Tom L. Johnson, mayor OF Cleve-

an auto this fair day, showing the
town to some of his friends.
1t Is q long time since the plump
mayor Of our sister city has had a
chance to look over the town where
he used to run the street railway. and
he was SO much taken up with the
fun that he could not spare time to
do any talking about the conditions
In his own town.
He called on Mayor Thompson and
the two walked over to the Pontchar-
train together. On the way they
talked about street railways--but 1t
was the confidential kind OF talk that
was not passed out afterward. Tom
l.. will tarry with us but day, and
then return TO the town where car
fares are three cents-and upward.
To Judge from appearances. his
strenuous fighting has only condition
ed the chief executive OF Cleveland,
for he looks as fieshy and healthy az
ever and the same old smile Is there.
