Hon. NJ. N. johnson, can
didate for the republican nomi-
nation for U. S. Senator, spend
Monday in the city en- route to
Sargent county where he was
billed to m Ike several ad-
dresses in the interest of his
own candidacy for senator.
While here, Mr.. johnson called
at the Times office where we
had a pleasant visit with the
gentleman. We had ofte n
heard of Mr.. johnson but had
never had the pleasure of meet
ing him. He impressed us as
being a straight forward man
of character and ability. Mr..
Johnson represented this state
for eight years in the National
House of Representatives; he
was then a candidate for the u.
S. Senate and although at the
time large majority of the
people were favorable to his
promotion, the corporations and
bosses willed otherwise.a and Mr..
johnson was defeated. But Mr..
Johnson and his friends are
now sanguine that under the
state wide primary election he
will be successful. Mr.. John
son represents the anti-gang,
anti-machine element of the re.
publican party Of the state and
as the machine forces are divid-
ed in support Of three candid
ates, Hansbrough, Marshall
and Little, Mr.. Johnson's
chances would seem to be good.
tits not the province of this
paper to act as adviser to our
republican brethren but if the
republican party is to furnish
the next senator, we sincerely
hope in the interests of the
state that Mr.. Johnson will be
the successful candidate. Mr..
Johnson in the senate repre-
senting North Dakota, would
certainly be in striking contrast
with the corporation tools who
have represented us in that
body almost since statehood.
Mr.. Johnson informed US that
he would probably speak at
several points in this county
before the primary election is
held.

INCIDENT.
EVANGELIST CRANE.

Evangelist John Crane. OF Caracas.
Venezuela. who is attending the
Christian convention In Central Cos
pei hall,, Grand River and Harrison
ayes, says that the morality OF that
country Is at low ebb.
THE marriage law II despised
there" said Mr.. Crane In discussing
the country and It's conditions" and
there is not much home life. The race
is made up of Spaniards and Indians
who have intermarried, and one meets
every shade OF color from black to
white, the white, however, being In
the majority.
Politics Ia one OF the greatest busi-
nesses In that country among the bet
ter class OF people. Nearly every man
tries TO get a political position, and.
consequently, there is q great deal OF
intrigue. Castro has kept peace for
number OF years and Is very able
man as ruler. 1t is hot country
and the people are very indolent. AS
to the people themselves you cannot
depend on their word. They are very
courteous. more 30 than the people OF
America, and they treat the foreigners
aries do not meet with any outward
opposition, but the natives work In
an underhanded manner against them.
However, they treat US with consider
alton, one man even giving up his own
hammock to let my companion. Mr..
Mitchell, sleep in 1t, and he lay on
the ground all night.
Foreigners coming to the country
have developed the mines and helped
the country very materially. but the
natives look upon them as just after
money and resent the intrusion. There
are rich mines, and the country can
grow any kind OF fruit. corn and veg
etables. Business is at low ebb
there because OF the unsettled condi-
lions and differences with foreign
powers. The Dutch have just sent
gun boat there, but az yet there have
been no open hostilitiess Just now,
too. the country Is suffering from bu-
bonic plague. but the government Is
keeping II quiet. 1t reached Caracas
and II Is said that there were S0out
100 cases of 1t here"
Mr.. Crane will be In this country
few months, after which he Will re-
turn to his home In England and from
there will 20 to Spain to continue has
eyanyelistic work. Mr.. Crane says
there are few missionaries In -Venszns
ella and that the work OF converting
IN very slow. He has been In active
service there for four years and at
present there are but II attendants
at the mission.
