MAN THE NATION REQUIRES.
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 10
meet new needs, but careful and con.
sentative In his methods. The same
confidence-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 op
portunity to become acquainted with
the man. Morally and politically right
physically tall and strong. young and
active. he is thoroughly equipped for
the labors of political campaign and
the duties OF the great Office OF presi
dent. II is certain that he can carry
every southern state. He can carry
his own state. and IL any Democrat
can do so, New York. New Jersey and
all the border states, and ne can make
debatable territory OF at least six 9th
er states
Every political campaign has its in
dividual conditions II is found in this
contest that Gov. Johnson possesses
a strength peculiar to him alone and
| by which he is certain 10 bring TO the
Democratic party upwards of a million
votes in the middle west that have
hitherto been Republican. This condi
tion insures beyond reasonable
doubt victory for Democracy and Gov
Johnson in the following states Min

nois. Wisconsin, Iowa. Kansas. Ne
