Jock is ABOVE par IN the opinion OF
>the wise ones. 1t indeed looks like a
sure thing for him. There isa feel
ing of optimism in his headquarters.
but his committee Will not be caught
slumbering through over-conadence
Look Out For JohnsoD. !,
BY the way look out for the candi-
dacy Of John A. johnson. His stock
is shooting sKyward With .marKAasrap-
idity. Mr.. Johnson has atwayl- been
good vote getter. Tn the sprlmary
election last tall 'hesreceived over .2,To0
votes for coroner without makipr any
campaign. That is fine start tor any
candidate to have. Mr.: johnson was
formerly member Of the Socialist
party, hut withdrew. his membership
when the party went wrong on the
war. He has published his. platform
which declares emphatically fQr mu-
nicipal ownership now. .He also
pledges himself to work to make the
city government useful to labor dur
ing the reconstruction period: / :
w. A. Hieken As most confident that
he will b9s sone of the fonrt nominees,
and he has every reason In the world
for believing it. Hicken'sa friends are
legion, and they are not pern1itting
snow-drffts< to encircle 'then1sin stneir
work. The dry leaders stand solidly
behind him, and the fdrY ot9anization
generally Will support: hisYcandidacy.

down at the French club the other
night Mr.. Warren g manager devoted
a goodly portion Of his address talk
ing about 80 per cent Americanism.
He used the expression .:.S9 per cent
American" frequently. and flnally at a:
set time the speaker Was interrupted
by voice, which asked: "What' do
you mean by 90 per cent American

This sort of political bunk has had
