BENSON Am JOHNSON.

A BIOLOGISTS for Samuel II. Benson Jr. Ropubli-
"A President Of City Council. intimate that he
is not responsible for the existing deadlock in
eli on the Building Inspector and the Milk Inspector,
but that he is being held back by Toward L. Johnaon
personal and political friend who formerly
Building Inspector and who now desires another term
Such apology even il il be we'll founded. only
serves c make the position OF President Benson
than 1t WAS before the apology
half The suggestion that Mr. Johnson has sucn an
influence him that he controls his official action
and prevents him from performing his plain duty to
he people and the Republican party would discrcdlt
both President Benson and Mr. Johnson with all good
Republicans and puta end to their participation in
party and public affairs
There is doubt that Mr. Johnson wished to be
Building Inspector. Nor IS there any doubt that he
was the choice OF President Benson 1t also may be
said with equal truth that if majority Of the Re
publican Councilmanc caucus had voted in favor Of
Mr.. Johnson, both he and President Benson would
have looked to the minority swing in line and ef-
feet election at tho meeting of Council
Unfortunately for President Benson and MIR. john
son, his candidate for Building Inspector, however
Melvin r. Charles received a majority Of the votes
Apooeists for President Benson say that whom as
chairman Of the caucus. he declared Mr. Charles to
be the party nominee for the Office he really meant to
support him. but that. after the caucus Mr. Johnson
and his friends got hold OF him aud induced
him to pursue The ruinols OF repudlatng his
party and caucus obligations.
We do not say that Is not true aud yet we
scarcely credit its accuracy The ides that man
like Mr.. johnson. who is politically ambitious would
inspire President Bcrson TO do thing which would
spell political ruin 70 both them scarcely can be
entertained Nor is It reasonable to suppose that
man like President Benson would permit man like
Mr. Johnson 10 put collar and leash him. That
would be too great sacrifice sclf-respec for Pres
dent Benson to make stories TO the contrary notwh-
standing. Friends OF Mr.. Johnson may feel that he
holds the President Of Council leash and there is
no question that story to that effect Is abroad in
the city. We doubt, however. that either President
Benson or Mr.. Johnson would to admit the truth
Of such suggestion Neither would they care to be dis
