 This Country LaggardIy in Work of
 Humanity.
 Governor Johnson analysed the plat form of his party, particularly as to it's policy in behalf of the toiling masses, a living wage for women, the aboli- tion of child labor and the general up- lifting of millions who toil in the humble places by the passage of sani- tary legislation and the shortening of the hours of labor. The only country in the front rank that is laggard in the great work of humanity is our own country.
 California Proud of Equal Suffrage.
 He said his state was proud of its equal suffrage legislation and would not repeal it under any circumstances because the women there vote with the same earnestness and intelligence as do the men. In his closing words, Governor Johnson asked for the estab- lishment of government that will make men not richer, but better. He then characterized Colonel Roosevelt as the greatest two-handed fighter in the world. and the audience rose en masse and cheered for Roosevelt. He said that the nroribund party that was as- sase4nated by the Chicago convention last June will not receive the electoral vote of a single state in November.
 Governor Johnson closed amid cheer ing and outside briefly addressed the waiting crowd.
