were natives of Sweden. His father,
Gustav Johnson, land his mother, Car
oline HanLson Haden, were both of
peasant stock.
Gustav Johnson was a blacksmith
and for a number of years he conduct
ed his business on a farm near St.
Peter. On this farm the future gov
ernor was born; About the time of
the Indian troubles in that neigh
borhood during tie Civil war the
Johnsons moved to the village of St.
Peter. where the fat'her re-established
his shop, but he failed to prosper in
town and finally died, leaving his fam
ly in ioverty. John worked in stores
and supported his nother and in the
meantime formedl the reading habit
and mianaged to obtain .a good educa
tion. Finally an opportunity opened
for him to become editor and part
ownaer of the St. Peter Herald. His
paper was popu'ar and he was also
ini demand as a sp)eaker at public
meetings.
His tirst venture in polities resulted
inl a detfea t for State stnator in 1894,
jiust after lie had married Miss Eli
nIore M. Preston. a teae-hier.
In 1898 .he was again aonminated by
the Democrats fo.r the senate and was
elected. Here lie enhanced his rep
utation as a public speaker and a sty
dlent of Political questions, but made
some enemies in his own party when
he defended the American soldiers
in the Philippines and the conduct of
the niatio)nal administration. But if
he lost Democratic support he gained
more from t,he Republicans and wihen
in 1.904 he was nominated for goveirn
or by the Democratic Sta.te conven
tion he was elected. Two years later
he was elected overwhelmingly. When
it was prop)osed to nominate him for
a third time for governor declared he
would not be a candidate, but he was
unanimously .renominated and was
again elected by a big majority. Gov.
Johnson for the last few years was,
in demanid for a speaker .at political
ga.therings and ehatauquas.
