AGAIN NOMINATED
Hearst News Service.

Minneapolis, Mimi, August 20.-
John A. johnson was renominated for
Governor of Minnesota by the Demo
cratic convention late yesterday after
noon. He did not want the place and
had repeatedly requested his friends
not to start a boom in his behalf, but
the demand for his nomination was
universal and the mention of his
name stampeded the convention.
Governor Johnson will accept the
nomination and enter at once upon "a
campaign Of the state. He has made
the best Governor in the history of the
state and his selection insures sweep
ing Democratic victory.
