H. JOHNSTON IS
ALIVE, ASSERTS
MICHIGAN NJ AN
Declares Name of Resident of
Swamp Put on Ballot to
Show up Primary Law
ONE H. JOHNSTON DEAD

Lansing, Mich, Mar. 5.-Anyone
who doubts the existence of the
AHiram Johnston" whose name was
certified for the Michigan presiden-
tial primary election and then or
dered stricken from the ballot may
have visual proof that he lives by
accompanying John Baird, state con-
servation commissioner, into the
swamps of Milwaukee township next
Saturday.
Baird hurled this challenge to the
sceptics today almost at the time
newspaper men learned that a
Hiram Johnston" who lived in the
same neighborhood as Baird's "Zil-
waukee Hiram" died last July and is
buried in a Bay City cemetery. Baird
today said he filed the Johnston pc
tition because l wanted to show that
the Michigan presidential preferen-
tial primary law is a joke" John
ston consented to "run," Baird said.
saying it would be "fun to see my
name in the papers"
milwaukee Hiram made Baird
promise, the commissioner said, that
he would have to make no speeches.
ONE is BURIED
Bay City, Mich, Mar. 5.-"Hiram
Johnston" is dead. He was buried
in Oak Ridge cemetery here last
July.
Thus further confusion is added
to the Michigan presidential pri-
mary election of April z, next, in
which the name of "Hiram Johnston"
was to have appeared in the Republi-
can column together with the names
of Senator Hiram w. Johnson of CAL
ifornia, sPresident Calvin Coolidge
and William G. Simpson of Detroit.
Jdhnston's name was ordered
stricken from the ballot yesterday by
Secretary of State Charles Deland
upon receipt of a letter purporting to
come from "Hiram Johnston" of Zil-
waukee township. The letter was a
scrawled sentence asking simply that
his name be withdrawn. 1t was dat
ed "Milburne, Michigan" and was
presented to the Secretary of State
by John Baird, state conservation
commissioner, whose home is at Zil-
waukee. The letter bore no post
mark. "Milbourne" is not listed in
postoffice guides.
The correct name of the man who
died last July is on the records as
Martin Hiram Johnston. He was
better known as "Paddy" Johnston.
He lived in house boat on the Sag
inaw river and was employed as
Waterman by the North American
Chemical Company of this city.
