LEADER IN INSURANCE REFORM
Whole Country Benefited by Action
Of Gov. johnson.

Having had some valuable expert
ence in recognizing a powerful Mime
sofa insurance company. Gov. John
son was well prepared to deal with
the emergency which arose when the
corruption and extravaganza OF the
management of the great national life
insurance companies was revealed in
1905. In November of that year, he
wrote a letter to President Roosevelt.
which placed him in the front rank of
national leaders. In this letter the
governor suggested a conference of
governors and attorney generals to be
called by the president at Chicago.
The conference was held In the follow
Ing February and Gov. Johnson, as its
chairman and dominant figure. named
the famous committee of fifteen
whose recommendations were en-
bodied In the law In Minnesota and
in about dozen ether states.
While the momentous decision re-
Gently given by the supreme court In
similar cases coming up from North
Carolina and Minnesota may have the
effect Of invalidating some OF the rail-
way legislation secured by Gov. John
son in Minnesota. the fact remains that
he has done what he set out to do and
secured the enactment of popular and
beneficent legislation. II. as now
seems probable. the epoch-making de-
cision Of the court In large measure
transfers railway legislation from the
states to the national legislature, it be-
comes OF particular significance that
one of the earliest acts of Gov. John
sons career as member of the Min

ton. OF memorial to congress to ex-
lend the powers Of the interstate COM

ante-dated the extension Of those DOW.

MAN THE NATION ReoUtaEs.
John A. johnson the Ideal Occupant
Of the Presidential Chair.

As president. Gov Johnson would
have the qualities that might described
as logically and historically needful
at this time, representing both IN
thought and by concrete achievement
all of the progressive reforms to which
the American people are now thorough
ly committed. His personality and
HIS methods are such that. coming into
office after the strenuous and even
terrifying political and financial ex-
periences of recent years. he would be
prepared to hold all that has been
gained. restore an era of good feeling
and smoothly and comfortably prepare
the way for such additional advanced
legislation as the times require. In
word, Gov. Johnson is precisely the
kind of leader the nation requires at
this time. ready for new legislation to
meet new needs, but careful and con-
sentative in his methods. The same
contidence-inspiring. vote getting at
tributes that have made Gov. John
son so popular in Minnesota that there
is absolutely no question that he
could carry the state as the Demo
cratic presidential nominee will make
him equally popular with the voters
Of the nation. once they have an OPP
portunity to become acquainted with
the man.
Every political campaign has Its in
diyidual conditions. IL is found In this
contest that Gov. Johnson possesses
strength peculiar to him alone and
by which he is certain to bring TO the
Democratic party upwards OF a million
votes in the middle west that have
hitherto been Republican. This condi-
ton insures beyond a reasonable
doubt victory for Democracy and Gov.
Johnson in the following states: Min
nesota. North and South Dakota, Iii
nois, Wisconsin. Iowa, Kansas. Ne
braska, Colorado. Montana, Washing
ton and Michigan.

The State Elaetion.

According to the latest imfor-
nation at hand before the Senti-
ael went to press, the returns have
peen very slow in coming and
only about half of the parishes
mad sent in official figures up to
Thursday morning. The fifth
Constitutional amendment that con-
,olidated the tax collectorships of
New Orleans, was the focus of
public interest and the indications
pointed TO its defeat owing TO the
overwhelming vote against it in
New Orleans. The result as far
as it stands was 1910 for the
amendment and 1864 against it.
10 this connection Governor
Sanders is quoted as saying in
reference to the probable defeat
OF the amendment. that if the
amendment was defeated a bill
would be passed through the
legislature curtailing the expense
