Why C. A. Johnson
The Optic has been asked "why sup
port C. A. Johnson again—why not
jump in andlielp Hanna, Buchanan or
Midtbo into the governor's chair." To
this we can only say that we do not be
lieve that any of the other candidates
can serve the state.as well and with as
free a hand as Mr. Johnson. Of course
Midtbo is not to be considered, as his en
try into the race is but his perennial cam
paign joke. On the other hand both
Messrs. Hanna and Buchanan are tied
to various machines and interests, and
if either one secures the nomination and
election the successful candidate will be
compelled to consider ties that bind
first and the wishes of the people last
There never has been a time in Mr. John
son's career when he was as free as he
is now. He has made absolutely no
promises to any gangs, machines or
lues—and he is asking no support
whatever from them. He is running
on his own hook. He is absolutely in
dependent and his only appeal for votes
is. to the people. Considering all cir
cumstances and conditions, where could
you find a more ideal candidate then he?
