About Johnson.

As time wears on the figure of John s.- o aSh son looms up bigger and pie- ser on the Democratic horizon. A few snssrins ct the possibility of the nom instlon or the iong-legged North west erner. Lately there has been a con stant esfies of press notices enanating largely the possibilities of Johnson havo grown.
 We are In no wise deeryins the abli- lties of William Jennings Bryan when S sfy aoss f w pnrtS Ss no 5oSn.on asas1 nominated at Denver. He Is one of the new type of politicians who know notn- lng about politics. but devote theT of New Y York TX s1nsffto snd Roosevelt. Jon nson appoints men because they can do the work. not because they arc of his par ty; he advocates measures because the people want them. not because the pol pie that elected him. not for the poii- ticlans that seek to control him,
 Therefore the Democratic party need wins the noInination at Denver. John son has the advantage of coming uP from the ground floor, as it were, or working his way up from the deptns; through. hs a p'fRlss srsan %ins %nn thsiT heads. Johnson their hearts.
