Fully seventy five papers in the state have en-.
dorsed c. A. Johnson for Governor during the past
two weeks in addition to the many which stood for
him prior to that time Mr.. Johnsons political
enemies are making the claim that If he secures
the nomination, which is most likely, he can never
defeat Burke. The Independent believes that Mr.
Johnson can and will defeat Burke this year Burke
defeated Johnson by very small majority two
years ago. He had the advantage because he had
held the office but term and many voted for
him, believing that "one good term deserved ano-
Their" Burke given the secord term, and the
Republican voters will that from
own ranks is elected this time. Burke has made
good enough governor, he's all right a and
as state official, but we have in
ranks who can saw the wood, too. Let's elect
Johnson and add strength to our own machine.

especially good Judge Davis has held the
Office nearly six years, and during all of that time
there has not been the slightest thing concerning
his work, that would not stand the closest scrutiny
There is absolutely why he should not be
returned and the Independent looks for his nomi-
nation by safe majority. He believes in the en-
forcement of the law, and while he may not have
made many friends among the element that does
not believe in rigid enforcement of laws, he
has large following who admire him on account
