?? MAN THE NATION REQUIRES, j ? John A. Johnson the Ideal Occupant of j the Presidential Chair. , As president Governor Johnson woakl have the qualities that might be do , scribed as logically and historically 0 needful at this time, representing both j In thought aud by concrete achieve- ! ;i ment all of the progressive reforms to j which the American people are now ! {| thoroughly committed. His personality , s and his methods are such that, coming Into office after the strenuous and even ] * Tifying political and financial eipe-ijces of recent years, he would be f* prepared to hold all that has been gain- j ' ed, restore an era of good feedng and j smoothly and comfortably prepare the way for such additional advanced legis- ? latlon as the times require. In a word, I Governed Johnson is precisely the kind C of lead the nation requires at this t time, ready for new legislation to meet j needs, but careful and conserva* yi> In his methods. The same confi- c ' Sence Inspiring, vote getting attributes C ^ ??tat have made Governor Johnson so s Pfpnlar In Minnesota that there is ab- i Stely no question that he could carhe state as the Democratic presi- < Jtl nominee will make him equally c P&v popular with the voters of the nation < onoe they have an opportunity to be- k come acquainted with the man. * Every political campaign has its in- n dividual conditions. It is found in this i contest that Governor Johnson pos- * sesses a strength peculiar to him alone and by which be Is certain to bring to j the Democratic party upward of a million votes in the middle we6t that have hitherto been Republican. This condl- , tion insures beyond a reasonable doubt ir victory for Democracy and Governor j < Johnson in the following states: Mln- k nesota, North and South Dakota, 111!- ) nois, Wisconsin, Iowa, Kansas, Ne- ] * -V - XT'?nktnrr Drasita, ctMorauo, aiuuiuuu, n ?suiutton and Michigan. \ /LATFORM BROAD AND STRONG e I Declarations of Governor Johnson All i Democrats Will Indorse. ! 1 "The man from Minnesota" believes I In the "immediate revision of the tariff, to the end that articles now con- I ' trolled In America by illegal and lm- , moral combinations may be deprived g of their tariff power to rob the com- 1 munity." He believes that tariff re e vision is one of the most important [ works for the correction of toe abuses * G that are plaguing the country. I (I . He believes that the maintenance of ' 'Jovernment by the people involves the * 'jpast Interference by federal power j jrith the domestic affairs of the states ' fonaistent with efficient national ad- I - ;^>lnlstration. J w He believes in the constitution. "FV>r 4-president" he says, "to go outside ' v -he constitution, even to accomplish beneficent purpose, is to enter the road that leads to the destruction of republics." He Is opposed to the government ownership of railways by state or na'a tlon. but, a* his acts show. Is a strong ;; believer In Just and rigorous regulaJl tlon. He is opposed to oversea expansion. ! S- He favors "the peaceful consolida- i tlon of the continent from Panama to , the arctic circle." 1 He Is opposed to great military ee- < tablishments, but believes that the i aire of the American navy must necessarily be determined to Borne extent by 1 the naval activities of other countries. He is opposed to ship subsidies. j "You cant kill combinations," be i N vs, "but when you come In to Jih the business of individuals they ] it be opposed as evils." I e believes In an Income tax. i e believes in the Just and equal enement of law and that the observt of the law is as Incumbent upon rich and powerful as upon the poor 1 LtAUtHIN iNSUHANUt ntrunm ( Whole Country Benefited by Action of ' Governor Johneon. I Having bad some valuable experience ' H In reorganizing a powerful Minnesota 1 Jain ranee company. Governor Johnson ? was well prepared to deal with the emergency which arose when the cor- ' ruption &Dd extravagance of the management of the great national life Insurance companies were revealed Id 1905. In November of that year he wrote a letter to President Roosevelt ;! v.bich placed him in the front rank of national leaders. In this letter the gov1$ ernor suggested a conference of gov- : |H trnors and attorneys general to be 1 ^ called by the president at Chicago, k': % The conference was held in the follow- ( I .* tag Febrnary, and Governor Johnson, * as Its tuairman and dominant figure, ; nam<i tbe famous "committee or nr- , teen" whose recommendations were embodied In the law In Minnesota and * is about a dozen other states. ^ the njonientous decision recently given by the supreme court In 4' elmilar cases coming up from North Carolina and Minnesota may have the effect of invalidating some of the rail* a ^*ray legislation secured by Governor t Johnson In Minnesota, the fact remains f m that be has done what he set out to do t and secured the enactment of popular ^ and beneficent legislation. If, as now seems probable, the epoch making de- ' cision of the court in large measure ^ transfers railway legislation from the * states to the national legislature, It be- ? comes of particular significance that one of the earliest acts of Governor Johnson's career as a member of the , Minnesota legislature was the Intro- ! y duction of a memorial to congress to . extend the powers of the Interstate , commerce commission, a memorial i ? K which antedated the extension of those | powers by some four years.
