JOHNSON GETS OVATION

Having got fairly under way, the

cast him INFO outer darkness. It ap
penrcd from the text of the rcsolu
ton that Mr.. Mcclure had grieveous

ways and means committee.
Henry Lincoln Johnson, the Negro
Republican national committeeman for

meeting shortly after the session opcn
Ell Mt IL o'clock. His attendance was
unexpected and when he walked into

two hiery speeches and several inter

came up for consideration.
His first speech VIII 'cb was in the

CONGRESS PETITION.

II tell you now that I have n petit

the cabinet and to the senate, asking
thar the use Of the mails be barred to
the Ku Klux Khan which has been re.
organized In many southern states.
The Republican party isn't going to
stand for any such criminal disorder.
Johnson also discussed the propos

coming Republican congress is pledged
to the passage OF such an act and that
the Democratic members Of the nation
al Legislative body will not oppose it 4.
You know I got out on the stump
