Rochester, Minn - 3'jvernor John A.
Johnson, tliree times elected govern-
or of Minnesota, u candidate for dem
ocraiic n.irninatipn for president of
the I 'lilted States in 1 !H>8, and looked
upon b ymany throughout the coun-
try ae a probable democratic national
standard bearer in 1912, died at a
hospital here at !!:-.> Tuesday morn-
ing following an opperatlon last *\'ed-
iitsday.
(J-jvernor Johnsons life hung con-
tinually in the balance until the end
came. So frequently did his condi-
tion changed alternately from better
to worse, iliut his physicians were
hopeful, but none too optimistic,
, were able to say at no time since the
! operation was performed that the
' governor had more than an even
i chance for his life. At his bedside
| when the end came were Mrs. John
: son. Miss Margaret Sullivan, her
! friend, Mrs. \V. J. and Charles II.
| Mayn. Dr C. V McNevin, Frank A.
! Day. the governor's private secretary;
Kied H. Lynch, Democratic natonal
committeeman, and Misses Janney
j and Schiller, the governor's nurses.
Dr. \Y. J. Mayo statid there were
1 m traces of blood poisoning and that
j the Immediate cause of death was
I xhaustion and heart failure. It be
lng the fifth day after the operation,
i the one when the criss usually ar-
' rives in cases of this kind, unusual
; apprehension was felt by physicians
M in day Dr. Charles 11. Mayo com-
ing from the governor's roomm Mon-
day afternoon said his patient s won-
derful resistance indicated almost to-
t.i' abstinence from dissipaton in any
fcrm. "His vitality is almost that of
a child." said the doctor, "and this
has been the greatest factor in pro.
longing his existence."
Considerable encouragement was
felt Monday morning when the gov-
ernor took chicken broth and was able
tu retain it. This he had been un-
able to da previously.
When the governor breathed his
laat. Mrs. Johns ai, who had been in
almost hourly attendance at her hus-
bend s side, and who had borne up
bravely under the ordeal, collapsed
and was taken to the Sullivan home,
j Governor Johnson was in a ,ete.-
' nrgic state during a greater part or

self several times to pat bis wife on

Governor Johnson, elected on the
I dear craHc ticket In a strong republi-
can state, was one of the unique
1 characters of the Northwest—a man
whose career stands out as a striking
example or the poor hoy's possibilities
in free America.

And his mother was a washerwoman

•against the proverbial wolf. Hater,
his earning capacity increased, he
relieved his mother of all responsibil-
ity.
Most boys would have railed,
against a drunken father, but it is
related that young Johnson's pity for
his. dissipated parent largely out-
weighed any tendecy he might havt
had toward anger or hatred.
Clean In Ills own private life, equal

idol at home—a fact clearly attested

| Suddenly Governor Johnson be-
' came a national character and was
one of ihe most prominent figures in
the Denver oenventlon. Among the
list of presidential possibilities he
ranked high and was given sesroous
consideration.
Memphis, Tenii I'he entire gulf
coast and the interior of the gulf slates
from Pascagoula, Miss,, to Pensacola,

New Orleans was cut off from com-
munlcatlon with the outside woild, and
' when a few telegraph wires were
patched up Tuesday marning reports
emanating from that city stated that
four people were known to be dead

j $100,000.
Mobile. Alabama, was thoroughly
alarmed over the threatening condi-
tions caused by the storm which con-
tinued to increase in violence. 1 lie
wind had in creased in velocity until a
gale of forty miles an hour was sweep-
ii g the city. The w aters of Mobile bay
,at mdnight were backed up beyond
i Water street, more than two blocks
from the river front, and still were
rising. Indications are that Mobile,
like New Orleans, will be cut off from
the world.
From Biloxi and Scranton, on the
gulf coast of Mississippi, meager re-
ports tell of damage to shipping anil
t ) biddings along the beach and the
| less of at least one life. At Biloxi
i the wind attained a velocity cf fifty
miles and hour, and it is estimated
that the property 1 >ss will be between

'crossed the continental dlide and is
now west of the Rocky mountains. All
day Wednesday the president traveled
with the panorama of white-capped
peaks of the Rockies in view and at
one time the train ran for a mile or
more through fields of snow.
Beginning the first of the two days
of his CorolaJo tour, Mr. Taft mo-
tored -10 miles out of Denver to break
fast Wednesday morning at the home
of Thomas F. VVaslh. From Wolhurst
with an additional train filled with
Colorado people as an escort, the pres
ident proceeded by train to Colorado
Springs where lie made a brief ad-
dress in the public park to one of the
largest crowds of the trip and then
made an automobile tour to points o*
scenic interest.
In his speech at Colorado Springs
Wednesday afternoon, the president
.-.aid:
"We are entering upon an era of
prosperity that 1 hope will be excep-
tional even in the* history of our pros-
perity, but in doing so we must be
careful not to foregt tile- obligation
tli-re is upon us to adopt such legis-
lative measures in state and nation as
shall prevent a recurrence of the
ebuses which were brought so plainly
to the mind of the ] e: pie by my pre-
decessor, Theodore Roosevelt.
"It is easy when you are comfortable
and when the income is coming to
think that everything is all right, but
it is just about that time when the
sappers and miners begin their work
upon the foundations of society with
reference to the abnse3 t i which I
have referred.

with the aid of the people, to put upon
the statute books such additional tet;

the standards of business and in ti c
management of railroads and indus-
trial corporations, which were set up
by my predecessor in his talks to the
people and in his messages to con-
gress.
"Now I think we have made great
advance under his innueuce but we
must not atop. He took up the ques-
tion of conservation of our resources
including the reclamation of arid
land, the preservation of forests, the
deepening of waterways and pledged
all his efforts in the direction of
a scientific solution of these ques-
tions.

to a culmination in one administration
or two or three.
