johnson Won't Run.

Minneapolis. Mimi, Aug. 19.-Not-
withstanding Governor Johnson's re-
peated declarations that he would not
be a candidate for denomination, the
statement being coupled with the
threat that he will not accept If the
convention disregards his declara-
ton, the probabilities are that the
convention of democrats who assem-.
bled today will ignore the governors
wishes.
A~cephalous Ticket.
Yesterday, when told that he might
be nominated despite his protests
johnson said that If he was nominated
the ticket would be without a head,
for he would not lift a finger to further
his candidacy.
Armson Also Says No.
1t was thought that this emphatic
declaration had its effect, and that
Mayor Armson of saltwater would be
the nominee. Armson stated this
morning, however, that under no cir
cumstances would he be a candidate,
and he considered it Johnson's duty to
make the race, even at a personal la
riice.
Hammond Not laundering.
Congressman Hammond, who is also
strongly mentioned, has declined to
run, and with Armson and Hammond
both out, it looked today as though
the only course of the convention was
70 nominate Johnson INT take chances
on his acceptance.

TYPHOID GAN
BE PREVENTED

Typhoid fever has been demon
stratcd as a preventablc disease.
When once in the system it is one
of the most deadly diseases with
which medical skill is ca led upon
to battle, but simple cleanliness is
all that is required to prevent it in
most cases. The Greg onian in a
recent issue contains the following
editorial which is timely particu-
larly to the quotation from DR..
Woods Hutchinson, who recently
had an exhaustive article on the
subject in the Saturday Evening
Post.
Typhoid fever is "a demon that
may be exercised by in incarnation
of one sentenc-'Keep human ex-
crcta out of the drinking water :"
Every case of this Justly dreaded,
wasting and wasteful disasee, he
asserts is the result of a previous
case. While this diseas Sc is now
''disgracefully common, he for
sees the time-some many years,
or few years hence as the case
may be-whcn it will be as infre-
quent as typhus, its predecessor,
now practically unknown, but far
more viralent and fatal fever than
typhoid. So enthusiastic and hope
full is this optimist in the sanitary
realms that he declares that there
can be no question: but that, With
a step higher in the scale of cleanli-
ness and further quickeniRg of the
biologic conscience, typhoid will
disappear as completely as has ty-
plus.
Tydhoid as it exists today, is de-
clarsi to b disease of the countfy
and not shs eity, for the reasons
that the caties are developing ssit
OF sanitary conscience, while deni-
zcns of rural districts have as yet
little or none. Plainness of Ian
guage is one of DIR. Hutchinson

not ''mince matters. /" Hear him:

A more ingenious combination
for the dissemination Of typhoid
than this precious couple could
hardly have been devised. The
innocent householder sailies forth,
and at an appropriate distance
from his CIT, he digs two holes,
one about 80 feet deep, and the
other about four. Into the shallow
or one he throws his excrcta, while
upon the surface of the ground he
filings abroad his household waste
from the back stoop. The gentle
rain from heaven washes these
various produces down into the soil

HE Is A FAILURE.

The Lincoln State Journal, Ere
mont Tribune and Grand Island indie
pendent, al reform" organs, are silent
on the question of suppressing the
Lumber Combine, but loud on boost
ing for Attorney General Thompson.
If the farmers and others who use
lumber in Nebraska ever obtain it
cheaper they must not look to the
present Attorney General for relief.
Backed by the papers above mention
ed, and assisted by the Nebraska
Capital, edited by Frank Harrison,
former pass distributor for the Union
Pacific railway, the Lumber Combine
has the people If Nebraska by the
throat and will exact its price for lum-
Der as long as the public remains
passive and allows itself to be buncted.
What the state of Nebraska needs is
an Attorney General with the ability
and force of character of Attorney
General Hadley Of Missouri; an attor-
ney general who is not afraid to per.
form his duty even if it does result in
bringing before the court men of in
fiuence and wealth who are masauer.
aiding as political reformers.
The present Attorney General of
Nebraska has been negligent in the
discharge of his duty. How can he
consistently 60 before the people and
ask for q reelection with failure"
marked on his record. The little
things he points to with 60 much
pride that he has accomplished are
overshadowed by the fact that he has
failed to throttle the Lumber Combine.
