' CHICAGO, 111., May 27. (Special.)
Frederick B. Lynch, manager of the
Johnson campaign for the Democratic
Presidential nomination, issued today

nomination' of Mr. Jonnson on the sec
ond ballot are excellent.

situation in detail. The Southern
states, which have yet to select and in
struct delegates to Denver, hold the
key t o the Presidential contest, he
said. They have 250 votes and more
than half of them will be against Mr.
Bryan, making more than onerhird of
the National gathering hostile to the
Nebraskan, according to Mr. Lynch.

party will be named at Denver and not
before." said the Johnson manager.

From Cabinet.

Taft today declined to be drawn into a
discussion of the reports that he would
resign from President Roosevelt's Cab
inet on July 1, this date being fixed In
some quarters, in the contingency of his
receiving the Republican Presidential
nomination. His friends point out to
make such an announcement at this time
would not be In good taste, for although
he fully expects to receive the nomina
tion, any statement affecting his future
relations with the President's Cabinet
contingent on the probability should not
be made until that is an accomplished
fact. No denial, however, is made either
by the Secretary or his closest political:
friends that he will quit the Cabinet
probably in the event of his nomination,
but that he has fixed on any positive date
for his retirement, the Secretary will not
indicate.
Secretary Taft went to the President's
office before 10 o'clock this morning.

fornia State Prohibition Convention
adopted resolutions today condemning
the policy of the Republican National
administration regarding the liquor traf
fic, declared such legislation the worst
enemy of any Government and demand
ed the entire suppression of traffic in

clare it a violation of state laws for the
Federal Government to Issue licenses in

FORT WORTH, Tex.. May 27. The

A MAX OF THE PEOPLE.
An Official AVho Han Proved His
Worth by the Thing He Haa Done
John Manning should be re-elect-pd
to the office of District Attor

tration has been honest. Aside
from this, his mapnifioent service
to the thousands of people affected
by the calamitous bank disasters
of last Fall commend him with
added force as an executive of
sterling integrity and large ca
pacity. It fan not be denied that hiB
efforts in dealinpr with the bank
situation, both in securing the de
positors from the loss of their
money and in directing the prose
cution of the officials who wrecked
the Title Guarantee & Trust Com

at heart the interests of his con

that the laws shall be enforced re
