LET IT GO AS IT LOOKS
SAYS ANKENY

U. S. Senator Ankeny and MFs.
Ankeny spent the night in the city,
leaving today for their home In
Walla Walla. Concerning the re-
cent offer Of Congressman Jones,
his opponent for election under the
direct primary law, to sign an
agreement that the loser in the
primary should withdraw from con-
sideration by the legislature Sen.
Ankeny said that such an agree
ment was needless, as the law al
ready provided that the winner of
the primary should be chosen sena.
tor by the legislature. Therefore
he declined to sign the Jones
agreement.
The offer of this agreement is a
shrewd move on Jones part, as the
Ankeny refusal naturally tends to
confirm the suspicion that through
his old legislative organization
Ankeny is determined to return to
the senate If possible whether the
direct primary choice or not. Per-
sonally Ankeny declares that he
intends to abide strictly by the
law, but there are. various disputes
as to what the law actually pro-
videS.

STORY OF JOF1NSON'S BOOM;
ITS GENESIS AND PROGRESS

in an article in the Commoner, said
man more available could be sug-
gested
Watterson wrote magazine
story in which he said he knew of a
man more available than Bryan. He
did not mention the name of his
man, but afterward admitted that
he had Johnson in mind. Many
democrats, some of whom greatly
admired Bryan but feared he could
not be elected Endorsed the Wat
terson idea. The contention in be-
half of Johnson was that while he
was radical enough he was also a
safe and well-balanced man who
would take no ill-considered action.
Last December conference of
Johnson's friends was held, but
they could not agree. Some urged
him to come out openly and others
counseled delay. The fear of the
latter was that even if Johnson
should be nominated he would not
be accorded whole-hearted support
ny tue bryan ptuple anu WouIu NC
beaten. So the Johnson candidacy
dragged and WattersOn and others
got aboard the Bryan band wagon.
There was a revival later in the
winter when Johnson visited Wash
ington. He made fine impression
on the democratic congressman and
other party leaders.
On March 6 the Minnesota state
democratic committee adopted a
resolution in favor of Johnson, and
on March 26 he wrote a letter in
which he intimated that he was a
receptive candidate. Then his
friends formed an organization and
established the headquarters in this
city.
At the Minnesota primaries in
May the Johnson men carried all
but nine of the "a counties in the
state. The state convention in
structed the delegates to Denver to
stick to Johnson and have no sec
ond choice

DEMOCRATS
INTO Line

Democratic campaign organiza-
ton for this city and county was
completed last night with the cleo
ton of officers by the Spokane
County Democratic club. This is a
distinct organization from the
young democrats, although it con-
tains members of the latter and
the two are designed to work in
harmony. The older democrats,
the warehouses;, are to hold the fight
ing line steady and sit long around
the council fires, while the young
braves are thrown out on the trail
of the first voter for skirmish and
scout duty.
The warhorse wing will carry on
its literary campaign through a
committee of Is led by Bruce
Blake, who is also young demo-
crat, while Thomas Maloney, a
democrat Longer than the memory
of man runneth. will boss the men,
bership committee. The officers
are e. A. Child president, A. A
Lewis secretary, julius Zittel
treasurer. The finance committee
consists of Julius Zittel. Jerome
Drumheller. H. D. Merritt, E. O..
Conner and DR.. ]. NJ. Munly. Les
ter P. Edge, A. w. Jones, Lawrence
Jack, r. L. McWilliams, Arthur
Burch are assigned to arrange
programs.
Young democrats are thick on
these committees. On paper it
looks as if one of the organizations
had absorbed the other, but which
is tother is hari to tell. The club
will be ready to ratify Bryan's
nomination as soon as announce
ment is made.

