SENATOR JOHNSTON
 S|LENCES DOUBTS
Will Stand on His Record When Seeking Re-Elec-
 ton to the Senate

Washington, December 2S.=- tspeetal9 If any one has seriously doubted that Senator Johnston will be e eadidate to succeed himself in the United States Senate, that doubt may be removed.
 Senator Johnston has remained in Washington during the recess in order to catch up with his very heavy mail and 10 look after many requests from his constituents. Regarding his can didaey, Senator Johnston said:
 My friends haven't any doubts, but some people are pretty hard to convince of a thing they do not wish to believe. IF, however, they will wait till the canvass opens they will no longer nave any doubts.
 The senator declares that he will not have any special platform of his own. "The democratic platform is good enough for me-" he says. .I have no nostrums of my own that l am seeking to administer to get into office. But simply stand on my record as g. dem ocrat and my services to my state and people, in war and In peace"
 The senator seems in better health than in long time and Is fully equip ped, he says for the long siege of the extra session.

For every mile he travels, on sea, he says he walks 1772 steps on the deck of the steamers If he had paid in cash for his travels, lie says. it would have cost him SS596 to make the tour of the world.
 He claims to have the worlds record as a walker having made a mile in six minutes. He hopes to get rich by writing book when he has completed his jour ney and established a record as the worlds leading pedestrian.

 Mr. Sevier. however, had made his hit, and all that remained for him to ac- eomplish was to circle the bases. and score the run. He had acted. That was the point which pleased his superiors. They cared little that he had acted less capably than an experienced and thor oughly unionized fireman. Because be had done his best in an emergency, his superiors saw in him talent on which to build, They immeditelY proceeded to build, with the result that Mr. Sc vier today is considered one Of the leading lights in the railroad world of the country,
 After resting few hours in Chat tanooga following that miserable run, MT sevier returned in a Pullman. X high official of the road was there.

 A week or so later, the aforemen- toned Superintendent Frazier spoke 4to the same effeet-to the same practical effect, 1t might be stated.
 "Sevier. said he, after arduous e fort I have induced that boss of ours to give the boys who have stood hy him suits of clothes. You arc entitled to share in the spois Do you think that you could get one for Sl5?"
