WORK FOR JOHNSON
LISTS ARE SENT OUT FOR HIS SUP
 PORTERs.
Chairman Troy Speaks on the Inter Views Given Out by Senator
 JOseph F. Johnston.

The Montgomery supporters or SoV- ernor John A. Johnson for the Demo- cratic Presidential nomination ssid vesterday that the sentiment for the Minnesota Governor was so strong Tn Montgomery County that they nave been unable to list all the names or those who are in earnest and outspoken adherents of Johnson.
 Lists were prepared yesterday and left is various parts of the city for signatures, of the many voters Who want to become members of the Jonn- son Club It was announced that the leaders of the Johnson movement Tn this county were busy men Of anairs who were doing the work alone ana that they had not the time to devote to personally presenting the lists 10 the Montgomery voters This will however, be done, for volunteers Will he called for from the Johnson ranks who will be asked to carry the itsts around. The Johnson men were ih- mensely pleased with the punllsneo interview with Senator Joseph F. Jchn- ston, declaring that the part or WIS dom for the Democratic Party was the nomination of Governor Johnson.
 We are grtified at the statement of Senator Johnston" said Chairman Ajax Troy yesterday. "The record and personality of Senator Johnston adds a force and strength to the arguments which we have been making that would be lacking had any other Alabamian said them The fact that Senator Johnston ably presented them in a brief interview will give them an ad- ditional force in appealing to many voters of the State. The interview or Senator Johnston carried the fact that three fifths of the Democratic Senators thought it unwise to nominate MT. Bryan This statement is endorsed by the appeal sent out by the most dis tinguished Southern Senators asking the Southern States not to send an in- structed delegation to Denver. These party leaders are observant states men, whose knowledge and wide vic ion show the uselessness of nomiHat- ing a ticket that is foredoomed to de- feat They have been stanch support- CTS of Mir Bryan in the past and they are his friends today. Nothing they have said has been said in enmity to him. Their statement Is only an ex- pression of their firm conviction that MT. Bryan will be foredoomed to de- feat if nominated at Denver and that the party will be beaten before shot is fired or a bugle sounded.
 These and other patriotic Demo crats have turned to Governor John son as a magnihcient fighter and an undefeated Democrat. With Governor Johnson's name victory is always as- sociated. With the name of Mir. Bryan unfortunately for the party. the asso- citation has been defeat
