The Hartford Republican essays
IN "parallel" The Herald in quoting
what we said two years ago anent
Mr. Taft's religious views, and our
assertion last week that 1.-The relig-
ious views or Affiliations of man
should have no direct bearing upon
his race for political Office" During
the Presidential campaign we said;
Few persons condemn Mr.. Taft on
account of his religious views and
added, But the public has a perfect
right to know whether Mr.. Taft's
views along this line-as along other
lines-conform to the popular and
dominant American spirit" 1t was
pretty well known that Mr.. Taft be-
longs to a sect (the Unitarian which
does not believe in the divinity OF
Christ. which is foreign to the
American spirit. We did not say Mr.
Taft should be condemned for his
religious views, but intimated that
he should not dodge them. Our la
ter assertion does not conflict with
these views. A mans religious views
should not disqualify him for office
but the public has a right to know
about them.

It was truly an unfortunate cir
cumstance that Mr.. Johnson should
feel impelled to quit the race for
Governor on account OF the religious
prejudice that had been engendered
against him. Ever since he entered
tho race. for some unaccountable rea-
son. he had borne the opposition and
evident hatred of a clique of his own
rarity men, who seized upon mis- re-
ligious afiliation as the most vulner-
able point of attack and magnitied
it to suit the purpose at hand. II
his retirement from the race was
their aim, they have accomplished
II. but severe cost to the Democrat
ic party of the State. They do not
deserve the name of leaders, but pal
pable destroyers, whether with In
tent or not. Mr.. Johnson has done a
manly act, purely for the sake of his
marty and to save 1t from further
disruption, but it is a shame that the
cause which impelled him to retire
should have existed in this day of
boosted political and religious liber-
tv. His manly announcement speaks
for itself and will be found else
where in this issue of The Herald.

Committee did the proper thing-ap-

when it included the Senatorial NOM

vented much unfavorable comment.

vile, and replied to every command
that he arise and work with peals Of
weird laughter. Physicians have ex-
amined him time and time again and
they declare that he is free from any
infrmity that would incapacitate him
from active work.
Now an old man probably seventy
one years Of age he admits that he
was born in Indiana at some point
which he calls below Fort Wayne"
and that his father died when he was
eleven years Of age. Beyond this he
refuses to be interviewed and usually
answers his questioners with burst
Of gleeful laughter.

his one object in life with the result
that he has succeeded, perhaps. even
beyond his early expectations For
time the poorhouse officials tried to
force him from bed by refusing TO
bring his meals to him but John, un-
perturbed. simply giggled. turned his
face to the wall, and waited. After.
time the poorhouse people were van
pushed and forced to bring him food
for fear that he would starve to death.
He is small. slender man with a
clean-cut intellectual looking face, yet
HIS appetite has been unimpaired by
his long stay in bed. He demands
his three meals day and upon get
ting them eats every crumb that is
handed TO him. His average meal
would put to rout the most husky
farmland, yet his limbs are shrunken
from disuse.
