the johnson workers here for ire
mendous reception, a huge parade of
thousands of his admirers from the
railroad station to his Headquarters at
the Auditorium Hotel which itself is
plastered outside and in by signs com
plctely dwarfing anything of the kind
! done by the headquarters of any other
candidate, and then d big reception at
which the Senator will shake few
thousands Of his admirers by the hand.
Plans of the Johnson forces from
tomorrow until Monday night, his
managers said, would be determined by

manufacture Of demonstrations at ma
tional conventions for many years.
Most of them remember that no cand-
date ever drew bigger crowds or
seemed to inspire more enthusiasm
than William Jennings Bryan, so as a
pure demonstration of voting strength
Johnson's fireworks during the days
intervening from now until the close
of the convention are not expected to
influence very many Of the men hold
ing credentials as delegates.
