KNOWS WHAr spLIr MEANs.

In connection with the campaign which Senator Johnson has been mak- ing for the nomination for president on the republican ticket thought has turn ed as to what might happen in case he was not the successful candidate. With the idea of knowing in advance what his ideas might be Senator Johnson has been asked if he would accept the nomi- nation of vice president in case some other should be selected to head the ticket Such bait offered no attraction To him it is a case of first place or nothing.
 The fact that Senator Johnson was vice president on the ticket that was named by the bull moosers had giver rise to the idea among some that if he failed to get the coveted place at the lands of the republicans he would break
 crty bounds and head a new ticket o1
 5 own. His previous action was re
 onsible for such a thought but thaf
 quickly set at rest by declaring tha he entertained no such idea, that he is 2 republican and that he will enthusiasti cally support the choice of the conven tion. He considers the contest he ha! been waging family quarrel and wher that has been decided at Chicago it il ended
 None better than Senator Johnson knows what the effect of even thinking of starting new party would have up | on his present effort and he likewis knows that it was simply through tn splitting of the republicans into tw' groups, such as was done when he ral with Roosevelt, that gave us the presen democratic administration. It is not t be expected that he would command tn strong following that Roosevelt did un der such conditions but success in sucl an effort could by no means be expecte
 and it would simply have tEe effect o helping to defeat the party, from whic
 favors had previously been asked, jus
 because his candidacy had not been look ed upon with favor by sufficient mum Der.
 Senator Johnson takes the right att tude when he frowns upon any sugges tion of party split.

 Now this,' he said to the recently engaged young person, 'is what I call mighty fine, wholesome dish It is some thing I used to dote on when I was a boy this sort of thing or meat pie.

A BURMESE CHALLENGE


 If there is a sportsman in the Unit ed States who brides himself on his workmanship, and who thinks he can bring in a bigger bag of game than an illiterate, half naked Burmese hunter with a crossbow and arrows, there's such a hunter ready to take him on any time he chooses to journey out Burma way.
