The Johnson campaign. which has been so gratifying to- the supporters of Governor John A. Johnson will be closed tonight with final rally at the Grand Theatre. The winding up speakers win be Hon. P. O.. .Strenme of Minnesota and Hon. J. N. Miller of Camden.
 The Johnson men express absolute confidence of carrying Montgomery County. A well known local business man who takes an active interest In political affairs, was out on the streets yesterday offering to bet any amount of money that Johnson would carry the city beats. If there is any Bryan riohey fri sight on this proposition send 1t to me-" he said T have sounded the sentiment in the city to my own satis- faction and I stand ready to bet any amount that Johnson carries the seven city beats. I am told that he will also carry the country beats. but I don't know that. But am so 'satisfied that the city beats win go for Johnson that am ready to back my, judgment"
 The men who backed the Johnson movement. in Montgomery, say they are very. much surprised, at the strength and interest 1t has aroused. When It was begun. they hoped only to get, a good vote for JollnRon in he, County IT they do. not haVe e s sandsonie hn4Jor fly now they will be disappointed.
 The meeting tonight win be the hnal outburst of enthusiasm of the Johnson men. It Is probable that 8 local speak CT will also occupy the platform with Messrs Stromme and Miller. but this Is not certain. The promoters of the meeting say they do not want the pro- gram to be so long as to be tiresome. The speaking will begin at S:30 o'clock tonight and all voters are invited to come out and hear the reasons why Governor Johnson Is considered the most available man for the Democrat 7 Chairman Alex Troy of the Johnson Campaign Committee said yesterday that hc had besn at some pains to learn the state of political sentiment in the smaller towns about Montgom- cry He he'd questioned. visitors to as- certain if the strong sentiment for Johr~ on in Montgomery was unusual. He was informed that the same sentl- ufent existed in nearly all the towns of Middle Alabama. From what he has heard Chairman Troy believes that in inc smaller towns the sentiment for Joh nson Is quite as strong as 1t Is In MontKomery. The Johnson meeting for tonight Is being duly advertised. A great deal of Johnson Literature" has been sent out in the County and llthoRraphs of the Minnesota Governor are ornamenting many public places in the city.
