HI JOHNSON SAY- E
 WILL BE A Ls. vDlDATE
California Senator Announces That He Will Seek Presidential
 Nomination.

Washington, Dec 14.-Senator Hi mate of Theodore Roosevelt on the Progressive ticket in 1921, today for mally announced himself a candidate for the Republican nomination for president in the 1920 campaign
 The announcement was intended to silence reports current since the Re- publican National Committee meeting Wednesday, to the effect that Sena- tor Johnson had made up his mind not to be a candidate. Senator John sons friends today said that con- siderable work on behalf of the John son candidacy had been going on quietly in the far West for long time, and they predicted he would be able to go into the Republican convention at Chicago next June with formidable array of delegates.
 Senator Johnson's statement an- nouncing his candidacy fairly bristles with defiance to the Republican or ganization, He made it clear that he is going into the campaign for the nomination, free and independent of all so-called Organization aid' and that he is determined to carry the fight into every state where his name can be brought before the voters in a direct primary
 He is going to leave tomorrow for California and immediately after the holidays he will announce definite and specific platform.
 Among the senator's platform blanks will be unalterable unequivocation to the entire treaty of peace; withdra wal of American troops from Siberia and other remote corners of the earth, maintenance of the right of free speech, a general reassertion of the principles of the Progressive plat form in 1912, and declaration of Rooseveltian Americanism with no foreign entanglements.
 It is said that the senator will not advocate government ownership of the railroads, although he has favored the principle, because he believes the experiences of government operation during the past two years have dem onstrated that the country is not ready for it.

I'm the Years she Suffered Nothing Relieved Her Until She Took Taniac
 Five in Family Praising Ii.

When my wife showed me a gain of six pounds on her first bottle of Tanlac. another member of my family started taking it and now there are , Tanlac boosters at my house." said Will Prentiss, who lives at 135 Porter Place, Detroit, Mich.
 For several years" he continued, my wife suffered terribly from stomach trouble of the worst kind She had no appetite and what little she forced herself to eat, formed gas and kept her constantly belching up sour, un- digested bits of food and made her miserable night and day. Her head ached most of the time, she was too nervous to sleep well at night and felt tired and worn out in the morning.
 After trying many other preparat- ions searching for something to re- lieve her, finally got bottle of Tan lac and she is like different person already. She is entirely relieved o1 that gas trouble, her headaches ant nervousness are gone and she sleeps like baby all night. She says she feels better than she has in a lons time, and she sure looks it''

WOULD SHOOT RECKLESS DRIVER
Seyera! Senators Favor Drastic Means
 ip Defense of Pedestrians.

Washington, Dec 15 - Shooting reckless automobile drivers on the spot is the cure prescribed by three United States senators for the peril ous traffic conditions in Washington. Enragcd by the almost daily accidents to life and limb, caused by needless driving in the city. Senator Fletcher of Florida said in the Senate a few days ago:
 q would vote to acquit man who drew his pistol and shot down a reck less driver who came plunging into a group of people waiting for a street car.
 Senator Ashurst of Arizona, fol- lowed Senator Fletcher with the as- sertion that a citizen soon would be obliged to arm himself and shoot down some of the drivers sWho with 6 synical disregard of human life run down old men, old women, and bab- ies,' and Senator Myers of Montana asserted that about the only remedy to be for pedestrians to go armed and shoot the chauffers who approached them in disregard of the law. "There are drivers in Washington, he said, "who ought to be shot down like a wild animal at large,'
 All these expressions were made on the floor of the Senate when Senator Fletcher alluded to an accident in which Mrs. Augusta Willard of Palat- ka, Fla, wife of former member of the House of Representatives was mortally injured. She was run down while standing near the car track waiting for car, by Charles E. Jones, negro chauffer.
 Jones was exonerated, the decision causing Senator Fletcher to comment that perhaps the next man who does a thing like that will be given a medal by the coroner

HARD CIDER NEW MILLIONAIRE
This Beverage is the Sole Survivor of
 America's Great DrOuth.

Washington, Dec 15,-Hard cider is the sole survivor of the great drouth, and has added a new phrase to Amer icas financial vocabulary This is the prohibition baby"
 New millionaries have been made overnight and in the event that the Supreme Court upholds the Volstead act, the stock of the cider mills may become as valuable as that of the Standard Oil.
 When Congress passed this enforce ment legislation, special provision exempted cider under the prohibition law. It was supposed at the time that this exemption only applied to the manufacture of cider for home consumption but under the ruling of the internal revenue commissioned It applies as we'll to the manufacture for commercial purposes so long as nothing is added to aid fermenta- ton. The result, has been that in Chicago, Boston, New York and other cities, cider containing as much as six per cent of alcohol is being placed on the market and sold openly to the former patrons of the saloons.
 One manufacturer, writing to the retail trade, suggests that "consum- n tn fv raisins, etc.
