Referring to the settlement of the
long drawn out street railway fight in
Cleveland, in which Mayor Tom John
son has won out for the people as
against the corporations, the Youngs-
town Telegram (Rep.) says editorial
ly:
Mayor johnson is Democrat, but
The Telegram does not hesitate to
commend him for his good work in
connection with this long contest. He
has fought the peoples battle ably
and successfully. However much we
may differ with him in some respects,
every citizen will give him credit for
courage and ability in his long seven
years fight which has now been
brought to a successful close"
