than ever before. I started the cam

came out in the same fashion. / made
no compromise. but fought to the last
ditch.
1T doesn't make any. difference if a
few politicians said the people be
damned for the time is coming when
the people will come into their own.
The future will find me as good ma :
tured and as full of fight as ever and
determined that in time to come the
people shall rule instead Of a few men
and international bankers in New York
Politics is behind me for the time
being. I won't discuss or deal with it
until I have had a little enjoyment
in dear old California"
A. T. Johnson, the senator's aged
father, was the first to greet him.
