operations were performed, but both
were unsuccessful in restoring him

poorly for several months. That Gov.

operation as dangerous was evidenced
when he declined to settle his per

secretary, Frank A. Day.

a ONE pessimists say that oppor-
tunity for the American boy
~ has passed. but the career Of
the late John A. Johnson, gov
erDor of Minnesota, does not prove it.
When Johnson was nominated for gov
ernor in 1904, to lead a forlorn hope,
as everybody supposed, his political
opponents published broadcast the
statement that his father had died
drunkard in a poorhouse and that his
mother had taken in washing. The
report was investigated and proved
true, but 1t did not have the effect
that its circu]ators had hoped. The
American manhood Of Minnesota. the
same kind of American manhood that
had elected the rail splitter, Lincoln,
president, arose for Johnson. He was
elected, although the remainder of his
ticket was showed under by nearly
10000 majority. Not only so, but he
has been elected twice since, the only
Democrat chosen in his strongly Re-
publican state In 1900 Johnson was
the most prominent candidate for the
Democratic presidential nomination
second to Bryan.
Governor Johnson died as the result
of the fourth operation for appendi-
citis, or, more correctly, the adhesions
resulting from former operations for
appendicitis. the first Of which occurred
| fifteen years ago. He was born In
Minnesota in 1861. the son of poor
Swedish immigrants.
The last notable utterance of Gov
ernor johnson was an appeal for the
| west to stand together and hook out
for its own interests. which President
Taft regarded of sufficient importance
| to refer to in his Boston address. made
at the very time that johnson was pre-
pariug to undergo the operation which
! resulted in his death.

Because Charles r. Stevens asked
him to pay a gas bill which he said
was long past DUE officer Weisenbach
of the East Chicago police force walked
into the office of the Northern Indiana
Gas company, in Hammond, and as
saulted him with black jack
All of the employees of the office

The officer came into the Office this
morning and after approaching Stew

to collect a bill at my homer" Stew

When the bill finally went to the
governor for his signature he discov-
cred also that It would repeal the law
enacted at this session by which the
city council of Indianapolis was re-
duced from twenty-one to nine mem
bers. So he decided to veto the bill
on the ground That he did not believe
1t wise to repeal the other law so soon
after It was passed.
Representatives Faulkner, of Michi-
gan City, Racey, of Vincennes, and
several other democratic representa-
tives from fourth class cities, heard of
his hesitancy in signing the bill and
they rushed to the governors office to
see about it. They told the governor
they would be mobbed II they were to
go home without that bill being signed.
They pointed out the crying need for
such a law in order that fourth class
cities might have the same relief that
was granted to cities of other classes.
They told him that cities of the first,
second and third classes had been
given the relief legislation that they
asked for and that cities Of the fourth
class were the only ones that had fall

then told him that it was apparent to
me he had vetoed the Gary and Ham
mond court bills with the idea that
the Crown Point bill would provide the
necessary relief.
THE governor nodded his approval
Then pointed to the fact that the
Crown Point measure had failed com
pletely and asked him If he did not

demanded that the Hammond bill be
passed over his veto.
Governor Admits Error.
THE governor" said Mr.. Gavit, re
piled, 7 believe you are right, but
man In my position dare not appear
to vacilate. I must stand by my po-
sition in this matter"
Then Mr.. Gavit suggested that Gov
ernor Marshall call in some of the
house leaders and indicate to them
that he would not disapprove of their
passing the Hammond measure over
his veto. The governor hesitated. 1t
seemed that he was almost convinced
and then he said:
mo. 1 must stand on the position I
have taken even though my veto of
the Hammond measure may have been
hasty.'
That ended the Lake county court

the hardest fought and most bitter
contests that has ever taken place at
the state capital

Mr.. Gavit unqualifedly denounced
Senator Bowser and Representative
Mickey He felt sorry for Represen-

that Senator Bowser had repeatedly
falsified to the Hammond men and
had double crossed them at every turn
He claims that he is positively unre-
liable and refused altogether to rec
ognize his duty to his North township
constituency
Mickey" said Mr.. Gavit. I'VE al
know what Mickey is. He was will
Gary from the start until the last day
of the session when he seemed K
realize that he ought to make amends
and appeared to side with the Nortl
township delegation. We never knew
how Mickey stood, though, and it i
safe to say that he misrepresented u
in this fight. though he did bette
towards the last.
"As for Kliver, every one seems t
