Tom johnson Meets Bryan.
Tom L. Johnson, mayor of CIeve-
land, who arrived at 1915 this morn
ing, anticipated the arrival of dele
cations in order to have quiet half
hour with the candidate Mr. John
son, who is credited with being more
radical than Dir. Bryan, gave Mr.. Bry-
an first hand information of the fac
tional fight in Ohio. 1t is this fight
which makes it apparently certain
that NJ. Z. ingalls,, recently mentioned
as a vice-presidentiaI candidate, can
not get the undivided support of his
own state.
Mr.. Johnson is opposed TO him as a
member of the opposition wing of the
party in Ohio. This faction, number
ing 81 of OhiO's 46 delegates, accord
ing to admissions by JohnsOn's friends
wants to transfer JohnsOn's position
as Ohio member of the national COM
mittee to Harvey CARRIER. Mr.. Bryan
would be greatly pleased if the strife
in this state could be brought 10 an
end and will use his influence TO eff
feet a compromise.
Mr.. JOhnsOn's so-called radical ten
denotes evidenced themselves when in
conversation with Mr.. Bryan he reSuT
rected the government ownership
question by suggesting that such a
plank ought to go in on moral grounds.
He considered it a moral duty for the
government to take over railroads,
street car lines, and public utilities
generally, against corporate greed
and dishonesty"
Mr.. Bryan however considers the
government ownership plank as not
being an issue in this campaign, even
on Mr. JohnsOn's moral" grounds.
Mr.. Johnson does not want the chair
manship of the national committee.
y
for one thing, and he knew of no cor
porations from which he might raise
campaign contributions without their
requiring legislation or immunity of
some sort in return Mr.. Johnson
also frowns on any mention OF himself
for second place on the ticket.

way TO Denver and talked with the
candidate, none has admitted that Mr..
