friends Of people who formerly were op-
posed to him." continued the show Me-
governor. "snd who did not thoroughly
understand him.
johnson is an excellent man. and
there Is the greatest admiration for him.
but there is practically no organized
movement in our part Of the country to
nominate hin for the Presidency. II
Bryan is nominated Johnson VIII do his

cussing the political situation in his

Gov Burke Is the first Democratic gov

OF Republican votes.
THE people want Bryan" said the
governor. Il have strong hopes he will
be elected. Johnson would have been the
stronger man In States which have a
large Scandinavian population, ike North
and South Dakota. Wisconsin, Minnesota,
Illinois, and others. I believe, II nomi-
mated. he could swing most or those
States into the Democratic column.
Hughes would be the strongest man
the Republicans could nominate. He is
free OF all the objections which certain
elements entertain against Taft whose
candidacy is weakened by his past atti-
tude on certain QUESTIONS

plished by this conference, the meeting Of
the governors has done a great deal 10

Il believe President Roosevelt IS an
honest, fair and square man. and a
President whose sole aim is the welfare
OF his country.
