GGY. JOHN 4. JOHNSON


What an inspiring example to
the poor country boy, the career
of John A. johnson, late Cover
nor Of Minnesota, affords! A poor
Swede farmers son almost wholly
self.taught, supporting q widowed
mother and a fatherless family
and later, by sheer force of his
own native qualities Of mind and
character, rising to the high dis
tinction Iof being thrice chosen
chief magistrate Of his adopted
State. The splendor of this
humble country boys achieve.
nent is enhanced when we re-
member he was elected to this
Office on the Democratic ticket in
a strong Republican state!
So eminent were the abilities
displayed in his official life, and
so iawIess his integrity as a man,
that already be was looming large
upon the national political hori
zon.
Though an untimely death cut
short the full frnition of SO prom
ising a career, yet viii it forever
remain another example Of what
u poor lad. though never so mean
his origin and surroundings, may
accomplish in this land Of Oppor-
tunity, iflike Governor Johnson,
be be but willing 10 dedicate him
self to industry and integrity.
