Governor John A. johnson OF
Minnesota in a recent interview
said:
81 am candidate for the presi-
dency in the sense that if ! gain
the nomination shall accept it
and make every effort to be
elected. | am not making any
personal campaign and do not
expect to seek instructed dele
oates. I consider the ambition
to be President one of the most
laudable aspirations which any
man can entertain"
Gov. Johnson is a most popu-
lar man at home, indeed he would
have to be to be twice elected
Governor of the Republican state
OF Minnesota as a DemOcraC, -Uul
it is very doubtful if his friends
can land the presidential nomi-
nation for him. So far there are
no delegates instructed for him
except those from his own state,
Mr.. Bryan having the rest OF the
instructed delegates up to this
time. 1t looks now that Mr..
Bryan will receive the nomi-
nation for President on the first
ballot that is taken when the
national convention meets in
Denver.

In recent communication to
the public through the Mammoth
Spring Democrat, Hon. Chas. e,
Elmore, Democratic nominee for
Prosecuting Attorney, states that
after he takes the oath Of office
he will drive the blind tigers from
this judicial circuit. The people
will be with him in this under
taking, which has been made
much easier for him owing TO the
untiring efforts of the present
Prosecuting Attorney, Hon, 7, l..
Herrn. When Mr.. Horn went
into office blind tigers were flour
ishing in many parts OF the dis
trict, but at this time the oper-
ations of these violators OF the
law are confined, it is declared,
TO not more than two or three
towns in the entire district, and
Mr.. Herrn declares he will bre ak
these up before he retires from
office. Therefore, all Mr.. Elmore
will have to do will be to keep
the tigers squelched.
