Gov. johnson is a man Of strict ad-
herence to political principle, but he
does not believe in confusing every
passing fancy or fad with political
principle. He believes that there are
few basic political ideas which char

Democrat to-day and an Independent
tomorrow. Throughout his career he
has been Democrat
Although there can be no question
that Gov. Johnson is believer in
sweeping tariff reforms, and a believer
in the necessity for vigorous legisla-
ton to meet certain modern Industrial
conditions, he has such an abundance
OF common sense, so much intellectual
balance, and is so tactful in his metn-
DDS that he achieves his ends without
that excessive friction and violent dis.
turbance that has been characteristic
Of some Of our recent reformers. Gov.
johnson is big man. He is not wed
ded to particular political fad. He is
In craftsmanship something OF an op.
portunitist. Although guided by some
big principles. he prefers to decide
questions as they come up on their
individual presentation.
As a Democratic candidate he is
strong, because between his genuine
devotion to reform and his careful and
effective methods Of getting reforms
he should have no difficulty in uniting
in his support both the conservative
and radical elements in his party. This
should insure him the normal Demo.
cratic strength, carrying with II, OF
course, the solid south and such states
as New York and New Jersey. In ad
dition, Gov. Johnson will draw an i'm.
mense Republican vote from Scandi
navian-American citizens, as well as
other classes, in such states as iii
nois, Wisconsin, Minnesota, North and
South Dakota, Montana, Nebraska and
Washington. There is no question
that he could carry Minnesota and the
two Dakotas, Wisconsin and Illinois.

Marie had frequently told Mrs.
Whipple, who keeps the rooming
house, that the burden of caring for
her sister was almost too great for
her to bear, and limited that II she
could leave Maggie well provided for
she would "go away"
Several days ago she departed
from the rooming house and remained
away three days. When she returned
she said she had been in an auto &C.
cident.
Mrs. Whipple now believes that she
contemplated suicide at that time
and went away to wind up her per-
sonal affairs in preparation for the
carrying out Of her plan.
After Marie's Disappearance II. A.
Germond of Seattle, Wash, whose
wife is a sister Of the Lehman girls,
forwarded to the st. Louis police
letter which Maggie, the invalid, had
written to Mrs. Germond.
The afflicted girl did not dream of
the sacrifice which was about to be
made for her. She wrote that Marie
had deserted her and that she
feared she would be taken to the city
hospital.

pleaded. II have been too great a
burden for Marie and she has left me

The police were investigating state
ments made In this letter when the
lifeless body of Marie was found.
Marie Is described by Mrs. Whipple
as having been young woman OF
noble character, devoted solely to the
care OF her sister.
For the last year, Mrs. Whipple
says, Marie has seemed unusually Sc
rene OF mind and she seldom com.
planned of the hardness of her lot, as
she had done before she took out
the insurance policy.
Marie alone knew why. The secret
was hers and that which bore her up

death was the text; Greater love

UP his life for his friend"