FALL DOWN ON
TAX PROTEST

The Riverside property owners
committee composed of Simon
Rosenhaupt, DR.. j. E. Candy and
W. B. Roberts fell down yesterday
afternoon, as predicted, in their eff
forts to induce County Assessor
Galbraith to reduce assessments on
their real estate The assessor
simply adhered to his original de-
cision to assess property as pro-
vided by law, making a 90 per cent
assessment on a reasonable valua-
ton. He submitted a number of
these valuations to the committee
land the latter were forced to admit
that the figures could not be at
tackled as unreasonable. They ar
gued that other counties would not
be assessed on the 60 per cent
rate and the assessor replied that
he had nothing to do with the
course pursued by other assessors.
The law requires a uniform assess
ment.
He agreed, however, to communi-
cate with King and Pierce county
assessors. If they are disregarding
the law the Spokane taxpayers will
have chance to seek adjustment
from the state board of equaliza-
ton. The valuations on which Mr..
Galbraith intends to base the as
sessment are indicated by the fol-
lowing figures submitted by the
committee:
Traders bank property, 100000;
Ziegler block, ST. 800; Palace
store, $4,000; RoOkery, $4,000;
double corner at Browne and Riv-
erside, $43,500. -......-.
1t would probably be impossible
to purchase any of this property at
three times the amount it is valued
for assessment purposes. AS
previously remarked, the kickers'
committee fell down.

I. CHICAGO, July with an or

business man. at the head of it, the
Gov. Johnson presidential boom has
been formally looming since April

quarters were established at the
Grand Pacific hotel in this city.
Political and literary talent and a
platoon of typewriter maids labored
ably and industriously in the cause.
Letters and circulars were sent to
democrats everywhere to line up
delegates for the Minnesota leader.
They're optimistic, too, despite the
heavy claims of the Bryan men.
Among outsiders there is a feel
ing that ii johnson loses this year
he will at least have laid a good
foundation for 1912.
AS to the origin of his boom
there is difference of opinion.
Several individuals claim the dis
tinction of having first suggested
his name for the plate on the white
house front door. Chief among
these is ]. T. Hemple, editor of an
aggressive anti-Bryan newspaper,
the News and Courier of Charles
ton, Sc.
Many of his friends, however, be.
lieve that he walked squarely into
the field of presidential possibilities
when he achieved his marvellous
victory at the election in 1904
Roosevelt, Republican, carried the
state for president by 161 900, and
Johnson, democrat, carried it for
governor by 5000. Two years later
Johnson was reelected by 1900.
Throughout 1907 newspapers and
magazines discussed Johnson as a
possibility. The greatest attention
was attracted by articles the dis
tinguished authors of which were
Bryan and Henry Watterson, the
veteran Louisville editor. Bryan,

Macon, Ca, Dec. ~. 1907.
Mr. g. n Lewis and Others, Talla.
haRsee, Pa:
Gentlemen: We have watched with
considerable interest the recent &C.
ton taken BY the City Council Of Tai
lahasBee cOncerning the poor service
and quality Of gas furnished by the
Capital City Light and Fuel Co. We
notice especially the recent pub
lished notice issued by you 10 the gas
users Of the city Of Tallahassee.
We desire 70 submit our testimony
% the effect that our dealing with the
Capital City Light 3 Fuel Co. has been
quite unsatisfactory. On or about the
18th Of November we made complaint
20 the manager Of the gas company 10
the effect that the gas pipes running
into our place at the @. F. & A. depot
were furnishing practically all afr.
and no gas. We complained especial
~ on the point that the air registered
up the fuel bill as much as good gas
did. From that date until the end of
the month no gas whatever was used.
When the FIRST Of December arrived,
we were presented with an abnormal
" large bill. which We declined to pay.
We offered 70 settle on what we re-
gard as a reasonable basis, but the
manager Of the gas company declines
70 accept this. and has taken out the
meter, thus disseminating our supply.
We have about concluded to discon-
tinue the use Of gas at Tallahassee
altogether.
Yours truly,
PARKER RAILWAY NEWS co.
VIM Markham, Secretary
The Capital City Light and Fuel Com
pany have had with them for the last
few days our popular old friend, Mr..

part Of HIM and Mr. Swing, the super
intendent, our people are enjoying good
service from the gas plant.
