
structed delegation is counted for the
Minnesotan by his political managers
and if Illinois cal be landed, with or
without instructions, it is figured that
Johnson is as good as nominated.
Rev. A. Dasher of St. James was in
the city yesterday calling on friends.
